To what extent are you familiar with the above fruit? I bet that local people will easily recognize the above fruit. The fruit, locally known as 'Kembayau" (Pronunciation Cam-Ba-Yaw). Kembayau is a fruit only found in Borneo especially Brunei Darussalam which is widely diversify and Kembayau has special affinity to Bruneian. Good quality fruit have oily yellowish look when the outer skin is removed. Like durian that can reap profit, Kembayau has made it way to every 'pasar tamu' or open air stall in Brunei.
The way to consume the fruit is first rinse and then soak it in slightly warm water until it soften. Season with salt or sugar. What does this dark purple fruit taste like? The yellowish flesh taste creamy and according to one blogger he said that after tasting Kembayau for a couple of times it has a fine flavour with a sort of potatoish flavour. If you have the opportunity to visit Brunei, try just one and you will know why the demand for this fruit is so great..:)
