This is how Langsat fruits are sale in Kuching.They are everywhere and every coner of Kuching street.Most of the Langsat in Kuching are imported langsat from Kalimantan Barat,Indonesia.
Langsat is local fruits of Sarawak .
Langsat fruits are ovoid, roundish orbs around five centimeters in diameter, usually found in clusters of two to thirty fruits. Each round fruit is covered by yellowish, thick, leathery skin. Underneath the skin, the fruit is divided into five or six slices of translucent, juicy flesh. The flesh is slightly acidic in taste, although ripe specimens are sweeter. Green, seeds are present in around half of the segments, usually taking up a small portion of the segment although some seeds take up the entire segment's volume. In contrast with the sweet-sour flavor of the fruit's flesh, the seeds are extremely bitter.The sweet juicy flesh contains sucrose, saccharose, fructose and glucose.

Azlan,
Bukan minyak saja turun harga.Buah langsat pun turun ke Rm 2.00 dan Rm1.50 sekilo. Langsat Indonesia kurang juicy tapi manis.
sounds similar to what we call lanzones here in the philippines.
I have no idea what these fruits are, maybe I've seen them in Thailand or Burma, but I'm sure I never tried them. I've made a google search and they look beautiful on trees.
Hi JM,
You are right about seen them in Uttaradit in Thailand.This province is known for the largest produce of langsat fruits and once a year they celebrate the langsat festival and the biggest celebration in Uttaradit.
