Weird local fruit..

Dad bought this weird local Sarawak fruit from Kenyalang Market sold by the aborigines that weekend when I am back home...

It has a weird dialect name called 'Tham Pui'... not a very nice name though if you understand Hokkien or TeoChew dialects.. >.<

Dunno the real normal name for it....


You just press it with both hands and it will split to halves..


It has 4-5 pieces, smell & taste sweet and with some juice, but the seed inside is quite big, leaving it with some meat only...


Not bad at all, if you see this in some local markets, can have a try :)

Ah! I haven't eaten this "Tham Pui" for long long time. Almost forgotten its name. They are usually very sweet. I used to swallow the seeds whole too.
