Rose Apple or Malay Apple?

>> Thursday, January 28, 2010

The Scientific name of this fruit is Syzygium Samarangense, but its common English names are rose apple and Malay apple. In my native province, this tropical fruit is called tambis, but in Tagalog, they call this Makopa.


Whatever you call this pink fruit, I can remember good memories everytime I see them. Yes, memories of early summer when I was just fourteen and still studying high school.



I would pick some of these fruits from my Uncle Sammy's front yard after lunch, then munch them up on my way back to school. They could be watery and sweet, so I sometimes ate them with rock salt. Hayyy.. I missed high school already!
