I hope you can find some. How about palm trees? If you have them there, this fruit will likely be harvested there.

It tastes like eating coconut meat. I watched a documentary and it is commonly seen in Laguna.

@Shavkat The concept of this sounds like a coconut and the photo looks a lot like it but I can't say I've had this exact fruit you are talking about, the Buli. Looks very interesting and something I would try if I had the chance.

@rhuenz It was introduced to us by my late mother. It is no where to find in the market maybe because it is hard to eat and you need to carry knife in place where you are going to eat it.
