The Queen of Fruits - Mangosteen

After introducing the King of Fruits in my previous post, now it's time for the Queen. I'll try to introduce as many Malaysia's tropical fruits as I can in this blog. ;)

• Mangosteen (山竹 in Chinese Language)
• Known as manggis in Bahasa Malaysia [Malaysia's National Language])
• Also known as the Queen of Fruits because of its 'cooling' properties (compared to the durian which is 'heaty')
• Sweet, slightly sour, juicy
