Don't ya love it; no matter how old we get, we learn something new nearly every day! I'll try these if I can find an Asian market anywhere nearby. And now I know how to go about eating one. :o) Thanks!

Very nice, making me hungry, and I don't even like shrimp!

OOOh, I've gotta try those. You've come up with another wonderful composition - the different colors and textures really sing , and the coriander leaves and dipping sauce complete the shot. It belongs in a food magazine. --Stefan

Rambutan - You peel the outer skin by pinching the top side (away from the stem). The inner fruit looks like a peeled grape - with a large seed in the center. Thy have a bright clear sweet taste - similar to a cross between a sweet grape and a pear. I think they are seasonal - I have seen them the last couple of weeks in Asian food markets. Make sure they are red and fresh looking (the hair is softish).

I have never tried rambutan before but I looked them up online and they look interesting so I will try some next time I buy fruit. Love the pic makes me want to eat lol.

I have never eaten rambutan, I know what spring rolls are so I'm pretty sure those things that look like sea urchins are the rambutan. How do you eat them and what are they? The photo is very well done and the food is plated so nicely.
