I really want to try durian, because I hear you either love it or hate it and I'm thinking with my unsualy tastes that I'd like it.<BR/>Hannah | Homepage | 03.12.05 - 10:16 pm | #<BR/><BR/>Hehe interesting conversation in your post. Have you ever thought of letting them try some durians? I would love to see their reactions of that :D<BR/>chek kiong | Homepage | 03.12.05 - 11:50 pm | #<BR/><BR/>Rambutan very hard to find in US ah? How come, so common here in Malaysia.<BR/>mrkiasu | Homepage | 03.13.05 - 12:00 am | #<BR/><BR/>Rambu Tan!

DUH I remember next time.<BR/>Raven | Homepage | 03.13.05 - 1:07 am | #<BR/><BR/>I havent had rambutan for like YEARS!!! The problem is that they do sell it here in the UK but its so expensive. I wanted a mango the other day and they were selling it for £1.80 each! and it was tiny! I bought a papaya once it did not taste like papaya at all and it cost me a fortune too. So it kinda puts me off buting exotic goods coz I know they wont be as nice as what we would get back home.<BR/>Ria | Homepage | 03.13.05 - 2:56 am | #<BR/><BR/><BR/>What do they taste like?<BR/>sweetspirit | 03.13.05 - 6:30 pm | #<BR/><BR/>yummy! rambutan is yummy yummy!! hehe,nasib baik they have it in US, at least you will not be like 'rindu rambutan'..hehe<BR/>yuni | 03.13.05 - 7:56 pm | #<BR/><BR/>I never know the English name of this fruit ... only the Chinese one. I love all kinds of fruits, even durian ... never able to tell my husband what it is successfully.<BR/>Agnes | Homepage | 03.13.05 - 10:47 pm | #<BR/><BR/><BR/>hehe this is interesting conversation. Yea, durian is one thing. Either they run helter skelter or they love it..<BR/>Laura Y | Homepage | 03.14.05 - 2:05 am | #lettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136322664292926774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030019.post-1110992873569814292005-03-16T11:07:00.000-06:002005-03-16T11:07:00.000-06:00we have rambutan tree in the philippines and i lov...we have rambutan tree in the philippines and i love rambutans! i miss them so much! too bad we don't have it here in NJ.i.n.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16971283755468538247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030019.post-1110783043506500262005-03-14T00:50:00.000-06:002005-03-14T00:50:00.000-06:00rambutans are yummy~ but i miss and love: durian a...rambutans are yummy~ but i miss and love: durian and jackfruit! how's that for exotic foods :)dreaming-nekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171161799816439047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030019.post-1110769063782380532005-03-13T20:57:00.000-06:002005-03-13T20:57:00.000-06:00I look for rambutans next time I'm in an Asian gro...I look for rambutans next time I'm in an Asian grocery store.
