What is this fruit? Anyone?




Any idea what is the name of the above fruit? It looks like a mangosteen but brown in color. The rind is hard, need to use knife to open it. Size wise is slightly smaller than mangosteen. The flesh tastes something like longan but not that sweet, a little sour. Any idea? This was given by a colleague and I didn't get the name correctly.

Saw that fruit once. I think the lady said something like "Shan lai ci"(Laici hutan?). Not sure whether I got it correctly or not.

Hi Lil Bulb, as we say here, 'search me', ha ha...nope, I too got no idea what fruit it is. Looks like a cikcu to me though.
You have a pleasant weekend and keep a song in your heart, Lee.

My mum gave some to me to try once... very sweet, crunchy and nice. She said they call it "pok pok guo"... cause the sound you make when you munch at it is "pok pok" sound...
