Sey Moan


These lychee-like fruits were purchased in Koh Kong (15 minutes from the Thai-Cambodia border) direct from the farmer for 2000 riel/kg (a very cheap price).

Notes:

---Jeff---

These fruits have a pleasant aroma, but the overwhelming feature is "tart." Very sour, but very refreshing. Not too similar to lychees, despite similar appearance. Has a large central seed
  • Smell: lightly fruity and flowery. Pleasant.
  • Taste: Intensely tart. Similar to the tartness of the strange orange fruit in that it begins to "burn" your taste buds after a while.
  • Texture: Juicy, watery, somewhat attached to the seed
  • Color: exterior and interior are same as lychee (red and clear/white)
