1001 foods: rambutan

I like going to ZZ’s Produce even though it is far out of the way.

Last time I went, it was crowded. I didn’t feel like sticking around until I saw them.

Rambutan.

So I bought a few of them and took them home.

They reminded me of peeled grapes in texture and tasted mildly melon-like. They also tasted a bit like a lychee candy I used to buy. Overall,  I am glad that I procured and sampled this fruit, but will not go out of my way to track them down in the future.

  1. You should try them fresh in their native land. Malaysia/Indonesia or Thailand.
    it is much-much bertter looking, and tastes fresher..
    It’s seasonal, and July would be the best time to come down and try loads of them!.
    In Malaysia, it is sold at RM 4 (roughhly US $1) per kilogram.
