One thing to know before eating langsat (Malay) or duku (Indonesian) is: DO NOT eat the seeds! They're very bitter, that's why you got the bitter taste eating them. Most Indonesians eating it around the seed piece by piece, carefully avoiding biting the seeds. I put the peeled one whole into my mouth, but I bite it just so that my teeth won't crush the seeds. You'll get the full flavour without the bitterness of the seeds. Oh, but I would take out the big pieces with the big seeds, though, to be safe, and eat them separately. And I love duku so much...

Dokong - Thailand Duku, much bigger in size than Duku Langsat - Thin skin, taste-wise it's mixed, some are sour, some are sweet. Bitter seed. Duku Langsat - Is mixed breed of both.

I absolutely love eating rambutan, but I really dislike how the seed's skin sticks to the meat. So, I highly recommend you should try a different type of rambutan in Vietnam. The rambutan you ate in the clip is usually referred to as Thai rambutan. There's another variety called "Chôm chôm nhãn" ( if translated literally, it would be 'rambutan longan'). This type of rambutan looks like it has a buzz cut because the rind of Chôm chôm nhãn has much shorter hair compared to the Thai rambutan. The meat of chôm chôm nhãn is a little crunchy , less watery, and the special thing is seed's skin won’t stick to the meat, makes this type of rambutan 100 times easier to eat. It tastes incredibly sweet and delicious. I've been eating this type since I was a child, and it has always been my top favorite.

Fun fact, there is a flower like pattern on the bottom of the mangosteen, how much petals on that pattern determine how much meat inside of it. Most of it is 5, if you find 6 or even more you are very lucky. 18:29 If you taste a bitter is because you bite the seed.

Malaysian here 🇲🇾 For those who first time eating durian, I have 2 tips for you : 1. Try fresh one (not pre-packed), the packed durian might undergo fermentation process & cause intense taste experience. 2. Try less intense type of durian. Higher the price, the more intense in flavor. Try ‘durian kampung’ type, it’s the cheapest & mildest among durian varieties (but the flesh isn’t thick as high grade of durian)

I was in Singapore last week and I had 4 varieties of durians from Malaysia. I was in heaven on earth. Their flavor profile was amazing. Some had vanilla undertone (red prawn), sweetness/bitterness is more prevalent in some and not in others. The MSW (Mao Shan Won) is called the “king of durians” is very well rounded, the “black thorn”, the bitterness was more pronounced and the D24 was the beginner’s durian. Loved every second tasting those durians.

In Indonesia, the coc fruit (or we called it "kedondong") usually served as "asinan". You fermented it in a water, vinegar, salt, and some grounded chili. Put it in refrigerator for a few days, and voila. It's an amazing dish with very complex flavor.

[@ojol_wibu]

Another fun fact : The mangosteen in my place are very cheap. That fruit is a seasonal fruit, but when it comes to the season, 2 kilos of mangosteen costs between 1-2 USD. Me and my family are loved it. So it's a big win for us. 😂

[@ojol_wibu]

And for durian, I agree that the best durian comes from Malaysia (musang king) and Thailand (durian monthong). The smell is very strong (in a good way), thicker meat and smaller seeds, more custardy, and taste stronger than any other durians. And for the fun fact, "duri" means "thorn" in Indonesia. So "durian" means "thorny". I can easily rate both kind of durian in SSS tier. The yellow jackfruit when over ripe will increase its alcohol content, taste sweeter, more intense and stronger. I'll rate this in SSS tier too. And there's another family from the thorny fruit family called "cempedak" (in Indonesia). It's still the same family with jackfruit. But the flavor-wise and taste-wise, it's kinda extreme. If you love it you'll extremely love it, and if you hate it you'll extremely hate it too. No lines in between.

1. In Indonesia, we eat the 'toad fruit' (Indonesian: kedondong) half ripe as snack dipped in palm sugar (often with peanuts) condiment, and the young ones as sweet preserves. They're both tasty. But my favourite is kedondong juice, into which they add sugar AND a bit of salt. Lovely... 2. Before you slice starfruits (to make stars), you need to discard the 'tip of the stars', the parts where the colours are different. It gives a tart, bitter taste, and might ruin the sweetness of the fruit.

[@kayellai5278]

It takes knowledge to cut a starfruit, that is not the way to cut in this video, it only looks nice with a star shape for decorations. Yup, the 'tip of the stars' must be slice off, it is bitter. Cut longitudinally, hence can cut away the centre and the seed with it. It tastes best with complete bright yellow, not dark yellow, too ripe.

