Daniel works in the consumer electronics industry but hopes to one day own a cafe. Like most Hainanese men, he can whip up a storm in the kitchen and is constantly invited to other people's house parties... to cook for them.

Esther works for a major airline by day, and bakes incessantly by night. Trained as a chemical engineer, she puts that knowledge to good use - by reading package labels to see if it's good for you.

Strange Fruit

By daniel | June 5, 2007

strange fruit

Esther’s colleague passed her one strange fruit to try recently. It’s called the abiu. The yellow, cricket ball-sized fruit originates from the Amazon forest and is not commercially available in Singapore.

Intrigued, we cut it open.

As you can see from the picture, it has long cigar-shaped seeds that are black in colour. Its skin is very thick (like mine!). And the flesh? It has a subtle sweet flavour with the texture of konyaku jelly. Very strange, but tastes pretty nice.
