IM ASIAN AND I EAT ALL OF THOSE FRUITS AND IM PROUD OF IT ♡W♡
Eunie Chuu Sameee -w-
Me too 🙂😊
mee toooo
I love durian and dragon fruit and the seeds of the dragon fruit is edible. No spitting needed. I have some dragon fruit growing in my back yard and the flesh is reddish purple instead of the common white flesh. Can't wait to harvest soon.
lemontea128 Awesome! I love dragon fruit. 👍😁
lemontea128 well I think it is a little pale
dip Timu what's pale?
lemontea128 the taste
dip Timu oohhh I see. The ones I've tried so far are mildly sweet. The ones sold from stores are usually the usual red and white varieties. But there are also named varieties that are hard to find at stores like one called purple haze which I'm currently growing along with other varieties. Purple haze is supposed to be sweet with hints of grape flavor. I'll be able to find out when I get to harvest my first fruit. Hopefully you'll be able to try others with better flavor.
I've seen a few exotic fruit videos, but I'd love an exotic vegetable video
Danae Goliath Scientifically vegetables don't exist. I know, I was surprised to learn that too haha Btw, I hate it when people call a pumpkin or a bell pepper vegetables when they're fruits 😂
Regardless of all that scientific stuff. Most if not all of us will continue to separate the two simply because the wheel works.. fruit is sweet and vegetables are not.
XxScArEcRoWxX1 But pumpkins and bell peppers are sweet though. So are tomatos. Kids hate the word vegetable, don't you think they would eat more of them if we called them something else? "Hey kid here's a broccoli, it's not a disgusting veggie but a flower actually, bon appetit." 😁
I briefly dated a guy who was involved in a mangosteen juice pyramid scheme (Xango). He attempted to bring me on board, then got upset when I explained to him that it is a common asian fruit...then left for the market and brought back some canned and fresh mangosteens...because I am delightfully tactful that way. ;-)
Angie Chan lol
a mangosteen juice pyramid scheme. Now that has to be one hell of a story!
7:24 "If that won't kill ya, the smell will" LOL
I love all tropical fruit. My favorites of course are lychees, starfruit, guava, and Dragon fruit. Yum! 😋
Lol what you call wax apple is what we Jamaicans call Otaheiti apple and we also roasted and fry (sometimes boil) breadfruit and eat it anytime of the day 😋😂
I absolutely LOVE durian and whenever I brought durian candy to school my friends would be afraid to go near me. I'm also a fan of the mangosteen and I didn't know it was from my homeland Indonesia I always thought it was from Thailand.
Yes I'm glad you have like 8 channels and busy all the time, but your videos are the one I always look forward to doesn't matter which channel you upload on haha. keep doing what you doing and never stop!
Pomello: You really can't tell when you've found a nice juicy one. Many are dry and tasteless. If I want a Pomello I go to market where they've taken the fruit out of the rind and wrapped it in plastic. Now you know what you're getting.
Wax apple: Those look a variety of what we call rose apples. I'm not a huge fan, but they are popular with children.
star fruit: There is a starfruit tree at the school where I teach. As soon as this crop is ripe i plan on picking some.
They grow Longans in a small town on the way to Chiang Mai. They are extremely succulent and very popular.
Guavas: To me these are fairly tasteless. The ones here are not pink.
Persimmon: This is one I don't particularly care for.
Mangosteen: is my favorite Thai fruit! Too bad they don't grow these in the U.S.
Dragon fruit: I can take or leave it. I once got a glass of dragon fruit juice in Bangkok. Frankly it was too "earthy" for my tastes.
Rambutan: Very popular. Even after many years I STILL can't pronounce it correctly in Thai! In Thai it is called เงาะ, which is SUPPOSED to be pronounced ngaw.
Jackfruit: I have two jackfruit trees in my yard. Personally I find them to be too sweet.
Durrian: No how. No way.
I love chiku and pomelo. You have to try the pomelos fromTambun, in Ipoh, Malaysia Mike. No bitterness at all- so juicy, sweet and fragrant. Also, the way you say "longan" is so cute 😁
I honestly love learning about things people do or like in other parts of the world I just generally love learning about different cultures
Love, love the video.i love every single fruit you described in the video.
You are the Master if all UA-cam Channels😂So enjoyable to watch!!
Many of these fruits were transported to the Caribbean islands during the colonial period, so they’re common there too. I personally love the sapodilla and wax apple.
"And finally, my enemy, the durian." 💀😂
Jackfruits tastes exactly like Juicy fruit gum
Juicy Fruit gums flavor was actually based on Jackfruit
Yes, but they smell like poo!
sonya brown I think you are confused. The stinky one is durian! Jackfruit smells like heaven! (At least to me.)
