Baram Tales : Ice Cream Fruits




I took this photo in Long Banga. This lovely man gave my friend and I two big ice cream fruits to eat. And he encouraged us to plant the seeds.

He told us that this fruit probably came from Kalimantan from his grand parents' time.

the ice cream fruit tastes like ice cream and should be eaten cold. Very sweet and creamy. May be tht is why it got such a name. Interesting.

He is of Kenyah ancestry but he has been a resident of Long Banga for a long time. He and his family live in a nice bungalow with a very nice garden.
