Tropical Delight



Soft hairy spines on the outside
Around an oval or round shape;
A woody seed on the inside.

The colour changes as it grows,
From green to yellow and to red;
And like the flowers of the rose,
The fruits are clustered in a head.

Remove the leathery thin rind;
A whitish fruit just like a grape
With succulent flesh you will find.

The juicy type clings to the seed;
It’s watery and often drips.
It’s the firm type I like indeed
That’s crunchy like potato chips.

Sorry about the picture. I have uploaded the picture again. Hopefully it will work this time. Anyway, it's the rambutan.

Hi flakes,
Yes, it's the rambutan. Haven't you tried the the type they call the "lilee". It's very famous in Penang. It's freestone with withered seed and the flesh is slightly yellowish, sweet and crunchy like ripe coconut.

Hi leoviolet,
It is the rambutan which usually has a soft sweet flesh. However, the variety that I like is the type with a hard crunchy flesh like that of a ripe coconut and is freestone with a withered seed.