The flesh does not stick to the seed, but is wet. - Binjai Rambutan ⭐⭐: The flesh is sticky, not too wet, sweet and doesn't stick to the seeds. - Sibongkok Rambutan: The taste of this rambutan fruit is sweet and the texture is quite dry.

The strong and complex aroma of durian is a result of a combination of various chemical compounds.

If you like eating cheese and fruit together, you may enjoy it more than someone else.

you need pluck stem on mangosteen for easy open it... and you can use skin from mangosteen as medicinal tea. and price of mangosteen in this season is around 3 kilo per 1 dollar in Southern Philippines becuz of oversupply.

[@AkaGavv44]

8:50 In Indonesia it is called Srikaya

[@humnaset]

In Indonesia we have many varieties of rambutan, one of them doesn't have that woody scale from the seed. They are smaller, greenish skin with less hair, and very sweet with almost no sourness. It's called rapiah (Ru-pee-uh) and more expensive than other varieties. Unripe june plum is one of my favorites. We call it kedondong. You need to peel them thicker to remove most of the green skin, because the skin is more sour and has distinct vegetal smell. Mangosteen, they can also be eaten almost ripe, when the skin still has green color. The flesh still sweet but with crunchy texture. It's a pain to peel because the skin contains so much yellow sticky stuff and it's still hard must be cut with a knife. But for me the result justifies the effort. We have another variety of sapodilla with dry flesh. It's way smaller, less sweet, and very uncommon. It's not that tasty so no one sell it in the market. That bitterness from langsat is actually from its small seeds. We Asians know how to handle the seed in our mouth, and spit it out Rose apple. we have sooo many varieties of it, and some of them are quite good.

[@yhyh9226]

Durian is definitely SSS tier. We call it the King of Fruits while Mangosteen is the Queen. And you missed out on a S tier worthy fruit, the Lychee. It's like a rambutan but better in all aspects.

[@RohmadHidayat-h6n]

Durin F rank

[@Whisker777]

Nope, when you get used to the texture, rambutan is definitely A tier and if you don’t get used to it. Just buy the canned one in Thailand.

[@thegrandlord2914]

In Indonesia, most sugar apple are consumed in form of jam, and it is a very popular jam due to it's delicious and sweet taste. Here we call the sugar apple jam as "Selai Serikaya" or Serikaya jam

[@neoli3610]

Sugar apple smoothie yummy

[@wenderis]

The skin on a rambutan is the 2nd best thing for me. It certainly adds texture, and oh boy do we southeast asian love contrasting texture. Plus, where i come from, the slightly bitter woody taste is well appreciated rather than avoided

[@RANMAJUANHALF-23]

U know why u don't like some of the fruits bcoz u didn't grow eating it when your a kid Bcoz your from west only South East Asians kids growing eating it can say Weather it's taste good or not 😂 🇵🇭🇮🇩🇰🇭🇲🇾🇲🇲🇻🇳🇸🇬🇹🇭🇧🇳

[@widyaniswar]

June plum in Indonesia is called kedondong. We eat the unripe ones and many times to be used for Indonesia fruit salad called rujak where we use the palm sugar and chilli as the sauce OR we will make it as sweet pickles called asinan. In malaysia they used it as juice. We throw the terrible seed definitely 😅😅. But we never eat the ripe ones, will be just thrown. Sapoche, we called it Sawo. Langsat or Duku.. and don't eat the seed! Rose apple or Jambu air, yup it is just an ok fruit 😅 You did a good job to open the durian skin 👍🏻👍🏻

