Coconut milk topped with summer fruits

My mom is the one that usually comes up with eccentric combinations in food. So this is all her idea. I simply executed it.

I don’t know how many of you have heard of the palm fruit, that we call Nungu. I believe the English call them ‘Ice Apple’. It’s the fruit of the Palmyra tree, native to South and South-east Asia and looks like tiny flattened globules of clear jelly. It’s got a lot of health benefits, the most obvious one being that it helps combat dehydration in extremely hot places. I don’t have a picture of it right now, but you can just Google it.

And I don’t have to tell you how refreshing cold, sweetened coconut milk is. And to that add golden, juicy, sweet-as-hell mangoes and you get the ultimate summer splash! Oooooo yummm! It’s like being hugged from the inside!
