Philippine sweets

Delicacies anyone? Can you guess which one of these two are sweets from my home country, the Philipines? Both are colorful, sweet and looks like candy, don't you think?
The correct answer is.......... the green one on the right. This type of candy is called "macapuno" which is made from coconuts.
What I used to eat when I was small are the ones that are plain white in color. So when my friend gave this to me as a "pasalubong", meaning omiyage in Japanese I really didn't know what it was.
I was not really sure that it tastes good until I tried it. My officemates thought they are good!!!!!
If I would believe what they said then it must be GOOD!!!!
If there is somebody who wishes to go to the Philippines for a short vacation, please try the macapuno and you will never regret it.
