			Thank you Kiwi for this amazing study. I have not tried any of these fruits. Looks like I am going to have to do some travelling.  
 
How bizarre that you are getting so much imported fruit over there. What is up with that? Where is the local tropical fruit supply? Is it being exported? *concerned*

Something I had once, a few months back, was a custard apple.  Really good!  Sweet and creamy.  You don't see many of them in markets these days apparently and my ex's mum was complaining that all the local tropical fruit which was so plentiful a few years ago is now hardly seen.  You can always see grapes, apples, oranges, Cavendish bananas, kiwifruit, etc - all imported fruit.
 
I love mangosteen    rambutan    of course mango (a lot are imported from Thailand and even further away) and papaya.  Here's a custard apple    and longan     Love red dragon fruit (originally from South America I believe)
