Anyone knows what is the name of this seasonal tropical fruit? Had it few times in the past but never get to know what is the actual name...
It's sourish with tinge of sweetness... I know, I know.. Some of you might name it as ~ The Ocipala Fruit :)Addendum : Btw, this is NOT apricot nor plum...
Addendum : Thanks to Nyonya Pg and Josh for enlightening me with the name of this fruit, which is known as Buah Kundang in Malay Language and "Lam Na" in Hokkien dialect. The other name for Buah Kundang is Buah Sta' (pronounced as Buah Stak)
hahhaha. chevliu always manage to find strange things for us to see. at first i thought was egg wor!
ReplyDeleteI think it is called 'lam-na' in Hokkien and incidentally, 'lam-na' also means the colour PURPLE....like MISTIPURPLE mia colour lar.

ReplyDeleteHi Chev. Found your blog from Beruang Madu's.
ReplyDeleteThis fruit is known as buah kundang by the locals. Yes, Lam-na is right for hokkien. It's a relative to the mangoes. Now getting rare, and most likely to be listed as vulnerable, or even endangered species soon, if nothing is done to save them.
Emm.....looks familiar but can't remember the name and even the taste.....Ocipala fruit it is! Hahaha
