|  | Local fruits When you are here do try the local fruits. Of course if you are brave enough do try The King of fruit 'DURIAN'. We just love it but it’s an acquired taste. Some say it smell horrible like old socks, cheese... etc.
The smell can be very strong but the creamy texture of the fruits is simply delicious.
Other fruits to try are rambutan, mangoes, mangosteen, jack fruit, cempedak, ciku, papaya and guava. |
