This fruit salad looks so festive!
It sounds so delicious… I don’t usually use condensed milk with fruit but now you’re making my mouth water. It’s so nice to be Friday and I have time to read and be inspired. 🙂

This photo is stunning Raymund! Sounds like a delicious fruit salad. We used to always have something like this at my Grandma’s – albeit with a lot less exotic ingredients. I like the sound of this one though. 🙂

I love a festive fruit and what I especially love about different asian varieties are the tones and colours (like Malay Ais Kachang,) etc. A fun, festive winner!

Love buko salad! I made this and used lite tropical fruit salad instead. I added a can of sliced peaches and only used 2 tablespoons of the condensed milk. We don’t like it overly sweet. It was a hit with American hubby as he’s not had it before.
