  • FINALLY! I HUNTED SOME GIANT NIPA PALM FRUIT AND GOT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT TASTES LIKE!
    On this day in Cateel, we head off to the river and go stand up paddle boarding... but on a mission! The mission was find some giant nipa palm and see if there was really fruit inside! Joined by my Japanese friend and now neighbor, we had a fun experience paddling the river. The locals here in eastern Mindanao are always kind and helpful... and Manong Melvin showed us which Nipa Palm to get.
    This was just another awesome Philippines beach home day in Cateel, Davao Oriental, Mindanao. A day with probably one of the more unique fruits you can find in the Philippines!
    FINALLY!! GIANT NIPA PALM FRUIT! I KNOW WHAT IT TASTES LIKE!
    CAN YOU COOK WITH IT!?
    Power On!

    I'm sure you know by now Fin has just launched a sleek beautiful tourist diving boat from Malaysia and is now currently sailing to Dumaguete, maybe just maybe some of the fighter boys who are based in PH could join him sometime on an island hopping tour around the country, i think that would be a lot of fun and adventures, I know you guys now has your own priorities and schedules so having everybody on board would be difficult so I'm hoping someday it will happen. Amen!!😂😂😂
