I've never seen that star apple fruit, need to try that one. Have you tried the queen, mangosteen? That is my go to "candy fruit", it's so sweet and satisfying.
I'm exited for you, that you still haven't had your first durian, first time I had durian my mind was blown from the complex tastes and "unfruity" texture, It's definetly something out of this world. You really have something to look forward to, planing to go to Asia any time soon?
I have never had mangosteen either. I definitely want to go to Asian soon.
I'll definitely go back, maybe I'll see you there some time ;)
I've been to Philippines, Davao and Samal island - Love the country and its fruits! A very underrated country to visit, I might come back for next durian season ;)
