Banana
Many different varieties, but all are a lot smaller than the South-American variety. Many are used for the daily offering to Buddha.
Taste: Sweeter than the South-American and African ones.
Durian
Has a penetrating stench, but is somehow appreciated as a delicacy. The spike-armored shell is thick and very hard to get through.
Taste: Most Westerners cannot really appreciate them.
Soursop
This fruit can be round, oval or irregular heart shaped.
Extremely juicy and seedy, and hence quite a messy fruit to eat.
Taste: As the name suggests, sour.
Longan
A dark-yellow to brown-red smooth skin. They are somewhat smaller than lychees. The pulp is also translucent white, but the black seed inside is larger than the lychee's one.
Taste: Very similar to lychees.
Lemut (Sapodilla)
Oval shaped fruit brought to South-East Asia from Central America by the Spaniards. The fruit is super sweet and the texture is that of an ultra fine pear.
Taste: Sweet with a hint of cinnamon. Lovely!