I am Chinese and all of the foods that you mention in this video I have ate it all and I have been falling in love with it. Espically the durian, the dragon eye fruit and dragon fruit
There are two different types of persimmon though. Astringent (heart shaped) you eat soft. Non-astringent (rounded tomato shaped) you eat while it's still hard.
I grew up eating star fruit and they were lovely treats my mother would get me sometimes (I live in northern BC, Canada). In the past decade I've also been introduced to the pomelo and it's a nice, citric fruit my family has once in a while.
We grow some of these in Jamaica! 😍 Love them all, would love to try out other I haven't tried... but the Durian is questionable! Lol
5:10 - 5:30 some people that have trypophobia might now want to see it... just maybe .
Yuukinek0 Thanks
Yuukinek0 but too late
Ruki blomst R.I.P. ☹️ I tried
Looks so disgusting/creepy 😐
Yuukinek0, I closed my eyes...
durian is the most popular malaysian delicacy, the fruit is made into a lot of food like fritters, ice cream, chips and SO MUCH MORE. it's even made into a condom 😂😂 bet y'all didn't know that
Vanessa Giang wait it is made into a condom!!?? I am a Malaysian and I didn't know that
The Guy Who Like Camaros lol it's kinda like those banana flavoured(?) Condoms but it's durian
true... XD
Did he just said about the Durian its like "chewing on a gym sock?" 🤣
Dear mike, I know you are really busy with all these channels, but on youtube, the only videos that I waite for is yours. So pls upload faster, specially on mikey chen and strictly dumpling. I need to watch your videos everyday.
you are awesome man.
My teacher introduced me to your videos. Can't get enough
I love them all, Mike. Shall I send you some bread fruit chips? They're to die for
I recently visited Borneo, and came across two fruit I had never seen before: terap and cembadak. They were absolutely delicious. Of course, I had my servings of durian, yummy!
Many of these fruits are also popular in the Caribbean the : the wax apple (aka pomerac in Trinidad), guava, breadfruit, star fruit (aka five fingers in Trinidad), sappodilla.
Dude you have a misconception about the durian. Some people think the durian smells good like me, but some people hate the smell. The rambutan and the lychee and the dragon eye thing all tastes great.
I've honestly never heard of half of those fruits. In central Europe we can get pomelo and kaki/sharon/persimmon (yes, we have 3 names for it) every winter, sometimes lychee, pitahaya (dragon fruit), carambola (star fruit) and guava. We managed to get canned rambutan once. As we talk about fruits, I'm hunting cherimoya for few years now. It tastes like vanilla pudding!
I can’t resist purchasing these at the grocery story. When i visit the Asian market, mainly for candies and sugary treats. I can’t help but purchase mango steen each time
Durian
Dragon Fruit
* Breadfruit
* Jackfruit
Mango Steen
Starfruits
Guava
Persimmon
Mainly only time I get these would be when relatives visit from Jamaica. I always beg for these along with Jamaican apple.
I love so many of these
I'd love to give the dragon fruit a try. It sound delicious!
The lotus fruit creeped the crap out of it. I felt so uncomfortable and had to scroll down during that part. *shudder*
Evangelina A-Ampong Me too I hate any kind of tiny holes clumped together. Gives me the creeps.
we have most of these in the Caribbean..love them all
I love Asian food
Lol I'm Asian but still it's great!good job Chen!Keep it up!
You are braver than I am. The stories of the Durion are enough to deter me! 😂
Michelle Sexton It really depends on the person. Some people love both the smell and taste (like me), some (most) hate it.
I agree, to me durian smell really good and taste wonderful. Some people are genetically unable to smell it or receive a bad smell
Michelle Sexton Walao bloody Ang Mo, don't dare to do anything.
I guess that makes it like cilantro then. Some people love it, some people cannot stand it. I love cilantro, but hate the smell of durian. I've tried it, but I have a rule that if I can't stand the smell of something, I won't eat it.
SkyreeXScalabar same I love durian
they all look glorious!!!!!!!!!!
Funny, none of these were "exotic" to me... but yeah, I'm half Asian & my mom had all of these fruits in the house. But that Durian...the smell I've gotten used to over the years.. yet sometimes it throws me for a loop. Still tasty to me though.
gmoney4980 i’ve never had it because the smell was so bad
Star fruits are native to South America. They were IMPORTED to Asia because they are mostly similar in weather conditions, just like guavas and the jackfruit.
