Rattan fruit. Very sour. I can't dig why wife likes it so much
Littuko / Rattan Fruit
I wrote about some rattan or yantok vines that I spotted roadside in Coron, Palawan a few months ago and some of the commenters on that post mentioned that rattan also has a fruit¦ I didn't know that, and since then, have been on the lookout for rattan fruit.

Rattan Fruit, Calamus manillensis
You will not like the acidic taste of yantok the first time you taste
it, but one thing is sure, you’ll crave for its unusual taste later.
These fruits are available in the market from August to October.
Calamus manillensis
Yantok is a fruit that is not as popular as mangoes and bananas. This exotic fruit is from a vine locally called “yantok” (a variety of rattan) found in jungle forest areas but it is now actually raised in small plantations for commercial sale. It is one of the sourest fruits in the world.
