Indulge yourself with crispy and crunchy or ripe and juicy mango; fragrant banana and custard apple; succulent longkong and zalacca; tangy thirst-quenching langsat and mangosteen; sweet rambutan, longan and jackfruit; and rich and creamy durian. Refreshing and nutritious choices abound with several fruit festivals in various locations to experience.
