Singapore’s exotic fruits

Singapore’s location near the equator provides the city with a big variety of inexpensive exotic fruits, and of course I have to try them all!

In the top left corner you see the dragon fruit. Despite its name the taste is very mild, and the soft texture is pleasant. On the right side it’s the Rambutan, similar to Lichy but not really, it has a funny hairy shell. Not my favorite, though. There is also a yellow version of the watermelon, not better than the red one. Finally on the bottom left corner you can see the Durian! Called the king of the fruits, and the most famous fruit in Singapore, is the worst smelling fruit in the world! Inside it’s yellow and soft, a bit like kaki. It feels hot inside the stomach when you eat it… it’s very strange but you’ve got to try it to experience the real Singapore! Local people love it… but I’m still investigating on understanding that 😉