Bởi vì ông là ng Tây, với văn hóa ăn không xương, không hạt, không vỏ, không ăn trái cây xanh,...... mọi thứ phải hoàn hảo, tiêu chuẩn cao nên cách đánh giá có phần hơi thiếu khách quan. Những cái phần mà đại đa số người Châu Á ăn được mà tiêu chuẩn người tây ăn không quen miêng (không được) thì nên hiểu rằng bản thân cái trái cây nó vốn như vậy, để bóc vỏ ra ăn luôn chứ không phải sơ chế cắt gọt cầu kỳ. Hãy biết cách chấp nhận thực tế là trái cây đó nó vốn như vậy và cách ăn đã như vậy trong hàng ngàn năm qua, trước khi nói "tại sao người ta lại thích ăn cái này cái kia?" thì bản thân ông nên hiểu là tại ông khác biệt văn hóa nên chưa chấp nhận được nó thôi. *Thật buồn cười vì những người tây chỉ lấy một số loại trái cây ít ỏi có ở Âu Mỹ mà họ biết như táo, nho,.. để so sánh. Biết vì sao muối ớt, muối tôm ăn kèm ngon hơn không? Vì bên âu mỹ ăn uống chỉ có muối + tiêu nên làm sao hiểu được các loại gia vị kết hợp với đồ ăn nó tuyệt vời như nào. Không phải đầu bếp các ông cũng luôn muốn làm 1 món ăn vị căn bản nhạt toẹt trở nên ngon hơn sao? Trái cây cũng vậy, nó chỉ là chưa kết hợp được với thứ làm nó ngon nhất mà thôi haha

[@radinayudyapatra]

We have sweet star fruit here, for rambutan, there is one called Rafiah which dont peeled of the seed, i use sapoche ( we call it SAWO here) to make fermented drink, and it's so good! For June Plum (we call it KEDONDONG here), we use it as fruit juice or est it with sweet hot sauce made from brown sugar. Come to Indonesia, you will find most of the fruits you've mentioned in the vid. And dont forget to try Snake Fruit, originally from Pakem, Jogjakarta .

[@muhwahid1]

your red guava is not ripe yet😑

[@reyjohngo8930]

I've tried all these fruits and I agree that jackfruit is the best since it has both the quantity and quality all in one fruit plus you can eat the seeds when cooked. You can also cook it when the fruit is young.

[@widecrusher7100]

I think part of the smell of durian, especially in the west, is that they're shipped frozen. When they thaw, the flesh goes a bit mushy and releases a lot more volatile compounds. This is why so many people say it smells bad.

[@kayellai5278]

To improve, they use nitrogen frozen.

[@CoBeTiti]

The image of cóc always induces excessive salivating for me. 😂

I recommend you to try MATOA. It’s a size of jujube, tastes like rambutan, lychee, and durian combine!

[@darthdart3360]

Fun fact: Rambutan is named after the Malay word ‘rambut’ which means hair. I mean y’all can see why it’s named so

[@kentang7777]

I think the reason people eagerly go out to find durian is because it was a season fruit back then. A single durian might not bear fruits each year. That's why we need to take a bite of it because we don't know whether we're gonna have some next year. But now, agricultural technology has become more advanced so it is no longer a matter of whether it is in season or not, but rather how to create durian that is tastier and acceptable to everyone.

[@coolriffs.]

You have to try durian from Malaysia.. they're the best and absolutely beats Thai durian..

I am grateful that my grandma planted many fruit trees around my house, there are banana trees, rambutan, mangosteen, coconut, pineapple, water guava, jackfruit, longan, guava and sapodilla. She's planted it in the past, now her grandchildren enjoy the results, rest in peace my grandma and thanks for everything.

[@ppmywhat]

Sapoche, in Thailand we call it “Lamoot” (ละมุด). I really love it when I was young. But nowadays, it’s quite hard to find in supermarket in Bangkok. You said it smell a bit fermented. Thai people think it smell like drunkard odor. So when Thai people see drunken person, they say that person smell like Lamoot.

[@kimnganlenguyen357]

I have a trick to eat "chom chom" without peeling the "wooden" seed inside, is using your teeth to separate the meat part out with direction up to the "head", a bit waste time but its worth:)) try it. Since I discovered this way to eat it, "chom chom" has become one of my most favourite fruit

[@sistersroomco2790]

Asian love their sour or tasteless fruit which also has that crunchiness being pickled or eat together with dipping condiments... So it's understandable when a not local don't get it why this fruit are still being eaten or on sale... Jackfruit (and same family fruit) and Durian are fruit that can make as various type of delicious dishes... It's amazing... Should try bambangan... A type of fibrous fruit of mango...

[@NuukaYT]

Eating rose apple (jambu air in Indonesia) is like eating styrofoam soaked in water with a hint of sweetness and tart. Another variety called Jambu bol is bigger, redder, and has huge seed in the middle. It taste even more like eating styrofoam soaked in water especially because the flesh is thicker.

[@bajak1985]

Matoa trees are planted a lot for garden and city decoration in Malaysia. Not many people are aware that the fruits are edible.

