rambutan and mangosteen

There are so many new types of fruit to try in KL. Lychee, rambutan, papaya, and mangosteen—I love them all, but I am obsessed with mangosteen. I can eat through bags of them.

The one fruit that I do not have a taste for is durian. This strong smelling fruit smells distinctly of rotten onions, which has led many hotels and transportation stations to prohibit it as many find it distasteful. I pride myself in having an adventurous palate, but after one bite of a durian-filled chocolate cake, I had to reach for several glasses of water to try to flush the taste from my mouth. The aroma and flavor are very persistent, so take caution.
