An Exotic Tropical Fruit: Egg Fruit or 鸡蛋果 or Pouteria lucuma

One of my favourite activities when I am overseas is to go supermarket visiting! It is such a joy to roam round the lanes and find something queer which you cannot get back home! I found this unusual looking fruit in Macau -
Description: It had a Green waxy exterior. And felt like a riped kiwi when pressed, over pressing resulted in finger dent marks on the skin. After stripping the fruit, a rich canary yellow flesh was beneath. The flesh resembled boiled egg yolk, with powdery texture and slightly eggy taste. It was very sweet. After eating 1/2 the fruit I felt extremely "Jalek"(Tired of it)! Therefore when you are in Macau, you got to try this tropical delicacies.
