In Pangasinan we call it “Al-lagat”. The one shown in the picture is still manibalang. The ripe one usually has a darker red color and it taste sweeter because the manibalang one taste sour. It is eaten raw but not the skin. You can eat it in a way like eating an ice candy.

MM–You just made my day. How could I have missed this post? This is something I have reminisced over the years and never thought Iâ€™ll see this fruit again. To know that it thrives in PI gives me so much pleasure. This fruit was just as ubiquitous as guava and duhat growing up in Cavite. I remember it to be sour and sweet and gelatinous. This fruit conjures up memories. I vividly remember my grandfather coming home with a branch over his shoulder teeming with red, succulent treats. Thank you for bringing back pleasant memories!

Geez, haven’t been reading since the start of the month and I see this. I’ve eaten this as a kid and my mom did call it Susong Kalabao. Some were sweet though and it did taste like star apple. You really bring back memories MM. Thanks for the post.

Another new fruit to try! Thanks MM for bringing that fruit out in the open. I’m sure you’ll dig up more fruits that are unknown to most of us in name or in taste. I’m looking forward to more “educational” weird fruit with a weird name in your future posts. The name carabao teats is rather very imaginative but make a lot of sense when you look at the fruit. Ahhh, the Filipino ingenuity in naming things…
And I love those Limoges plates!

Maayong buntag MM! Salamat diay for enlightening me on this subject. This is just one of the many things I like about your blog, not just the wonderful recipes, but also the fantastic e-tour you give us and for making me a little bit more refined each time. Hahaha…seriously, somehow, I also feel the world opening up to me bit by bit.

I do have a lot of knick-knacks at home, some weird, some simply marvelous (by my standards anyway)obtained during my Pinas trotting years–plus a few countries in-between. Anyway, I just enjoy going back to this post looking at this new-found fruit (for me) resting sublimely on such an exquisite porcelain bowl.

Hi everyone, have a nice day!

Hi DADD-F, Limoges is a town in France known for their porcelain and ceramics, dating back eons. They make everything from restaurant quality plates and bowls to really fine china. Marquetry is the use of cutouts like of different colored woods or marble and put together to create a design. The bowl above mimics or copies the concept of a stone marquetry…
