I have two tubs in my fridge (D24) and completely forgotten about them. I think I will eat them later

sorry to go off topic a bit, but in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago I had a fruit that I've never tried before and I dont know what it is. It was kind of bell-shaped, deep red color skin, kind of like apple skin, nice aroma, white, crispy, juicy flesh with no noticeable seeds. About the size of a small pear. Anyone got any ideas what it was?

I quite like durian, in small doses, very infrequently.

These? They're called Java Apples, Wax Apples or Jambuses.

That's it! I was surprised to find something in Hong Kong that hasn't been exported around the globe. I've never seen them anywhere in Europe.

malaysian durians are awesome, but my fav fruit is still the honey melon from afghanistan. Japanese honey melons are way way way way way way way way way way way way overpriced and doesnt even taste as good.

Not only do I live in Singapore but I live in the Geylang area which is known for two things, the Red Light District (not very interesting if you've lived in Amsterdam) and Durians! There's nothing better than a Friday evening eating durian, sitting on the balcony with my favourite music on, looking at the action below.

You cannot deny this. If you haven't tried one yet, go to your local oriental supermarket and buy one NOW. And how does one find them stinky? Its smell is one of the draws although I guess I'm used to it seeing as how I grew up eating it (asian, I am)
Dude.

Everyone knows cherries are the best fruit ever.

I think the smell is by person basis. Asian or not. It seems half my family deals with it fine and the other half hates it. I grew up liking it but my brother hates it. Everyone says it smells but I don't think so at all. Its the best, but I may like jack fruit a bit more.

No. No. No.

Noone ever gets this. Apples are the best.

You can make applepie with a few apples. And I love applepie. Not as much as I love cheese. But I love it either way.

Applepie. Hmmm

A rich friend once treated me to some notorious Japanese breed of grapes called Kyoho and they were awesome: very sweet and tender, and had an indescribable aroma that you only find in candies. A few grapes can cost as much as a proper meal, however.

The Japanese have also developed many renowned (and expensive) breeds of strawberries too.
