My ex is Vietnamese, and she put me up on a lot of good fruit. Gotta go to the Asian markets to get them.

Asian pears are bomb, the fruit op posted is good as hell, there were also these little Orange tomato looking things that were really good too. If someone knows what I'm talking about, post the name... I didn't like Dragon fruit too much... Tastes like watermellon with tiny seeds everywhere and no sweetness. Probably good if you're mad thirsty though. Age used to eat durian. I had no part in it.

apparently its tradition in Vietnam.
