Okay, so I'm going to be, I'm going to review the star
Apple. I've got two of them green one, and the purple variety. I've only had this one before
I've never had the purple kind, so I'm going to compare them and see if they're, you know different at all
I'm actually in a cemetery right now
so
So if you're wondering why like, it looks kinda like, shitty behind me, that's, that's why. I love to like
Do reviews like on the street, like I'm in the Philippines
I'm gonna eat this fruit, but every time I try doing that I get hassled
Just like by a million people while I do it
So I thought, you know I'm going to try to find a place while I'm out today
That's like quiet, and this is the first place. I found. Mind that I'm keeping this kind of like
quiet and
Quick just because it's, uh it's kinda creepy being here, and I kinda like don't know if I'm especially supposed to be
So if uuh, guard comes up and takes me away, that's, that's why
But I'm just going to cut into this guy
now these are also known as
cameto and
milk fruit and milk Apple
In Vietnam they're called breast milk. That's like the name of the fruit is just breast milk
They're called star apples because if you cut them open you see that little star formation there. That's why. They've got these um
dark seeds there. The seeds are like a large watermelon seed
I reviewed this briefly in
my
penang video my penang fruit [farm] video
But now I have like a little bit more time to kind of like think about what it's like
They're really good
They're very sweet. They have no sourness to them at all
which is kind of like a really like sugary like Cotton Candy kind of Flavor
And they remind me a little bit
um
of like a persimmon
I think mostly because of the texture, the texture is kind of like, um, like jelly-like
But also firm at the same time, and as you can see it's like very very milky. It's milky looking
It's also Milky tasting
so nice
um
in terms of Flavor
It's kind of, it's kind of difficult. It's like a little bit like condensed milk
which might be why it's so popular here philippines because
Filipinos here love putting condensed milk like on everything even like on fruit
They like open like an avocado and put condensed milk on it, this you don't need to do that. It already tastes like it
reminds me of just like
Maybe a little bit of like the abou fruit
Which also has a similar taste which would make sense because this and Abou fruit are
related
To both in the sapote family.
Okay, and now I'm going to cut open the purple one. Let's see if it's any different
There's a little star. The texture is a little softer
Well, that's nice. This one I haven't had before.
Has more flavor
It still has like the sweetness and milkiness that the green one has. That's - It's very much similar
It's got like a berry flavor to it, but not like a tart Berry, more like
like Blueberry.
It kinda tastes like blueberries and milk, with some sugar, which is really good, so
Yeah, if you ever come to an area that has this sort of thing pick it up because these are really really nice
but looks like I caught the attention of a security guard, so I'm gonna put my camera away, but
Yeah, thanks for watching
Hey, so gonna keep this really quick because it's morning a lot of people are still sleeping in the park
The homeless problems in Manila is
Yeah it's beyond, beyond words.
This is
Caimito, but I put it in the fridge. I've heard like that's the preferred way of eating it is
chilling it
go
Yeah, that's nice.
Tastes a little bit more like eating like a pudding like a jello or something just to have like the chilled aspect to it
but
Flavors about the same, it's um, I think like if I were to pick this up and eat it again
I wouldn't chill it
Unless it was going bad
Cause it's not, really um
much of a difference or anything. I don't see doing it
but, it would keep longer, and it doesn't taste any worse
Here's the green one
I love these
But yeah, chilled or just fresh as they are
it tastes about the same, but that taste is quite delicious
Yeah, I gotta go, so, bye