[@syahrbanu5460]

You should try Matoa. For me personally, it tastes like a combination of longan, lychee, & durian. The outer part is hard and you need to break it to eat the inside. It’s an interesting fruit not many people know.

[@rambutketiak]

In my region, we like to put starfruit or belimbing in a drink. Cut it into little pieces and make sugar water. Combine it and add ice cubes, perfect to drink during hot weather. 8:36 so funny when you said that since in Indonesia we do have starfruit "brother" used in cooking. We call it belimbing wuluh, idk if they're really close in terms of biology classification. Belimbing wuluh is a lot smaller and have oval shape.

[@jimmykurniawan1116]

Dear cheff Kubanoff i think one day you should try asian fruit in their country origin, becausen some time fruit that where imported to europe taste different, and you can find the real taste ( the ripe one ) on traditional market, and more cheaper. Nice video cheff. Thank you. Ps. If you have chance try "black torn" Durian in Indonesia/malaysia.

[@yunaraginda]

0:53 Rambutan, if you are intrested to try it, please do not be discouraged. The rambutan seedskin thing (in jawa at least) most commercial farm selective breed them to have certain chracteristic because old people here, somehow preferes seed skin that peel and stick to the fruit meat (they call it "ngeletek"), and young ppl prefers fruitmeat that just pop off the seed without the wood thing. SO in conclusion not every rambutan is "ngeletek" and meat texture and sweetness varies heavly between varietas. theres big, Very red, very sweet, juicy, mushy meat rambutan, that the fruit meat stubbornly stuck to the seed, theres tiny, yellow green and red skin, firm, crunchy with meat that just pop off the seed, short hair rambutan, etc. hope this helps

[@roberthemedes1064]

Mangosteen is my fave Southern Asian fruit. Whenever I go to the Philippines, I will try my best to get them when they are in season.

[@tung01mj]

Oh my gosh some of the fruit you put in lower tiers are like my die-hard favourite. Not sure if its just your preference or Asian fruit in Vietnam just less rich in flavour compared to the ones from other countries.

[@agustinuscao]

The only video made by a westerner that can open a durian the right way.👏👏

[@HoangNguyen-gx3ot]

In Northern Vietnam, we have a soft kind of guava, small, yellow peel, soft, little bit crunchy, very fragrant and sweet, in my hometown, they call it Ổi Bo (Bo Guava) or Ổi Vườn Nhà (Home Garden Guava), because almost everyone has at least one tree And Bo is the name of the river, next to where they plant the Bo Guava trees

[@KuroLynn]

18:36 If you taste some bitterness, it's most likely because you accidentally bite into the seeds, gotta watch out for that

[@zaax11]

For durian you can smell closly and sorter will more smell If you like to eat harder look for one less smelled Or use something knock on and listening to it sound lower tone will come with soft

There are a lot of different variant for all of these fruits but for Langsat, it’s called Lanzones in the Philippines. We have a very sweet variant for that you can’t taste any bitterness in it.

In Indonesia, June plump is usually called "kedondong". Here they process it as a sweet pickle, you just need to cut it and put it in a jar filled with warm sugar water and let it sit at room temperature for 1 full day. After that you can eat it. People really like this preparation. They choose which still the greenish one.

[@DuniaBaru-mg3mr]

Try cooking fermented durian called tempoyak in Malaysia.. Fry the garlic and shallots in a little oil until lightly browned, then Add the peeled shrimp and fry with the garlic and shallots.fry until half cooked, then add the tempoyak than cook it for 5 minutes.. if you love spicy you can add Thai 🌶️ in it.. done.. this dished called sambal tempoyak tumis udang 😋

Try making juice with star fruit. In the summer months, star-fruit juice on ice would beat water-melon juice - in taste, in aroma, and in color, etc.... I grow up with star fruit in my yard back in Burma. The juice my mom made is what I always remember every time I see those the grocery stores

[@annie_the_little_fish]

About the apples, it tastes different between each of the region. Since the atmosphere and weather in the North is not suitable for these apples, it's usually small and bland. If you wanna try sweeter ones, I suggest you should go to the Southern Central area, especially Ninh Thuận, to try them. You should go between Nov and Dec, it's right on the season.

[@ruliuli440]

Queen fruit price in Indonesia for 1kg is $0,3. Buy $1 you can get over 3kg. And the king of fruit is not durian, but the king fruit is Banana caimuli. Price in indonesia for 1 banan caimuli very cheap around $0,02 for 1 fruit banan caimuli.
