All right, you see those cats over there? That is the symbol of Kuching,
also known as cat city where I am right now
and I picked the ideal location of a hotel that is right across from like this traffic triangle here.
So
yeah, there might be a little bit of background noise.
I apologize for that and what I have today is actually really really exciting. I have
a Rollinia. Check this guy out. It is crazy-looking.
It has got like really – It's a kind of Annona fruit, but it's got like these really long little spines to it.
It has little protuberances on there.
And you see there...
It's a little bit black on some of them. That's something that happens if it gets knocked around a little bit
but it doesn't affect the flavor at all.
That's a completely ordinary thing. What was kind of annoying about this thing
is that this is sold green usually at least here in Borneo because I have been seeing this a lot.
I've traveled all the way across the island from the east to the west, stopping at villages, going to markets and
I've seen this probably like a dozen times, but every single time I've seen it,
it's been green and I think that's normal because this does not last very long off the tree
so what people usually do is they'll pick it green and
so it's still hard and then when people go to the market they pick it up,
they wait a few days and it will soften up, and they can eat it and it will turn like a little bit yellow
but not all yellow like this. It'll probably go bad before it turns completely yellow like this.
This is a rare thing to find here. Very special thank you to my good friend Fabian for taking me around and
helping me find this thing. He took me around
to some stalls like out in the villages where people will go and just sell like fruit
that they're picking in their yard on the street. So they pick it
perfectly fresh, and if people don't buy it, they'll eat it
so they're not selling it for like money making so much
which means you get fruit that tastes a lot better.
You get stuff that's actually ripened on the tree instead of ripened off the tree.
This has the very unfortunate name
Snot fruit. Yeah, that's the nickname for this thing and because like this texture is very like
a little bit more boogery than your standard Annona fruit, so
yeah, hopefully the texture isn't that bad. The flavor however is supposed to be amazing.
See how that is and so it's pretty seedy. It's not too bad. There's quite a few seeds in there.
It's much skinnier than the Annona fruits I've seen in the past.
A lot of times when you look up fruit online, people will
give a description to something. That's kind of like trying to be relatable. The black sapote for example tastes
just like chocolate, looks just like chocolates, just like chocolate pudding so chocolate pudding fruit
but it's not true. With this one,
Everybody says that it tastes just like
lemon meringue pie. I don't know who said that first, but it's a really good description for this.
It's not exactly it though.
I think actually the green one that I had,
that one tasted a little bit more like lemon meringue pie because that one's a little more sour
but it also had a little bit more of a green taste to it. This is much sweeter
It tastes ripe. Like a lemon meringue pie makes sense because it does have like a meringue kind of taste to it.
It does tastes
like that kind of like creaminess to it or almost like a little bit like egg white too.
This is really really good. This is going to be my breakfast by the way,
and I don't have any problem at all with that.
It is like
really really tasty. Comparing this to like other Annona fruits,
It tastes maybe a little bit like soursop, but if you were to suck all the sourness away from soursop.
I mean I've had a lot of fruit on this trip and
this is definitely one, probably the best one that I've had so far if not
pretty close to it. It has like that kind of complex mixture of flavors that Annonas have. It's very sweet
but it has like
very tropical tastes like coconutty, a little pineapple-ly, a little sour, a little
like banana
but all mixed up in like a really pleasant way and with its own kind of unique flavor as well and the texture
despite it being called snot fruit is not that bad.
Maybe if you were to wait like a couple more days, it would be kind of gross
but as it is right now, texture is fine, just like pudding.
And the green ones are not bad. I would say if all you can find are green ones pick up the green ones
I think that might actually be like a matter of preference. There like a little bit unripe tasting, a little bit
but they also have a little bit more sourness to it.
I think like I would definitely prefer
Prefer the one on the yellow ones over the green ones, but
if all I saw were green ones, I would buy the green ones.
Oh god, I can't believe I ate the whole thing
That was delicious though, really really good. There's the seeds. There's a lot of seeds in there. Hey
Yeah, so that was nice, and I'm gonna go lay down now. Thanks, bye-bye!
