Two scoops ($3.20), both coconut — but not the same flavor. Nearly hidden at the bottom of the cup is buko, which contained shreds of young coconut, just as did this buko pie. On top is macapuno, commonly called coconut sport, a naturally occurring variation in which the coconut water is supplanted by additional, softer meat. (Sometimes the explanation is less felicitous.) The macapuno is smooth, and sweeter.
