This is very similar to our lanzones here in the Philippines. I especially love the flesh but the bitter pit gets in the way. The smaller ones don’t have the seeds developed yet that’s why they’re the best ones to eat.

I just saw some guy selling these by the airport yesterday. I was surprised they have it too here. I guess same things grow at all over southeast asia.

I don’t really dig it either. They are so small and I always get the bitter seed. But I am happy for you! Duku season!

Goodness gracious me, how on earth did you get hold of dukus? I haven’t seen them in donkey years. See mostly duku langsat these days. Not fond of duku at all, I always seem to end up with the sour ones.

Oooo I just had this last week, I like. I think I may have mistakenly called it chiku all along… now I learn a new (proper) name for this tropical delight
