Tarap – A Tarapgasmic Fruit from Borneo – Now My Favorite!

Yes, I have Tarapgasms when I consume this local Sabahan fruit. No, I don’t climax with a fluid-spurting outcome! I get taste orgasms. I don’t know why West Malaysians haven’t been introduced to this heavenly fruit. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
Some of my Sabahan friends commented that their West Malaysian counterparts think that Tarap are for monkeys only – a very condescending statement but can you blame them for the shallow education system received in Malaysia?
I wonder if I can start a Tarap import business here. If an anti-durian person like me love the fruit and rank it ahead of Jackfruit and slightly ahead of Cempedak, I can’t see why not it won’t be a success.
Anyone in Sabah want to work with me on this? I’m serious!
