A: I am a former chef from Canada, and I worked in Singapore in the 1980’s, we used it in fruit salads, as a flan topping with mangos, pureed and made into a “Fool”, it is pureed fruit folded into whipped cream, sort of a mousse with out the gelatin. Even mixed into rice pudding.I used it once in a sauce for fish, we used to do a fillet of orange roughy with a sweet and sour kiwi based sauce, so I added a bit of dragonfruit chopped fine. It is nice just eaten plain.Taste wise it is a cross between a kiwi, a cantelope melon and texture of watermelon, the small black seeds are not a problem, I saw red and yellow ones in Singapore, they are available here in Canada at local grocery store, but I alway have to laugh when I see someone trying to figure out what they are. And at $3-4 CDN not something you buy on a whim.
