Rambutan + Lychee + Coconut = Pulasan

The pulasan, or poolasan, Nephelium mutabile Blume (family, Sapindaceae), is closely allied to the rambutan and sometimes confused with it. One of its local names in Malaya is rambutan-kafri (negro's rambutan); another is rambutan paroh. In Malacca it is sometimes called pening-pening-ramboetan.There are numerous tribal names for this species throughout Malaysia.

Black colour = Sweet!

This fruits can seldom be seen in market.The pulasan is a little larger than the rambutan, with fewer fruit per panicle, but appearance and eating quality is very similar. The rambutan has soft spines, whereas pulasan is covered with little rubbery studs and a bit of lychee taste.



Thanks to Malaysia Best, I got to know this fruit and had been deeply in love with it! I bought the pulasan above from Batu Lanchang Market. When I went the next day to grab more of the pulasan, they were gone. To those who haven't try before, I think you've miss out something great!

The Most Treasurable Fruit (for me).....LYCHEES:)))

Well, this fruit is a must for me every year. I just love eating lychees soooo much.
Lychees is one of the fruit that comes in season. Somehow, lychees could be sour or sweet. I guess it depends on your luck. Usually I will only buy the lychees when the season is about to end, it gets sweeter and cheaper;)
The best lychees I've ever tried so far is from Macallum Market and that was three years ago. I could never forget the taste. The Lycheee King were so huge and juicy and they were very,
very, very sweet...Yes, i mean really sweet!!!
There's only one year where I missed out eating lychees due to a very high fever and that was sooo torturing:((( By the time I recover, it was the end of the season already *sigh*
Anyway the picture I took above is from Sunshine Farlim Hypermarket...not that juicy and sweet though. Still, it's good enough for me:)
