The Pahang Sweet Salak Fruit

The stuff in the above photo is the sweet salak. It is a type of fruit which can be found in Pahang but rarely seen in other places in Malaysia.

The size of the sweet salak is as big as an egg. The peel of the sweet salak is red-brown in colour. It looks like the snake skin which is covered with scales. There are many tiny burrs on the peel of the sweet salak. Be careful when peeling and cutting the fruit, in order to avoid being hurt.

The flesh of the sweet salak is yellowish. The unripe sweet salak is slightly sour in taste. The fruit is sweet and delicious when it's ripe.
