These are some of the local fruits I managed to
sapu during my last visit back home (to Sarawak).
Buah RambaiThis is not langsat nor duku nor dokong... I dunno the name :( Thanks to Slurp for enlightening me with the name Buah Rambai & Selba for the name buah Menteng/Kepundung (in Indonesia)
Even the flesh resembles langsat. But the taste is totally different. The edible flesh is minimal, and it's sour, unlike the sweet langsat/duku/dokong. (when I say sour, it's really sour...)
Buah TampoiThis is another cute looking fruit which resembles a cute little pumpkin.
Can anyone enlighten me the name? Thanks. Thanks to Slurp & Kristopher for the name of the fruit :)
Thick dark-orange skin with yellow flesh. The taste is unique - Sour with tinge of sweetness.
Buah Isau Buah Isau (which many mistaken as Longan). Buah Isau has thin, brittle shells covered in small bumps. The translucent flesh & single round seed looks exactly like longan, except the flesh is thinner. They are sweet and juicy.
DabaiDabai (black olive) are oblong in shape with thin, edible dark blue-black skin. The flesh is yellow in colour which covers a single, large three angled seed. The flavour is unique. The fruits are prepared by soaking them in hot water for several minutes until softened. Eaten with soya sauce or salt or together with rice. The kernel or nut is also edible. I know
someone loves this. I prefer the nut/kernel than the flesh :P

Hehehe, those are seasonal fruits. Hopefully the fruits are in season when u visit Sarawak :)

thank you ..
SA,
u r mostly welcomed..
u have great companions here since u r not the only one who dunno the fruits :D
dino,
it's not duku langsat loh..
Hehehe...
I get the info from Selba that the fruit is known as Buah Menteng in Indonesia. The other name for it is Buah Kepundung.
cutiepie,
Have to use your imagination liao..
just trying ok, dunno if i ID correctly
1 - Rambai [i]Baccaurea motleyana[/i]
Yes, it suppose to be very sour
2 - Kandis [i]Garcinia spp[/i]
alamak, i think 2. is tampoi (Baccaurea macrocarpa)
i tasted another type called Ucong (Baccaurea angulata) while i was in satok market.
slurp,
wow.. fantastic.
how u find out @ remember the name of those fruits? :)
fruit # 1 = Rambai (also known as menteng/kepundung in Indonesia)
fruit # 2 = Tampoi
Thanks :) I have tasted Uchong too, but i dunno the name of the fruit in the past. Btw, did u get to taste Buah Engkala?
no luck! i was looking for strange fruits to try at satok, only uchong aroused my curiosity.
the trip was further shorten by the evening thunderstorm grrrrrrrrr maybe next time lor.
but i finally tasted langsat susu there (tot i'm not sure they are local or from indonesia), they tastes much better than duku, longkong etc
slurp,
Great, u managed to visit Satok market. The Satok market was opened throughout the Saturday night till Sunday noon :) Did u manage to catch a glimpse of the sago worms in the market?
Langsat susu is sweeter.
I dunno where is the origin too ;)
no maggots *oops* I mean sago worms kekekeke, no pitcher stuffed with rice. see lots of jungle fern (i sampled some at a resturant). also sampled Manok pansoh, umei, they were delicious! of coz also the usual, kolo mee lah, laksa lah, the beef soup noodle was good too! hahahaha
too bad, it rained heavily the whole night.
p.s: oh ya, lugged back home a small bottle of tuak and packet of Bario rice too LOLz
slurp,
LOL at maggots :P
The sago worms are very cute & adorable.. and they are fat & juicy :P
Nowadays we can buy bottled tuaks in supermarket. I bought one bottle when I was in Kuching, but didn't bring back any to Penang.
the second fruit is call Tam Pui or something like that. Donno how to spell. very hard to come by also.
Wah now can see the photos got bokeh effect already hehe...finally putting your 350D to good use ??
kristopher,
yeah, the second fruit is called Tampoi. I get the info from Slurp in the earlier comment.
Thanks :)
sbanboy,
Hahhaha, no woh..
i use my old camera Minolta Dimage Z2 to take those photos. I haven't bought the 350D during those days yet. I took the photos during CNY time.
And I didn't bring the dslr camera when I go back to Sarawak for this current visit too, cos too bulky.. LOL
Wah me too never see thiese kind of fruits before wor... Wah must go bek and U take us there and try la....
wenn,
u gotta visit Sarawak to try out all those, at the correct time too (cos those are seasonal fruits mah) :P
