Samalamig or Palamig which literally means “Coolers” are prepared beverages sold on the streets or roadside. It usually contains sago or tapioca pearls and gulaman or jellies and flavored with syrup from different fruit extracts. This is a great thirst quencher specially during Summer.
Before, there’s only one flavor of Palamig. Just brown sugar syrup, banana essence, tapioca pearls and/or jelly. Now, it’s not limited to that anymore and has evolved into a wide variety of flavors.
Buko Pandan (Coconut-Screwpine)
Just like the Buco-Pandan Saladthat I made only has thinner syrup because it has more water.
Fruit Salad and Sweet Corn
The Fruit Salad Drink has milk,canned fruit cocktail and jellies. The Sweet Corn Drink has canned corn kernels, milk and jellies as well.
Sago at Gulaman, Buko Juice (Coconut Juice) and Melon Juice
Sago at Gulaman -the usual tapioca pearls and jellies with brown sugar syrup. Buko Juice is Coconut water, sugar and coconut meat.and Melon Juice is just like the melon juice I made.
These are sold for P6 ($0.12) – small cup
P10 ($0.20) – medium cup
P15 ($0.31)- large cup
I bought a large cup of Coconut Juice this morning when I went to the market…
