What is this Fruit?

Just now my Brother went to pasar malam to buy some fruits.. (His hobby.. XD) Then he came back saying "I bought something that you haven’t been eating for very long~" I was thinking what is that~~ XD Then he show me a plastic bag of fruits~ Eh, really something that I didn’t eat for very long~ I don’t know whether you all see or eat this type of fruit before or not, but it is very common in Sabah, my sweet hometown… I still remember last time used to eat alot because my grandma’s house got this fruit tree besides mango tree~ ^.^ Come come, I show you the photos first before telling the name… =)

Closer look at the bomb.. Saw it before or not? =P

Saw before? Sabah people call it "紅毛荔枝" (Hong Mao Li Zhi) but the actual name for this fruit is "番荔枝“ (Fan Li Zhi).. =) At first I didn’t know it’s english name.. So I went and google a bit on it, and I found out~ XD It is called Sugar-apple (a.k.a. Sweetsop a.k.a. Custard-apple), if you want to know its scientific name, it is Annona squamosa.. =) Very nice fruit, but I didn’t really see it in KL much.. It looks like tiny version of soursop, tastes abit like that also in a sweeter version la~ XD If you have never tried that before and you come across it, should try~ ^^ I remember I used to like it alot… =)
