Salak Fruit

Hello Karlim, I haven't tasted a salak fruit before. I had no idea such a fruit exists but the description from Wikipedia makes me think it could be on my list of favorite fruits. I wonder why this fruits can't be find in Romanian markets. The article from Wikipedia doesn't tell if these fruits could resist a long way to Europe. Is there a special time of the year when salak fruits can be eaten or you can store them for a longer period of time?

I really like the salak. salak fruit tastes sweet, I like salak pondoh, it's really very sweet, I saw your profile, and you are from singapore, whether in your country, there is also a salak pondoh?

I really love salak especially if I made it into asinan Asinan is made from chili with acid agent then mix with some sugar and salt and water then you put Salak into it it is great when you eat it in a hot day

Honestly, this is the first time to know about this fruit. I've never tasted nor seen one. From the way Wikipedia shows and describes it, I would imagine salak tastes like longgan, lychee, and lansones rolled into one.

I like salak fruits too. It is more like this assam paya but a lot nicer. Assam paya are too sour for my liking but salak are sweet in nature. I never see salak tree, maybe I did but I didn't recognize it, but if I'm not mistaken it look like rattan tree. Whether it truly origin from indonesia, I also not sure. There are a lot of Salak here in Sarawak and of course Sarawak borders Indonesia Kalimantan. But I don't care much where it come from. I seldom buy it as it cost as high as MYR7 per kilo. And you know it didn't take much for salak to weight up to a kilo. Too pricy for my liking but if I want to eat it I will just buy it.

I like salak too.Where do you come from karlim??Do you know where slak come from?
