Being a tropical country, Thailand excels in the fruit department with exceptionally delicious sàp·Ъà·rót (pineapple), má·lá·gor (papaya) and đaang moh (watermelon) sold from ubiquitous vendor carts, often accompanied by a dipping mix of salt, sugar and ground chilli. You’ll find more exotic fruits sold in produce markets. The king of fruits is the spiky-shelled tú·ree·an (durian), an acridly pungent delicacy in Southeast Asia. The fruit smells so strong that it is banned from airlines, air-conditioned buses and some hotels.
Other seasonal fruits that you deserve to meet include creamy nóy nàh (custard apple), the Velcro tennis-ball shaped ngó (rambutan), the purplish skinned mang·kút (mangosteen), and the grape-shaped lá·mút (sapodilla)
and lam yai (longan).
Má·môo·ang (mangoes) come in a dozen varieties that are eaten at different stages of ripeness. Some are served green and crisp and taste like apples, while others are ripe and luscious and served in the intoxicating dessert kôw nĕe·o má·môo·ang (mangoes and sticky rice).
