From the glorious durian to little-known tamarind, tropical fruit trees once outnumbered the growers in the kampong. Many of the trees are gone now, save for specimens in Botanic Gardens, eco-farms and neighburhood horticulture parks. Thankfully, the fruits can still be found around the island.

It looks like jackfruit but smells and tastes like a durian. Sellers tout it as ?durian jackfruit?.
Sniff the fruit for a warm penetrating scent. If the nibs are spaced out, then the fruit is ripe.
To open, slit round it and tear it apart with both hands. Eat right away to enjoy its robust aroma and firm pulp.
