  • The choice of fruits in Malaysia is incredibly varied.

  • Although you can buy many in supermarkets,

  • the best price and quality is often found in makeshift wooden stalls along roads

  • Particularly close to Kampong with village areas in the country

  • These are usually the actual local farmers selling the fruits of the season

  • J: Hi, lovely people! C: Hello!

  • Welcome back to our flat in Kuala Lumpur

  • C: We have an array of fruit in front of us J: We do!

  • C: You may be asking, "Why is that?"

  • J: Because while we've been in Malaysia, we've been eating an awful lot of fruit

  • C: Although it is high in sugar, a lot of fruit; I mean,

  • depending what fruit you go for

  • Yeah. I've had to be quite careful. There are some fruits - because obviously I can't have a lot of sugar in my diet -

  • so I can have a tiny little bite of some things,

  • but then the day we went to your uncle's house and had...?

  • C: Cempedak J: Cempedak

  • C: Which I'd never had before. I don't know if I even said that right.

  • J: Cemp...? C: Cempedak. Insert word.

  • J: Sure. We had that. And then I was sick afterwards.

  • Locals love to dip the stripped off fruit flesh in a flour mixture

  • and deep-fry it in oil

  • resulting in a popular crispy tea-time treat

  • while its seeds can be roasted and eaten as snacks

  • much like roast chestnuts

  • So we thought we'd try some other weird Asian fruit

  • "Weird" being obviously subjective

  • if you're from Malaysia; this is just your fruit

  • [Laughing[ But all of these fruits

  • are grown in Malaysia

  • and some of them I've definitely never come across before

  • C: I've kind of seen most of them, because obviously I've been coming to Malaysia since I was like five, so

  • J: Claudia is half-Malaysian for anyone who doesn't know

  • C: So I recognise some of them--I mean, the ones in front of us now

  • I'm sure lots of you recognise, like

  • bananas!

  • J: But they're baby bananas!

  • C: I think they're just this type of banana, but they're really nice; they're really sweet

  • J: So we're going to try the fruit, tell you what we think, and then tell you a little bit about them

  • once we've actually found out about them

  • because we didn't want to ruin the surprise

  • J: Shall we begin with the bananas?

  • C: It's actually not called a banana

  • J: Oh? C: When I bought it, it wasn't called a banana

  • J: Oh, well there we go, then C: But I wasn't sure if that was just the Malay name

  • C: Nice.

  • J: It's a lot firmer

  • C: Yeah, it was really the least exciting one to try

  • J: All right, let's move onto these ones because they're fun-looking

  • C: Rose apple

  • I don't know what its actual name is; we'll have to find out

  • J: They're very beautiful, I have to say

  • They smell like...

  • Actually, they don't smell of anything

  • Maybe when you open them; let's open them.

  • C: Ooo, it's like a heart shape

  • J: It's very pretty. C: Yeah.

  • C: Does it smell once you've opened it?

  • Not really.

  • C: The texture is an apple.

  • C: Oh! It just sprayed in my eye.

  • J: I don't think that is like an apple.

  • J: It's more spongy. C: Yeah.

  • J: I like it because it's not sweet. C: It's not sweet at all, really.

  • J: I bet that's lovely in a salad.

  • J: The rose apple, or Jambu Merah,

  • (yep)

  • is shaped more like a pear

  • Its course and crisp texture

  • and briny flavour has resulted in a lot of Malaysian [?]

  • using it as an addition to the popular local Rojak Buah

  • fruit salad dish

  • J: All right, next thing we're going to try C: This! J: Is a starfruit!

  • Both: Oh, OK.

  • Both: Star fruit!

  • C: Obviously it's got its name because it's got the five sides--five...points.

  • C: Like a star.

  • J: Smells a bit orange-y.

  • J: I've never eaten this before.

  • C: I've had star fruit many a time, but...

  • J: What is this texture? It's very solid.

  • But yet it looks like a...

  • peach.

  • C: I would say it's got like a watermelon sort of texture. It's very watery.

  • J: Well, maybe it's different when you bite into it.

  • J: Oh, it's got skin!

  • C: I quite like it.

  • [?]

  • J: Oh, my God.

  • C: It's quite tangy, yeah.

  • J: It tastes like something that's gone off.

  • C: Maybe this one has. J: But just, only just.

  • This one quite possibly has maybe just gone off.

  • It's a bit brown on the sides.

  • C: It may have been in our fridge for a week.

  • J: The Belimbing is the star fruit,

  • which is another fruit native to Malaysia, with two distinct varieties

  • The first is a light green type that is salty in taste

  • while the second is a mellow yellow

  • with a sweet undertone

  • Crisp in texture, the fruit is said to help lower your blood pressure!

