Is this the strangest fruit you've ever seen? It looks like an eggplant, but trust me, it's anything but ordinary!

Along the Bengal Kalimantan Roadside, there's a fruit that turns heads — the Borneo avocado. Round, pink, and topped with a green 'hat,' it’s known by many names, like engkalak, kalangkala, and even tabulus fruit! Found in the wild forests of Kalimantan, Brunei, and parts of Malaysia, this fruit is legendary in Southeast Asia.
But here's the kicker — while some swear by its creamy, savory, avocado-like taste when soaked in hot water with a touch of salt and shallots, others can’t even stomach it. Some even claim it tastes like soap!
Curious? Dive in and decide for yourself: is it a delicacy or a disaster?"
What's your verdict? Let us know in the comments if you'd dare to try the Borneo avocado!
