Buah Pisang Kaki
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
My wife came back the other day with a box of fruit given by her friend. I never actually eat this before but it's a sweet fruit, I guess a cross of between an apricot and a peach. Feel like tomato though, it is called the Persimmon Fruit, it's not among the favourite fruit of my family but I have seen many of my Chinese friends do like to eat this often. It is called Buah Pisang Kaki in Malay which literally means Banana Foot Fruit, funny huh....
Do read my other Fruits labels.. Buah Manggis (mangosteen), Dragon Fruit, Breadfruit. 
Stumble It!

Emm.. well I am not sure, the one that I ate was given by a friend of my wife but I do remember seeing it at the pasar malam when I was in Cameron Highland last year.

Hey the fruit looks like a one found in India too but in India I guess not many people know about it. It is a wild fruit, I mean found in forests and eaten by the tribals. I don't know if it tastes the same, but definately looks like the same.
Lovely pictures friend. Very beautiful blog.
