This time, it’s all about fruits! We ended up in a fruit market after an hour drive from Rama Road 🙂 But before the mini “road trip”, we couldn’t resist buying green mangoes from one of the street carts. I bought this not because of the mangoes (quite frankly I like Philippine mangoes better because they are more sour/ sweeter. In other words, they have more “taste”). I bought these because of the spices that came with it. These mangoes (or any other fruits for that matter) taste great with the spices. MmMmmm…. (I am going to buy this again later :D)
Anyway, here are the fruits that we found in the market 🙂
 |
| Lanzones (and I have no idea what they’re called in English) |
 |
| Lychees (which were a little sour) |
 |
| Mangosteen (I honestly don’t recall having tasted these before hahaha. I have poor memory) |
 |
| Santol! |
 |
| Sugar Apple |
 |
| Durian!!! This is my favorite!! |
Durian is said to be some kind of aphrodisiac (hahaha this can’t possibly be the reason why I like it LOL). It smells like garbage, but tastes like heaven! 😀
There are always 5 compartments inside each Durian 🙂 (Or at least that’s what I’ve noticed)
 |
| Rambutan (it tastes like lychees) |
 |
| Lots of mangoes! (For sticky rice dessert hahaha) |
But I have to say this– Thai mangoes can’t beat Philippine mangoes. Hands down, Philippine mangoes are still the best! 🙂
And before I forget, here’s a group photo of my friends and I during my last Bangkok trip 🙂 We had a blast!!!
Thanks CV Travel for arranging the super last- minute trip and making it an extremely memorable one! And now, we’re off to breakfast 🙂 Good morning, everyone!!

I have to agree, Phil mangoes are the sweetest! Hey, that’s my favorite fruit, but I also like sugar apple, lanzones, pineapple, and jackfruit. With durian, I have to taste the “real thing” yet. Durian candy lang ako lagi eh. Hihi.
LOL durian really stinks lol
wow! id love all that fruit!
indeed 🙂 sooo good!
O mai gulay! I’d give anything for some santol right now.
i’m quite surprised that you love durian! coz mostly,people who are not from davao don’t like it.anyway,have you tasted durian from davao? i’m proud to say that we have the best durian! 😉
are they better than bangkok durian? I have had them here in manila, but am not sure if what i had was thai durian or davao durian 🙂
yes, davao durian is better than bangkok durian! for me,the best variety is the native durian. although the arancillo and puyat durians are also delicious.hope you can visit davao during september because fruits are in abundance and very,very cheap. you can even buy durian for 10 pesos per kilo!
WOW!!!!
