Upcoming trip to Cambodia and Singapore

Hello
I have a planned trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia and Singapore in June. Any tips of what interesting fruit I should look out for in that season in those locations.
Also where can I find the biggest varieties of fruit/ named cultivars to taste/ collect seeds from... I'm thinking especially of in Singapore. Thank you!

I was born in Cambodia. Came to America when I were teen. Have not come back. In Cambodia, like Thailand, any market has fruits period. It is a tropical fruit paradise. Just make sure you negotiate the price. Enjoy.

Hey, are you by any chance John?
Weird question, but I heard about a John from Arua from Søren and Andrew (Luweero) who collects fruit
Would you be willing to bring some grafting material to Uganda?
I would happily pay/trade

Singaporeans definitely love Durian. Even available at the airport. I’m sure some bloggers and google maps can hip you to the biggest markets.
For example

Enjoy your travels.

When I was in Singapore a couple of times there is a big market right near the airport that sells all kinds of fruit. In July there was rambutan, pulasan, mangosteen, jackfruit and durian.

I remember reading before that Singaporeans eat more durian per capita than anywhere else in the world. I’ve been before and the durian definitely did not disappoint. It’s best if you know where to go as the vendors do take advantage of the foreigners by not serving them the best quality. Durian all over Asia may use this same tactic. I have a friend who lives in Singapore and he told me that Cambodia has musang king durian quality if you know where to go. The botanical garden, gardens by the bay in Singapore is definitely a must visit for any plant lover.
