I probably was taken by surprised when my grandniece asked me the Chinese word for langsat. I don't really know the Chinese name for the little, yellow edible fruit with white flesh even though I've eaten it countless time since a child. The species is native to Southeast Asia and for many years I've just known it as langsat; later only to confused it with duku or dokong, the former said to be the Indonesian name for langsat while the latter, a Malay name; according to Wikipedia. Then of course, some people I know do call duku, dokong and if you have eaten langsat and duku before, you'd know that there is a difference between the two.
Now, is this langsat or duku?
