Fruit Of The Hala Aka Puhala Tree
Horned Melon
They taste a bit like a juicy cucumber, but there's so many damn seeds there's really not much to actually eat.
Rambutan
You can find it at some countries in Southeast Asia.. like Indonesia and Malaysia.. It's taste sweet and fresh..
Akebi
Pitaya
Also known as dragonfruit. Really yummy, not always white inside though as some are pink!?
I really do not like this, though. You can find it really often in super markets in south east Asia. It's tasteless to me.
Me too. I really prefer the version that's in drinks instead of the fresh fruit, and that's rare for me to say.

Actually is part of cactus family. Can be tasteless but if grown correctly with right soil and conditions it has a fantastic sweet flavor. Am eating one right now.
In the Philippines the inside is colored pink. Its called Dragon fruit because the outside looks like dragon scales!
That is not a pitaya it is a pitahaya seems familiar but is not the same
Delicious and very mild and juicy. Ate this almost every day in southeast China. Love dragon fruit.
its healthy! called "dragon fruit" here. Blend it with sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, ice and honey..
This is the fruit from the cactus plant. The red-fleshed variety is sweeter than the white-fleshed ones. The seeds are edible.
Don't worry about those seeds. They are easy to digest. Actually they are the best part of this fruit.
