My Lola’s Makopa tree

By March 7, 2009 Yummy! One Comment

 Today, I had one of my favorite fruits for lunch. MAKOPA!   I like makopa or “tambis” because:

1.)  It reminds me of my Lolo Eddie and Lola Charing and the time when we used to live with them.  I remember that tree being there for as long as I have known them and I have been eating it since then 

2.)    It’s so yummy!  I have my yaya cut it into pieces, put it in the refrigerator, then I eat it alone or with rock salt

3.)  It is color pink 🙂 

Up to this day, everytime I visit my Lola and I see the makopas on the driveway, that means it is makopa season!!!  My lola always gives me…… and when she forgets, I make sure I ask from her so I can take home some FRESH from her tree:-)
