SAN PABLO CITY, Laguna<\/strong>\u00a0— A unique delicacy that you can only find at the Forest Wood Garden Farm located in Sta. Elena village here is the pansit “Kalabuko,” a healthy stir-fried noodle dish filled with organic vegetables and fruits.<\/p>\n

Joselito “Joel” Frago, owner of Forest Wood Garden Farm, said the name “kalabuko” is derived from its ingredients: organic mushroom (or kabute in Filipino, the “Ka”), squash (or kalabasa stands for “la”) mixed with coconut (buko) meat, and seven other vegetables and two fruits.<\/p>\n

Frago said the dish that is unique to their farm was concocted on a rainy day when it was impossible for them to go out and buy food.<\/p>\n

“I have children, a family to feed, so what I did is to make use of whatever ingredients I have in the farm, mix it up with noodles and came up with my own version of noodle dish,” he said.<\/p>\n

Due to its unique taste, especially the crispy coconut meat, his family and children liked the dish, which has health benefits because the ingredients are organic.<\/p>\n

His friends and relatives started to order Kalabuko, so he decided to make it as one of the main dishes of his restaurant’s menu.<\/p>\n

Aside from the farm, Frago also owns a restaurant in the town’s busy area where “kalabuko” can be ordered for dine in and take out.<\/p>\n

Forest Wood Garden is accredited by the Department of Tourism as an agri-tourism farm site, and by the Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) as a learning site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
