Vietnam Special Fruit - Vu Sua

On our one month stay in Hanoi, we get to tried out not only many different Vietnamese dishes but also many different kind of fruits there. Today, let introduce this special fruits which is originally from Ho Chi Minh city to all of you. This round green coloured fruit are called "Vu Sua" in Vietnamese language which means "squeeze breast" ~ lol... Let me tell you all why they called it like this.

"Vu Sua"
Why this fruit are so special ??? Before we eat, we have to slowly press the fruit until it's soft. It takes few minutes to press it. My daughter enjoy squeeze the fruit. She just loved it!

When the fruit started to turn soft you can see some milky solution coming out ...
How to eat this fruit???
This milk look alike juice taste real sweet .... how to eat this??? lol ~
Easy,...just suck the milky juice first.
After finished drink the juice of this fruit, cut the fruit into half and eat it's flesh.
Soft & juice flesh are to be eaten with spoon.


Don't missed out this "Vu Sua" when you are to visit Vietnam in future okay. It's cheap too.

JLE: Yes, the texture of it's flesh are a bit same like the "buah nona" but it tasted totally different. The juice of this Vu Sua is sweet, milky and thick...a bit like milk. I dont know how to describe it here..make sure u try it if you visit Vietnam in future ok!

You got very nice pictures of it! Lol, I never actually tried it but heard of it. I gotta go back to Vietnam one of these days and try one.

Vu Sua means "breast milk". I speak Vietnamese fluently and I think that would be a more accurate translation.

I'm craving that right now. But I'm also craving Loquats and Jackfruit.