Plus, south americans call the draonfruit "pitaya" or "mandacaru", depending on the region you are, "mandacaru" being primarily the brazilian way to refer to this fruit.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carambola. Star fruit are NATIVE to southeast asia and IMPORTED to south america. Jackfruit originated from India. Meanwhile, dragon fruit and guava, yes they originated from south america
Wax apple helps people to lose weight.
(At least according to my asian country Philippines) Fun fact! I love fruits so much! This video brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you so much for sharing this video Mike! We appreciate you!❤️❤️
I love most of these star fruit, dragon fruit, guava...but the ones I’ve never heard of sound good like those berries...the wax apples. Have to try durian, bread fruit...that yogurt one....
Bread fruit is amazing, my grandmother would normally cut them up and make them into chips, they are reallyy good, hope your able to try it soon, I also love star fruit and guava they are both grown abundantly in my country, in South America
in indonesia we called longan as "mata kucing" means cat's eye because when you open it, the seed will reflect light like cat's eye
I am so amazed. I have a few of the fruits growing in my yard! Let's see, pomelo, starfruit, lychee, breadfruit . . .
I have a huge Guava tree growing in my yard
Clarification: the dragon eye is great because the flesh is smooth and easy to chew as well as how sweet and juicy it is. The lychee tastes the same but the flesh near the core is bitter and only ripe ones are sweet. Unripe ones are sour. The rambutan is a hairy version of the lychee but the seed has an easily peel able skin so when you try to eat the flesh some skin will get stuck to it but the flesh is one of the best as it is like a fruit punch , not only sweet but sweet and sour.
I love a bunch of these, durians (I love the smell too), Dragon Fruit, Chom Chom, and mostly Mangosteen
I live in Florida and I have many of those fruits growing in my backyard because I loved buying exotic fruit trees from roadside sellers.
Yes we are lucky in the south, I grow many of these in the video, plus a few more not mentioned, although I am from Florida, and my family lives there, I live/work in the Caribbean, I have a nice collection, even the hard to grow Mangosteen. this year my dragon fruit vine ( grows on a cactus vine for those that don't know ) has been very productive this year.
I grew up assuming these fruits are Latin or Caribbean because they have always grown on our farm in Roatan
Team LEE-chee for the win
I have all those fruits in Martinique in the West Indies... LOVE IT
In Malaysia we call the Dragon Eye fruit "mata kucing" which translates to "Cat's Eye".. so good 👍
Aishah Anwar I love mata kuching
I've only had persimmons and Jack fruit, but I love them both!
6:06 omg the fruit next to the dragon fruit in the left....I got what those are called but dang I love those so much...we have a tree in the Philippines like that omg they are sooo good
I've eaten 90% of the fruits...
I can't live without litchis! Now that it's becoming summer I can eat them every day.
I love durain. Especially if you freeze them
Want o try some of these love Powells, stardust and dragon fruit.
Love all the fruits but love the dragon fruit the most never tried the wax apple looks good too
I love all of these fruits! I miss some of them because it's hard to find here in California.
i can walk outside and get a bread fruit or dilly right now. my cousin had star apples but my grandmother has guavas. I've eatten more fruits on this list than i expected. i really didn't name them all. wow. thanks for uploading
I used to love starfruit but because the taste is all over the place like you said I stopped eating it. My college campus has a persimmon tree. I need to try the breadfruit!
Jackfruit is the best, it tastes the best, if you like the juicyfruit bubblegum you are going to Love the jackfruit. Sweetsop/sugar-apple and naseberry/sapodilla are very good also. I recommend that you roast your breadfruit first then cut it in wedges then fry it until the sides are golden brown and crispy, awesome with eggs or any saute meat or fish.
The wax apples are known as Otaheitee apple in the western caribbean
since I live in Malaysia and most of the fruits in the video my family have them growing in our backyards. fried breadfruit is just my fave even tho i hate getting the sticky sap all over my good knifes when i cut it open.
Yummmmmm pomelo and mangosteen are the best!!!!!!
Ur comment about how durian should b made into war weapons, haha! I realized that I've tried majority of these fruits, but there are still some that I have not tried yet, such as wax berries and apples, mangosteens, and lotus fruits
You need to try Taiwan sugar apple, they also created one without seeds.
I once had crispy frozen durian spring rolls in Malaysia. Hot and crispy on the outside, but frozen on the inside. They were bizarrely delicious and addictive.
I bet the reason for that is that frozen foods tend to have less of a smell to them, so it's easier to get the taste of the durian without nearly as much as the pungent smell.
chikoo is awesome! especially in milkshakes!
