Tropical fruits

Durian
The favourite, yet infamous, fruit of Malaysians. It has a very strong pong. Many hotels have "No Durian" signs because of the smell. (I have only tried a Durian flavoured boiled sweet. I didn't care for even that watered down version.) People will spend a great deal of money to get the perfect Durian


Rambutan
This fruit is like a red spiky litchi. I prefer it to litchis



Coconut Stall
The vendor will hack off the top and stick a straw and some ice cubes into the milk. Some people even add sugar.


Mangos
These are sweeter than SA mangoes. Sliced mangoes on ice may be served as desert
