The choice of fruits in Malaysia is incredibly varied.

Transition words & phrases

Although you can buy many in supermarkets,

Basic passive voice

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

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

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,

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

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

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

resulting in a popular crispy tea-time treat

while its seeds can be roasted and eaten as snacks

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

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

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

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

because we didn't want to ruin the surprise

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

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

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

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

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

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

using it as an addition to the popular local Rojak Buah

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

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

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

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

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: 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.

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

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

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

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