This is the second time I tasted
Buah Jentik (aka Baccaurea Polyneura ...
ahem, u can just ignore the taugeh scientific name as this won't come out in exam. LOL) . My colleague introduced me to this fruit half a year or one year back. The orange-coloured fruits are small in size ~ 1.5 cm in width and 2.0 cm in length.
Buah jentik has hard and brittle skin. If you snap or flick (jentik) the fruit with fingers, the skin or the shell can be opened easily, hence the name Buah Jentik (or Buah jentik-jentik?).
The dark-orange shiny flesh is sourish in taste with tinge of sweetness. And you can even swallow the seed if you lazy to spit it out !! (Hopefully the seed won't grow and fluorish inside your tummy then, as in the midwife's tales). Kkkkkkk....