  • All right, which one shall we eat next?

  • C: Thisss!

  • J: Oo.

  • J: What is that? It looks like a pear that has gone wrong.

  • C: It's guava. J: Or an apple.

  • J: A guava! Oh, I've heard of guava before.

  • J: That does not look at all how I expected it to look.

  • It doesn't have a centre point like a pear or an apple.

  • C: This is actually what they put in the--you know the...

  • Oh, what's it called? You know when they sprinkle all that spicy sugar on fruit?

  • J: Ohh, yes!

  • J: They sell cut up fruit with a little powdery thing that you put over the top.

  • And, um...oh, Rojak!

  • I think it's called Rojak.

  • J: Oh.

  • C: But this is a popular fruit to have with it, because

  • J: It's very solid. C: Yeah.

  • J: Bites like a pear. Texture like a pear.

  • Tastes nothing at all like a pear.

  • C: No.

  • J: It reminds me of something.

  • But I want to say cleaning product.

  • C: Is that nice now, without the outside? J: Oh, that's so much better.

  • J: Oh, my God!

  • C: Yeah, it's the outside that's bitter, isn't it? J: Don't eat the outside of this, no.

  • J: The guava fruit is popular in Malaysia

  • for its hard texture and juicy, briny taste

  • Locals love the sweet and sour addition of Asam Boi with it

  • (dried sour plums)

  • C: So far, nothing has really convinced us. J: I'm not hugely excited.

  • J: Right, onto...

  • the next one!

  • J: Papaya? C: Yeah! J: Yaaay.

  • C: You can buy these in England now.

  • But only like in the last, what? Maybe not that--when I was little, you couldn't buy these in England.

  • C: This one's not that ripe, so it will be OK for you.

  • J: Excellent. C: Because it's usually quite a sweet fruit, isn't it?

  • J: Papaya has a gorgeous inside star shape; I really like it

  • c: Yeah, it does, and it has these quite big seeds inside.

  • C: OK, so you don't eat the skin on the papaya

  • J: Good to know. C: Yeah, just to let you know that.

  • C: This one's actually quite ripe.

  • J: It's not too sweet. C: No.

  • C: It's nice.

  • It's got a similar texture to a honeydew melon.

  • But a little bit more...

  • mushy.

  • J: There's more to it, I would say.

  • J: It's the winner from this group, certainly. C: Yes.

  • J: Also native to the tropics of the Americas,

  • this import has flourished in Malaysia

  • with the climate and soil conditions perfect for its growth.

  • C: Hiii [?] J: So, we have our next batch of fruit.

  • J: We have to talk a little louder because we had to turn on the air-con

  • because it's ruddy hot

  • C: I don't even know what that one is.

  • C: I saw it and was like, "It looks like a peach."

  • C: Doesn't it? J: It looks so interesting!

  • C: Looks a bit like a plum. J: It's a plum!

  • J: Here you go. C: Woah.

  • C: That's not a plum.

  • J: No, I've had this before!

  • J: It's like a Sharon fruit. C: Ohhh, yeah!

  • J: Yeah, yeah, yeah? C: Yeah, it tastes like a Sharon fruit.

  • C: Do you like it?

  • J: Love it.

  • J: Moving on.

  • C: This one! J: Oh, God.

  • J: I'm slightly scared of this one.

  • J: We'll just take the side that looks good. C: It might have maggots in it.

  • C: Again, this has been in our fridge for a week.

  • J: We've been planning this video, guys, just so you know.

  • C: I don't like--that last time I cut into, what was it, a little mini eggplant?

  • C: And oh, my God, it was the biggest maggot I've ever seen

  • J: I'm a lot braver than you. C: OK.

  • J: No. C: No. Both: No.

  • C: It's actually quite a delightful fruit.

  • J: Can we get a new one?

  • C: Please take it away and wrap it up in a bag; I'm scared that that's going to implode with maggots

  • J: OK, so I got rid of it. We're safe.

  • Let's make it better. You can choose which of these two we go for next.

  • J: OK!

  • C: Big one.

  • J: That is certainly a big one.

  • J: I've never eaten one

  • C: They sell these in England as well

  • J: I've still never eaten one. C: I think it's related to the grapefruit.

  • C: Yeah, it's not as sweet, and it's got really big segments and you can just eat one whole segment; it's quite cool.

  • J: Oh, OK. Let's go.

  • J: All right, you're sure this is not a fingernail job?

  • J: OK.

  • C: Well, you can try, but...

  • J: Oh, my God! C: Why don't you just use a knife, darling? [?]

  • J: I feel it's a bit like an orange, but it--argh.

  • J: Ohhhh!

