ask ah laura ...
You mean buah guini...that looks like a mango, never turn yellow, very sour on the inside good for salads right?? Last week, I was browsing through the shops at Lucky Plaza, I saw some of them for sale, 4th floor, escalator up, turn right, past the shop that sells phones cards somewhere before the lift..look around they have them, that include something to dip in. I know this fruit, used to pluck them from the trees when I was young & mistook them for Mangoes..boy!, they are damn sour. The Peranakan's & Malays used them in their cooking & for salads as I had mentioned...I inquired.
Do not know if Tekka sells them, try Geylang Serai market...
Laura have sweet Mangoes, don't believe ask....Mr Palmer & his....ha ha ha

I do not know Kuini till recently when my colleague gave me a slice and i'm astonished. It's better than mango and it's sweet!
She got it from her husband which his friend gave to him. It was then i started looking high and low and google for it.
Thank you for the info. I'll go to Lucky Plaza to try my luck, if not Geylang Serai market.
Thank you halsey02!
Love all the bros here!
I just want to ask po2wq who is Laura and i got the answer from your reply. Hahaha...
You sure you got this right...the thing is damn sour, it is used in salads to counter certain fruits & in cooking as in something sour as in assam fish or?? or canned as in ajar!
This one ?? http://benardcometh.blogspot.sg/2008/08/buah-kuini-aka-kuini-fruit.html
Oh I have just asked, the ripe ones are sweet but generallly they are sour!, Last time, the stalls selling fruits will have them, you dip them into dark soy sauce with sliced red chillies. The younger generation I think do not know this fruit...used to be common in Singapore.

Based on my colleagues who know kuini, it's easy to get rotten and that could be the reason why it's not available in the supermarket and wet market due to storage problem. That's what they say and i do not know whether it's true.
I'll try to get it and verify. Once again, thanks.
Can't remember where I bought it..but it is easy to spot a kuini by its smell..it's sweet smell is a giveaway..maybe can try fruit stall at any pasar
Ya, the aroma is stronger than the mango !
There are more mango trees than the Buah Kuini, the smell is very strong, that was what attracted me to them in the first place, when I was young. Mangoes have a different aroma when they are ripe i can identify the smell from the tree...this one, is different. It attracts a lot of fruit bats too & they help in the fertilization of the flowers. Nparks have not planted any, not that I have seen them, only the common round mangoes.
Now you mention it...I have not tasted that fruit for a very, very long time...next time I go Lucky Plaza I will buy some to eat.
Check with Tonychat..
late 1950s........ ? wah piangzzs leh, grand uncle! can you still climb trees?
oh. the green & thick skin mango with strong small.
NTUC and some fruits stall do sell them sometime (when in session).
Try eating it with "dark soy sauce with cut chilli"

I just came back from Lucky Plaza. I only saw the green mango in some shops, including the salons. There is no aroma.
Based on what i know, kuini do not have the curve, unlike the mango thot all belong to mango family.
Looks like Geylang Serai market is my last hope.
Actually I did not check the fruit, only a glance, sorry,to make you do a trip there...I know what the Buah Kuini looks like. Why are you so interested in that fruit??
I know where there is kuini tree, this was in the 60's do not think the tree is there, same as the one you know...road widening, development..& so forth. I know where there is a good mata kuching tree too....unfortunately that gave way for a road...
