Bon Bon is Vietnamese for  lanzones. The sour version of that fruit is called the Burmese grape or   giâu gia đất in Vietnamese.  I doubt there's any of that fruits in OC. I didn't see anything there before I left home for land of flowing methane with majestic high rises.

Not meant to high jack the thread,  I collected a bunch of Arabic watermelon seeds, date seeds of all kinds and other fruits and vegetables when I was in southern Iraq. When I returned home, we flown on a white airplane chatered by the Fed.  They confiscated anything that was deemed cultural sensative.  Their watermelon is the best and crispy. I love dates. I will check Carrefour for exotic fruits and plamts.
