We
offer you an amazing collection of ten exotic tropical fruit
to taste. Click to watch the video
of Digby introducing the Jakfruit, a really spectacular
fruit, to fruit tasters.
Enjoy
spending time with local exotic fruit enthusiasts who will
guide you through the menu and entertain you with stories
about the fruit while you eat them.
Learn
about the fruit
You
will learn how to prepare the fruit, what parts to eat and
how to eat them. Some of these exotic tropical fruit are starting
to appear in markets - but many will never appear in the capital
cities, as they are too fragile. They simply have to be sampled
where they are grown, fresh from the tree.
Tempt your tastebuds
Exotic
tropical fruit comes in all shapes and sizes - some are hairy,
others have lumps and bumps or sharp spikes. Often the most
unusual fruit turns out to be the most delicious. Tempt
your taste buds with new and unusual flavours such as the
chocolate pudding fruit and
fruit that tastes like lemon meringue
pie and creme caramel.
What's
on the tasting today?
