These are all common, obvious fruits, several of which are not even from Asia originally. I feel someone speaking from "the deep end" would have more esoteric recommendations but also very strong preferences about what particular cultivars to seek out -- in each case, but especially for durian, where it's almost like each of its hundreds of named varieties can have its own cult following -- when and where to get them, how they should be harvested, how prime individual specimens should be selected, etc. Guava not very sweet? You just haven't had the right variety of guava fully in season. And so on.
- langfan 3y agoYes. For a simple example, guava with pink flesh inside is very different in taste from the white flesh ones.
- xarope 3y agoOMG, durian, it's like a entire cult following, golden phoenix, sultan (d24), black gold, mountain cat, red prawn, black pearl, king of kings... Speaking of cult following, I once tried a durian that tasted rotten, so I warned my friends accordingly, one who promptly grabbed them and started smacking their lips, going "this is the good stuff". Found out it was the XO variant, which is supposed to taste like it's fermented. Who would've thunk.
- ido 3y agoAside from Guava I knew none of the fruits the OP mentioned, just as a side-note. I think you may be overestimating how common and obvious these are for people not from Asia.
