Malaysians love drinking coconut juice. Just the other day, we stopped by at this roadside stall to quench our thirst after a long drive under the hot afternoon sun.
Coconut juice, it is claimed, can cure many health ailments such as gout and lower blood cholesterol too. The coconuts sold at this stall are not just the normal ones. These are the fragrant (wangi) type which are not only more expensive but rarely sold in the city.
You need to be very agile to climb up a coconut tree to cut down the large bunch of coconuts. Some plantation owners use monkeys who are instructed to pluck only the ripe fruits.
Then you need a very sharp knife to slice off the top of each fruit.
Ahh, now to enjoy the delicious juice and eat the soft, smooth meat. However, be warned. Coconuts that are too young have no meat and the flesh of old coconuts are much too chewy!
