EN: wax apple
The OG thirst quencher before bottled water was a thing. It’s that bell-shaped, shiny red fruit that looks more like a Christmas ornament than food. It's crunchy, watery, and mildly sweet. Perfect for a hot summer day when you're too lazy to get a glass of water. Just grab a makopa from the neighbor's tree (with permission, of course!).
From Malay 'kopah'.
Also known as rose apple. It's a common fruit found in backyards in the Philippines.