  • J: Why wasn't I taught knife skills?

  • J: Oh, actually, I know why: because I cheated on my Food Tech exam.

  • J: Because I cut my finger open and then my teacher did all my cutting for me.

  • C: What are you scared of? J: I don't know!

  • I thought it might just explode in my face at any minute.

  • J: That's not what I expected it to taste like.

  • C: It's like a mild grapefruit taste, but without the horrible acidity

  • J: Mmm. C: I like it!

  • C: See, look, and you can pack a segment up like this

  • Put it in your kid's lunch box and then they can open it and just have one like

  • C: a segment J: Ahhh.

  • C: It may be quite piffy

  • and hard to peel

  • because it has been in our fridge...

  • for a week now

  • J: OK, now, let's move on to one of my favourite fruits C: Ooo.

  • [Silly voices] Fruit!

  • C: Lychees are very thin-skinned J: Yes

  • C: and then you pierce into it and it's like a juicy mess everywhere

  • And then you're like [frustrated noise] and you just wanna eat your lychee, but you've gotta get the shell off,

  • whereas this one it's a bit tougher

  • so once you get your nail through, it's quite easy to just break it off, isn't it?

  • C: It's a bit more rewarding to eat when you're hungry

  • J: It's called a dragon's eye because it's all googly

  • C: It's because it's got a black [screeches]

  • [Slow motion replay of the screech]

  • J: Is it another maggot-y one?

  • [Sadly] C: I don't know! J: Oh, that's not a maggot; it's not moving

  • C: Is that just the seed? J: I think that's just the seed.

  • C: I was going to say - normally, the seed is black

  • C: So inside the translucent, fleshy fruit... J: Inside the blackness [?] is white

  • C: It looks like an eyeball, like looking at you

  • J: It's like perfectly fragrant

  • C: Ah, they are nice. It's very nutty, as well. J: Mmmm.

  • C: Juicy, fruity nut.

  • J: I love these so much.

  • J: The dragon eye, or langsat,

  • originates in Peninsula Malaysia,

  • with an almost paper thin shell

  • the translucent flesh is sweet

  • J: Onto the next fruit, the final lap!

  • C: All right, OK.

  • C: These are all quite weird-looking. I mean, what is this?

  • J: This, we've dubbed 'the potato fruit.' C: It looks like a potato.

  • J: [?]

  • C: And then there's these ones that look also like potatoes, but they're slightly more elongated

  • J: OK.

  • C: And then there's these,

  • J: Yeah, which we thought were a bit like loganberries. We're going to try them; find out.

  • C: They would make good--

  • J: Dragon fruit! C: Oh, yeah.

  • C: That is also your favourite.

  • J: You can buy them with much longer tails, so they actually look like those dragon fish

  • C: Is that what it is? J: Yeah.

  • C: I thought it was dragon because it's like--it's like fire-y and amazing

  • C: And then we've got passion fruit, but we just chose this because it's massive

  • Like, in England

  • J: Yeah, in England they're like this tiny

  • C: They all come like this. I don't know why I've got this habit of chucking the fruit around now, but

  • C: So, let's start with the potato [?]

  • C: We will find out its real name in a minute and tell you.

  • Both: Oohhh...

  • J: Interesting.

  • C: It's like fruit mixed with tar

  • [J: Makes a noise of disgust]

  • C: Dissolves a bit like an avocado does

  • J: But not in that creamy, nice way

  • C: No.

  • J: Shall we try the weird potato fruit in a different shape?

  • C: Yeah. J: In case it gets better

  • C: Hopefully it's nicer, yeah

  • J: Oh.

  • C: Does that cut differently?

  • J: This is the same cut.

  • C: It's slightly better than the potato.

  • J: Yeah.

  • J: And if you were wondering, this was purchased this morning

  • C: This is not one-week-old; this was fresh today

  • J: The sapodilla, or what Claudia and I call the potato fruit,

  • also the ciku, or chiku, or...I can't pronounce that,

  • is an important to Malaysia from the tropics of the Americas

  • You'll find them most in the markets.

  • It's a fig-like fruit with its inner flesh being moist and sweet

  • J: Let's move onto something we both enjoy!

  • C: Passion fruit! J: The dragon fruit! C: Oh, OK.

  • J: So, yes, it looks like this outside - like a dragon.

  • J: And then inside

  • J: Normally, the ones you buy in England are white.

  • But all the ones I've seen in Malaysia so far are purple.

  • C: Yeah.

  • C: But we saw the white one

  • in the store, but I think that was imported from South America?

  • J: Ohh. C: So we obviously get our ones from South America.

