Fruitful season - Bambangan

Here's another exotic fruit from Sabah.
Nope they're not buah ciku on steroids.

This fruit called bambangan is actually a member of the mango family (believe it or not). It is a very popular dessert/pickle among the local people, especially the Dusuns.

Here's the final product. The flesh is exactly like the mangoes, just that it taste a bit more stinging. The white flakes are actually grated bambangan seed (which looks exactly like mango seed).
