EN: To make bukayo
This is the verb for creating that super sweet, chewy, coconut-y goodness that is bukayo. It's a labor of love that involves a lot of stirring (and potential arm muscle gain). When someone says they're going to `magbukayo`, you know you're in for a diabetic-but-worth-it treat. It's the ultimate pasalubong from a trip to the province.
From `mag-` (verb-forming prefix) + `bukayo` (a type of coconut candy).
ROOT MEANING: coconut candy
A very specific verb related to cooking a particular Filipino delicacy.
