2nd time here I am happy with the quality of mango I find at less than $1 for kilo

I was told one can freeze hachiya (astringent) persimmons and when they thaw they won’t be astringent anymore. Is this true?

Anyone know ?

Still here hunting for kutejensis. Bummed the Kesusu were not ripe , but still have seen and eaten some great fruits, my second time to Borneo. Thanks to frank Sekiya in 2003 for inspiring me to come here/ only in recent years did I make it a reality. These new tropical fruit lover elitists like the ‘fit shortie eats’ people act like it’s something new that Borneo is a hot spot for rare tropical fruits when really people like Frankie were coming here decades ago to gather seeds and budwood to bring back to Hawaii. Anyways , I’m surely hooked and will be back for round 3, Kalimantan edition maybe next time

I will say musang king in Kuala Lumpur was some of th best fruit tasting of the whole
Trip. I spent 6 weeks traveling around with my gf who is also into fruits. Anyways, back to musang king. Is it really worth the price ? (Of around $12 per kilo). The answer is yes but the price is definitely high. For me, I really like arancillo in Davao and the taste is similar to musang king , bitter sweet, creamy texture. And price in peak season is only a dollar or 2 per kilo there for the best quality arancillo

We sent seeds back to Hawaii of Durio gravoelns (3 types/ orange , red and even one that was orange and yellow, , graveolens x zibethinus hybrids (2 types, one red and one orange), Durio oxylenaus , couple types of cempedak and, many dabai seed which were  my favorite new fruit for me. Some of the cempedak we ate were very rich tasting, making even a Marang seem not as flavorful, and a jackfruit boring. the cempedak would give off strong hints of butterscotch and caramel , leaving my mouth feeling coated in sugar. Many of these seed will be going into the ground soon at a friends piece of land on the hamakua coast on big island.

I recommend Borneo to any exotic fruit lover and I plant to go back again at some point to eat Durio kutejensis which we didn’t get to try on this trip. Also dabai is a really amazing fruit which I can easily eat a pound or two everyday if they are available. Yet, when it comes to getting to feast on unlimited good quality durian Davao still is top for me

Miri is a fruit mecca
