In conjunction with VMY 2007 (Visit Malaysia Year 2007), let me introduce some local fruits today. Currently we can get a lot of these in the market.
First of all, DURIAN! King of the fruits. If you want to know more about it, click here to learn more about durian.
We have king, we should have a queen. Here’s the queen of the fruits, MANGOSTEEN. Click here to learn more about mangosteen.
When it’s the season of durians and mangosteen, you will also see RAMBUTAN around. Click here to learn more about rambutan.
Now… Let’s welcome “BUAH TERAP”. I’m not sure what it’s called in English. It belongs to the Moraceae family. I couldn’t seem to find much details about it in English. WAIT!! Finally found it!!It’s also known as “marang”, click here to learn more about “buah terap” or “marang”.
Lastly, there’s another fruit called LANGSAT but I have no photo with me. Forgotten to take them. However, you can see a portion of them in the picture above, see those small round fruits under the “buah terap”? So if you would like to know more about it, click here to learn more about langsat.
Hehehe… See how lazy I am? 😛

MMMMMM I miss rambutan. Very hard to find them here. One store has them but they want $1 U.S. for a single piece.
Allen… why not good? You don’t like durian?
Jay, $1 U.S. for a single piece?!?!? WOW! Expensive -_-“
I prefer red rambutans leh` u? 🙂

Hehehe… Ben, I don’t mind red or yellow as long that it’s “tut hut”.
I thought I’m the only one eating durians with spoon 😛 hehehe…
er.. not to say don’t like.. still eat time once in a while.. but won’t go crazy over it like i used to when i was still a kid
Yes, me too. I’m not that crazy over durians anymore.
