We were given an unknown fruit and we were asked to taste it. At first, I was hesitant because it really smells bad-- an odor similar to poop (seriously).

When I took my first bite, it resembled the taste of papaya thought its texture was similar to an apple. Eventually, since I haven't had breakfast yet, I ate three slices.

This is the mabolo fruit, velvet apple in english (Diospyros blancoi). It comes from the kamagong tree. And guess what, it's native to the Philippines.
