Categories: East Asia, Malaysia, Food, Indigenous

“I picked up a piece and put it to my mouth, mildy surprised that the smell didn't put me off in the least. It was buttery, like the ripest, oiliest avocado mashed to the smoothest paste. I tasted a hint of butterscotch, a smidge of avocado, lots of sweetness, and something stronger, unidentifiable but not unpleasant.” Want to guess what South East Asian fruit [1] the blogger is talking about.
