Here are the Top 5 Must-Try Fruits in Penang, Malaysia:

Durian
Known as the “King of Fruits,” durian is a must-try in Penang, especially during the peak season (June to August). It’s known for its strong aroma and creamy texture. Penang’s Balik Pulau area is famous for some of the best durians in Malaysia, including varieties like Musang King and Red Prawn.

Mangosteen
Often called the “Queen of Fruits,” mangosteen is a sweet and tangy fruit with a refreshing, juicy flesh. Its purple outer shell encases a white, segmented interior that’s perfect for a tropical snack after a spicy Penang meal.

Rambutan
Rambutan is a tropical fruit covered in a hairy, red outer shell, but inside, it has a translucent, sweet, and slightly tangy flesh similar to lychee. It’s a fun fruit to peel and eat while exploring Penang’s street markets.

Langsat
Small and often underrated, langsat is a yellow-brown fruit with a sour-sweet taste. The flesh resembles that of a grape and is a great tropical treat to try. It’s perfect for hot days, offering a refreshing and juicy snack.

Starfruit (Carambola)
Starfruit is a sweet and mildly tangy fruit shaped like a star when sliced. Its crisp texture makes it a refreshing and hydrating snack, and it’s commonly found in Penang markets and fruit stalls.

These fruits capture the tropical essence of Penang, providing a delightful, refreshing escape from the heat!
