Quirky Fruit Guide

Durian - Turian (ทุเรียน): This spiked fruit is monstrous in size and smell! The scent isn’t for everyone, but the flavor is out of this world. Think custard, with a touch of savory onion.

Rambutan - Ngor (เงาะ): On the hairy side, the flesh of this funny-looking fruit tastes like grape, with a sour edge. Separating the flesh from the seed isn’t straightforward either!

Mango - Ma muang (มะม่วง): An incredibly versatile fruit is tart when unripe (green mango salad), and deliciously sweet when ripe (mango & coconut sticky rice).
