"You may need to do some shopping at the Filipino grocery store if you want to make this. Red kaong is fairly small jellybean-like nut or seed of the sugar palm tree, it's packed in syrup. Nata de coco is a chewy, translucent, jelly-like foodstuff produced by the fermentation of coconut water, also available in different colors, both are needed for this recipe. My Filipino daughter-in-law makes this, it's really good!"