Available in America: pomelo star fruit which is nearly flavorless Logan waxberry at large city Asian markets guava persimmon mangosteen sapodilla breadfruit dragon fruit rambutan jackfruit durian. No there are no commas because everytime I try to voice type A, it types, Karma. I must voice type 100% of the time so just pay no attention to the lack of commas.
Really interesting.
Nobody mentions Jackfruit seeds. It is edible. Just boiled it then the meat inside is soft and fluffy. It is very filling. Probably there are more calories in the seeds.
The wax apple (or tambis as we'd call it here in the Philippines) brings a lot of memories from when every afternoon when I was like below the age of 7, after my nap time, my grandfather would o always bring me to the farm or like to these woods like area in our place and loadsss of those would either be on the ground or on trees. My grandfather would usually just pick like A LOT and then eat it an he'd offer some to me as well, but then my mom would get too mad if he gave me too much
where i live i dont have access to mangosteen and the rest im missing out. Rambutan are so yummy the ones ive eaten are so sweet. but yeah you're right its not as juicy as lychee and longnan for sure! dragon fruit is also nice i find one half of it definitely very filling lol. 😗
I've tried star fruit, percemin, and breadfruit, out of all these fruits
We have a fruit called ohi’a’ai that grows in the mountains. It kind of looks like that wax apple.
I'm I the only one that LOVES the smell and taste of durian? I just love the smell of it, and the taste too!
Im from singapore and the durian basically is our country! We have domes that looks like durians and durians are sold everywhere. The first time you eat it, you wont like it but when i ate it a few days later it became my favourite fruit!
the chiku reminds me a pawpaw fruit looks very similar
I say lychee to mike like you
Your not alone
My grandma's backyard has persimmons and the season was just over
2:52 I I saw that fruit in the U.S at New Ben City Supermarket
I like that was berry and longans they taste really good
龍眼 is great! Speaking as an Asian, everything except Pomeloes is good
I smiled when you said Rambutan looked like a hairy Litschi, because Rambutan in Germany is named "Hairy Litschi". ^^
Chiara Neko LIT-chee?
Well rambutan is actually from indonesia and rambut means hair😂
i love pomelo, in suzhou it is so cheap and best waxberries i have had were in ninghai. I can't find,any decent ones anywhere else
Pomelo is my favorite 😍😍
Alot of these fruits are also found in the Caribbean.
Love Longans, Mangosteens and Rambutans, can't get close enough to a Durian to have ever tried it, have always wanted to try a dragonfruit, but never have.
Also, rind is pronounced with a long i, not a short one.
Is the wax apple similar to the Hawaiian mountain apple. It looks similar. If it is. I would enjoy eating them.
If you semi-freez durian before you eat it, it tastes like icecream and dosn't smell that bad.
I love pomelo, logans, guavas, persimmons, dragonfruit, and jackfruit
Quite a few of these can be found where I live either growing wild or in our neighborhood backyards. And we don't even know the actual names of these fruits so it's funny that I learned the 'mountain apples' that I love so much and literally, do pick off a mountain were called ' Wax Apples' , I feel like how after I learned that product scanners only scanned the spaces between the black lines. Absolutely Shook!
Even worse is that I've been calling that 'Ci-coo(?)' fruit, Chi-co fruits my whole life , and called anything resembling a grapefruit or lychee exactly that.
So, I guess everyday I learn something new! :)
I LOVE LOGAN
My gran used to give me star fruit all the time when I was young. I love it so much but can't find it anywhere as an adult. I had it once 2 years ago and it took me way back. I've searched all the Asian grocery stores and my boyfriend is Chinese. Neither of us can source it in Glasgow. I'll find it one day and I'll be happy once again.
I suppose they grow in tropical countries as well, we have many that are grown in my country in South America, hope you find them again soon
The star fruit is okay I love the sweet one is the best
Waxberries are amazing
Star fruit ❤.
Yoo fruit power
Never seen pommelo sold peeled, but love longan, lychee, rambutan...guava is too gritty. Asian permission is SO much better than American. Never seen mangosteen for sale. The sapodilla I got wasn't ripe. Love lotus seed paste. Never seen breadfruit offered for sale in the US, either, but dragonfruit? I FREAKING LOVE DRAGONFRUIT! I have a few plants, too. I planted a narrow wedge and got hundreds of seedlings. I've only had canned jackfruit. And durian? Uh...OMG. And somehow, I keep falling for it.
There are different types of carambola (star fruit), one is sweet, the other is sour and known as pickle fruit. I've had both, and planted seeds from one and got a lovely little tree.
Mangosteen too
