While living in Singapore we tried some different types of fruit. One of thing I found unusual was when you bought a fruit you'd had eaten before but inside it was a different color. Luckily they tasted the same even if the color was a surprise.

Yellow Malaysian Watermelon |
|
Pink Malaysian Dragon Fruit |
Some of the new fruit we discovered were:
|
Lychee- little like a grape that you peel with a seed |
|
Starfruit- mild flavor, but a pain to eat |
|
Rose Apple- taste like a combo of a pear and an apple |
|
Passion Fruit- gooey with crunchy seeds-- not a fan |
|
Mangosteen- look like a garlic clove- but somewhat sweet and bland |
One thing that surprised me were these white Guavas. I always had pink Guava juice, so to see these were white inside shocked me- but once again- somewhere there might be pink guava's that produce the juice- or are they coloring it so it looks appealing???
These large looking limes were actually like a tangerine inside. So this time the inside was what fooled me.
The last fruit to touch base on is the Durian. This fruit is a delicacy in SE Asia, but to me it smells like sweaty socks and rotten onions. Fred and the girls tried it as ice cream and then Fred got it in a cream puff. Let's just say, based on the smell of his breath I never tried it. Will I regret it after we are gone and I no longer have access to it??- doubt it. You'd have to pay me to try this stinky fruit.
