Note
What makes Es Kopyor unique is the use of kopyor , a type of coconut meat, often referred to as "frozen coconut" or "abnormal coconut". Kopyor is actually the tender flesh of a coconut that has formed irregularly due to a natural mutation or alteration in the development of the coconut. This flesh has a different texture from that of traditional coconut: it is softer, irregular, and gelatinous, which makes it a sought-after ingredient for drinks and desserts. However, when natural kopyor is not available, "mock" versions of Es Kopyor are often prepared with thickened coconut milk or agar-agar, replicating the texture and appearance of this special kopyor.
