My fave tropical fruits

I was thinking to provide my friends a list of tropical fruits I like and which I tried since I live in Asia. The list is not complete...I only talk about few peculiar ones. 

Which is your fave fruit? :)

Mango. This is the fruit I will eat all the time and with such an awe that you can't believe. I simply love it. I peel off the fruit and I do not bother cutting it if I am alone. I will chew it up like a kid. My top top top fave!

Longans. Kept confusing them with lychees. I never tried these in Europe. It has a sweet taste and it is just good as it is.I like the big ones because the small ones taste lasts for a short time. It is like sleighing... you pull up the sleigh to the top of a hill and then shuuusssh- the pleasure is so short. This is why I advise you, choose the bigger Longans :)))

Rambutan. I confused these ones too with lychees. The difference is not so much the taste but the hairiness. It looks funny and tastes yummy!

Lychees. I had these in several countries now and I like them. It is sweet and I can eat them any time. Tastes like Rambutan and Longan. I don't feel too much of a difference. Maybe slightly sweeter.

Mangosteen. YUMMY!!! I discovered these yesterday. It is mangosteen season in Vietnam and the chef brought us a platter of these at the company. DIVINE! Based on the legend, Queen Victoria offered compensation to the one who brings her this fruit. It is often called the Queen of Tropical Fruits. The fruit itself is the white flower looking one and it is melting in the mouth like a sponge and has a sweet, citrus feeling and a good smelling velvet touch. The peel is quite thick as you can see but it worths trying this fruit. Awesome taste!

Passion fruit or Maracuja, as they call it in some countries. I can eat dozens of these and I am still looking for more. I like the juice, I like the joghurt, I like all that it's made from this. The airline I normally fly to Asia with offers passion fruit&mango yoghurt for breakfast. You can imagine my face :D I forget about good manners when they serve mango, passion fruit or kheer* on a flight. I ask for more or I ask my flight neighbour if they don't have it :D :D :D 

For the ones who would wonder what is a Kheer: this is a mainly South Asian sweet dish made of rice with milk, sugar, flavoured with cardamom, saffron, pistachios and raisins. A divine treat...mainly on a boring flight!

And finally, before I finish this post, I would like to mention that I eat other fruits as well...:) A lot of them. The reason I did not put them here is that they are more common in EU and I have most of them weekly or in season: strawberries, pineapple, apple, pear, plum, raspberry, orange, banana, kiwi, etc.
