what is your favourite fruit?? for me it's probably a battle between mango papaya and pineapple still can't decide! what makes those 'asian' fruits? the genuine 'asian' fruit would be the Chinese Gooseberries, aka KIWI FRUIT. I think they're alright. but only the golden 1s (there's rather green or gold... cool aye

well, i guess because they don't really grow in europe, and hardly in north america if at all, and this is a eurasian website, so.....

mmmmm love lychees as well. although they're sometimes too sweet and you can end up with really sticky fingers and lips!

What a lovely suit and tie combination. I'm getting a migraine just looking at the guy.
Funny, I never would have pegged the watermelon as being an "Asian" fruit - but I did some research and sure enough - China is the world's largest watermelon supplier (but they originated in Egypt to nourish deceased kings in the afterlife).
Anyway, I'm going to throw in another vote for those Japan pears^. After working in a bubble tea shop for far too long the smell of lychee, mango and pineapples only succeeds in stimulating a slight sense of nausea, and not my salivary glands.

I'm not sure all those fruit are only found in Asia.
China produces oranges.

Hmm.. I thought guava was from south america. My sister loved guava baby food when she was little. She would say "gwaba, gwaba" so cute.
I've never had durian or pomelo Well I love mangos. dried or sliced up with bagoong. Lychees and pineapples, I like them too. ahh crisis... but its mangos for me.

the genuine 'asian' fruit would be the Chinese Gooseberries, aka KIWI FRUIT. I think they're alright. but only the golden 1s (there's rather green or gold... cool aye i always thought they came from New Zealand. i wonder why? After working in a bubble tea shop for far too long the smell of lychee, mango and pineapples only succeeds in stimulating a slight sense of nausea, and not my salivary glands. LMAO. funny funny funny. i almost always order lychee red tea with jelly. back on topic i also go for the japan pear if that's the same thing as the nashi pear. oh and the Japanese Persimmon. Dragon fruit looks very asian, and is quite nice. i also like cherries, grapes and plums, but dunno if they're 'asian'.

i love fruits.. cant pick
when i was younger, i'd def go for mango, but now, they just too messy to eat! haha.. what else, i like lychee - though always paranoid there are worms in them, so have to inspect before eating them, 'dragon eyes'/longan, dragon fruit, mini bananas... is pomelo like a big grapefruit type thing? cos thats what i really like too
actually, i hardly know the names of most of the fruit i eat in english.. !

yah, pomelo is YouZi the cousin of grapefruit.
durian is amazing. i only acquired the tast less than a year ago, so i'm still in the honeymoon period with it.
Eating a messy mango is it's own pleasure, though...
Mangosteen is the queen of fruit. It's too bad mangosteen is hard to transport, because i think the flavor really suits a standard western palette.
waxberries are delicate and sweet... that's a very asian fruit... jujubees, too.
i can't vote for a favorite.

right, here's another favourite which hasn't been mentioned so far- coconut!!!! They're so versatile!!! You get both the fruit and the juice, and you can get it in so many varieties e.g. young green coconut, older brown coconut, roast coconut, coconut chips, grated coconut, coconut milk, coconut cream, roast coconut, coconut flakes, coconut candy, coconut tarts, coconut cake, thai coconut blobby stuff etc. . And then you can use the coconut shell to make cereal bowls too! I also consider coconut juice to be the most refreshing and rejuvenating out of all fruit juices, espeically when it's hot!! although can someone tell me how to define fruit??? because most fruits tend to have a reproductive function, but am i right in thinking that coconuts are used for water and starch storage for coconut trees' own purposes?