  • C: These are the South-East Asian ones

  • J: Although one bad point is this colour does ruddy get everywhere

  • J: It runs like you wouldn't believe

  • C: I just think it's so... J: I don't know why I'm doing it like as a tasting thing

  • J: Like you've never tasted this before. Had it for breakfast, but...

  • Still.

  • C: It looks...

  • Because of its colour,

  • you think it would be like really

  • sweet, because it's almost like an artificially

  • bright colour, you think it's going to have an artificially sweet taste,

  • but obviously it is an actual fruit and it's its natural colouring

  • C: It doesn't taste that sweet, does it?

  • J: Mm, no.

  • C: Like the taste of a melon, but then obviously it's then got the seeds in it

  • C: that gives it that extra bit of-- J: Like the delicacy of a melon?

  • C: It's not got a strong-- J: It's just delicious

  • C: It's not got a strong flavour.

  • J: God darn it

  • C: But as I said: careful, it does sting

  • J: I know, yeah. C: 'K, passion fruit!

  • J: All right, Claud really loves the passion fruit

  • J: I, less so.

  • C: You don't like passion fruit?!

  • J: I think passion fruit's hideous C: Really?!

  • J: I've only ever tried passion fruit in England C: But smell it!

  • J: And passion fruit-flavoured things C: Just the smell of it makes me salivate.

  • C: Woo! I like that zinginess you get

  • C: No, still not a fan?

  • C: I think that's definitely got my dose of Vitamin C in it

  • J: Don't look at my teeth, OK, people?

  • C: Right, last fruit!

  • J: Last fruit, last fruit!

  • J: We think it's like a loganberry

  • C: It's not soft, and we've had this for a-- J: It's very hard

  • C: We've had this for a week as well and I thought it would go softer

  • J: Why is my cutting so bad?

  • [Grunts of effort]

  • C: Oh, it's like a cucumber!

  • J: Wait, did we buy a cucumber?

  • J: Smells bitter C: Smells bitter

  • C: I don't know if I want this to be my last fruit - oh, good, there's some dragon fruit left-over.

  • [Noise of disgust]

  • C: It's gross.

  • J: You have to try. C: No, I--I did.

  • J: You have to just take a little bite. OK, ready?

  • J: I can't even bite it! C: Ew, gross!

  • C: I don't think that's a fruit, darling.

  • C: I think you might have to cook--I think you're meant to cook with it.

  • J: Malaysian fans

  • J: Pray, do fill us in on what the hell that is

  • J: Of course, we couldn't do a video about Malaysian fruit and not mention the [?],

  • its foremost distinctive

  • Durian is called the 'king of fruits' by locals

  • perhaps due to its outer, armour-like shell

  • but also due to its infamous, strong

  • pungent smell

  • You'll need a sharp knife to cut into this fruit

  • and reveal its soft, creamy-covered seeds

  • that apparently taste better than they smell

  • The durian is found during the peak dry weather season

  • - December to January -

  • so we just missed out on trying it

  • Just as durian is the king of fruits in Malaysia,

  • mangosteen is known as its consorting queen

  • The fruit's thick outer skin is a deep royal purple

  • and relatively easy to peel

  • Just beneath the surface is the white, sweet, juicy fruit

  • that comes in segments

  • It boasts a wealth of health benefits

  • such as high anti-oxidant content;

  • immune-boosting Vitamin C;

  • and even anti-inflammatory properties

  • The bright red rambutan fruit is eye-catching.

  • Within its hairy-looking outer shell,

  • is an incredibly sweet and juicy white fruit

  • The Jackfruit can grow to huge sizes

  • and is available all year round

  • It, too, has a spiky, hard outer surface,

  • and softer, stringy flesh within

  • It has a distinctive smell, not that dissimilar to the durian in our opinion

  • but perhaps a little more acceptable

  • In Malay, it's called nangka

  • (Sorry)

  • And just like the cempedak, it can be eaten raw

  • or dipped in flour and deep-fried as a snack

  • J: Good times! C: Anyway!

  • C: So I hoped you liked some stuff from this video

  • C: We did. J: Very informative!

  • J: If you're new here and you have enjoyed this video,

  • then Claudia and I make other humorous videos

  • Mainly just we make arses of ourselves and you laugh at it

  • C: We also do the really nice, beautiful videos

  • J: Oh, we do, we also make lovely videos

  • and sweet ones, and informative ones!

  • And...sometimes they're just about the dogs

  • J: Also, if I come across some durian or Jackfruit,

  • that I do need to taste,

  • even though I really don't want to,

  • we will put that in the weekly vlog, so make sure that you tune in on Sundays

  • for those weekly updates!

  • C: Bye!

The choice of fruits in Malaysia is incredibly varied.
