Milk Fruit, Ho Chi Minh

We were specifically asked to look out for and try the milk fruit while in the city. It looks pretty much like a guava and you eat it by cutting it in half and scooping it out with a spoon. The texture was a little like that of a slightly ripe persimmon, slightly spongy, but the taste was mild and sweet and each scoop leads to a slight oozing of a white watery substance pretty much like milk. It had great slurp value for sure! But the slight bitter aftertaste took a bit of getting used to.
