Street Vendor In Manila Preparing My 1st Ever Fresh Coconut

Melanie and I went out to a street vendor for a fresh coconut. This was my first ever fresh coconut like this.

The vendor cut the coconut with a machete as we watched. Then she cut a hole to pour out the juice into a bag. Next she cut the coconut in half and scooped out the soft meat with a thin knife.

Melanie and I drank the fresh juice together and I gave my first impressions.

I am surprised at the mild flavor of a fresh coconut. I have only had the old dry ones at the grocery store. This barely tastes like the coconuts I know back home. It is good and refreshing.

After drinking the juice we also enjoyed the coconut meat. It was very mild tasting as well. But good.
