I recently came back from Vietnam. I have to say, Vietnam has nothing on Cambodian fruit. In the north they have decent mini-peaches, but they don't have mangoes or durian. Why even try, Vietnam?
Also, it should be noted that Thailand might have many varieties of mango, but almost all are bad. Way too sweet.
Vietnam had a couple of interesting fruit that Cambodia does not, including mini-peaches, weird green things that look like longans, custard apples (i think), and mini-mangoes with flat seeds. I tried a few of each, but nothing was very remarkable. I have a newfound respect for the quality of Cambodian fruit.
Until next time...

Hi, just stumbled upon your blog. I'm an avid fruit lover and love the idea of a fruit blog! I'm surprised that you had such a negative fruit experience in Vietnam, as the fruits are plentiful there, ESPECIALLY mangoes and durians. Maybe you were not in an area where these fruits could easily be found or maybe you were visiting only for a short time and didn't get the complete picture, but please don't base this one experience as typical. Vietnam and Thailand both have fruits that are just as remarkable (albeit different) as Cambodia and should also be appreciated.
