Durian
Famous in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia as the "king of fruits", durian looks distinctive for its large size, strong odor, and formidable thorn-covered rind. The nineteenth-century British naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, described the flesh tastes like ‘a rich custard highly flavored with almonds’.
Rambutan
It grows in almost every country in Southeast Asia, but mainly very popular in Indonesia and Malaysia. The leathery skin is reddish and covered with pliable spines (hence the name, which means 'hairs'). The fruit flesh tastes sweet, a bit acidic flavor very reminiscent of grapes.
Mangosteen
It grows mainly on Southeast Asia, some parts of India and Caribbean Islands. It usually has delectable sweet, tangy, and juicy taste. Mangosteen has red-purple colored rind when ripe and has almond-shaped seeds. Lately the skin is famous due to its perceived ability to cure some diseases.
Salak
It grows on one species of palm tree that has been cultivated in Indonesia. There are around 30 variants, most of which have sweet and sour taste, sometimes has starchy 'mouth feel'. Some species of Salak fruit can be fermented into alcoholic drink, especially the ones grown in Bali.
Well, there are still hundre
