Thanks for the clue. From what I have been able to find on the internet, I reckon it is phaleria macrocapra. If anyone got more info about how to use that particular fruit, please do not hesitate to let us know, thanks in advance.

In Sarawak Phaleria macrocarpa (Makota dewa) is use like a médicinal drink. You have to cut the fruit in thin slices, let them dry then put in boil water (how long I don't know).

Gouralata (I will answer my Sarawakian friends and send you a personnal message in french)
