Our hosts took us around the orchard to look at the various fruit trees.
I was looking for fruits. My hunger was leading my weary legs. Energetic victor wasn’t thinking of food at all. He was only interested in pics 
I thought this was a dabai tree. I was wrong I am sure I have a pic of the dabai tree somewhere but I took so many shots of so many trees I can’t identify it any more Anyway the dabai tree at the orchard wasn’t fruiting so the dabai in this post was actually a gift from people to the orchard owners. They were gracious enough to share some with us. Really wonderful hosts.I will remember their generosity and kindness.
This is the Sarawak olive or dabai. It is a tasty fruit unlike most other fruits in the marketplace. How do I describe the taste? I would just describe it as delectable and different.
To eat it, one must either heat in the sun until it softens or as in our case, we warmed it in slightly warm water. Then using a combination of soya sauce and sugar, we let it alone for a few minutes. It tasted great.
This is the olive seed.
The insides of the seed can be eaten too. It is not cheap but definitely worth the money. It is a seasonal fruit. Next time if you visit me and if it is in season, i will treat you to some
Would you like to taste a dabai? Just look at it and imagine yourself eating one. Sorry 
that is the best I can do for you readers hahahahahahaha.
I am salivating already!
hopefully i will have to share this with u some day
Dabai again? I just read about it at Suituapui’s blog this week. Never tasted it in my life! Now I’m looking at your photos and imagining eating them. Hmmm, does not taste as nice as my favourite durians. LOL
jus as exotic though without the poop smell hahaha
Oh I SO miss those! Haven’t had them for years since I’m never around for the season. I prefer them marinated in salt though, that’s how my grandma used to do it and I guess it just became a habit of mine.
i mus try this version of yours. it sounds different and without much to mask the original taste
last time when i was in Sibu, my roomie’s family treated us olive…it tasted weird to me cos 1st time ma…
but i ate it just liddat, without sauce
try it with sauce and with sugar.
I’d leave the seeds for a while till the kernels come off the shell so when u crack it open the kernel falls out & it’ll taste much better! in the meantime while waiting for the seeds to ripen u can play with them like marbles!
i have other marbles to play with
Wah I miss those so much…so delicious…Just kicap chili so great…I want to go back sarawak
come back
Lols, How come you know that i’m not looking for fruits?? haha
u dont really seem to b interested in food and u can well afford to eat considering yr weight
Dabais are called jamun here and they are good for diabetic patients.

i’ve seen buah dabai many times but have not gotten a change to eat any yet!!!
Oh yeah, u look very nice. But the dabai to me is not my secondary fruit either. May be I’m not familiar with it.
