Rambutans are also plentiful but in Cairns the minimum temperature will soon drop below 20c and the fruits available will change.

Burmese grapes have 3 segments and 3 purple covered seeds with purple covered flesh that is citrusy.Even white skinned Burmese grapes are like this inside.But what about their close relative rambai?

Yum, I love Rambai! I dont care much for the seeds though. Sucking hard to separate the seed from the pulp can get them lodged in the back of your throat!

Got these fruit from the local market today. Are they Rambais? Please concur!

The sign at the shop said they were 'Dau' fruit, and I found 'Dau tien' mentioned on the net for Burmese Grape but the translation doesn't seem right. It was the first time to try these, the flesh was yellow or with a purple coating and the taste was sweet-sour with a lemony flavour. So I feel certain that they are Baccaurea ramiflora, the Burmese Grapes. Thank you.

Yes, Rambais have been in the shops down here since last months. They are considerably cheaper than what you are paying for them up there. Cheers!

Are Rambais (burmese grapes) any good? How are they compared to rambutans which i really like?

I've never ever seen rambai's in thailand while myanmar isn't far from here.

Rambais are nothing like Rambutans and nowhere near as good. They look and taste very similar to Langsats with a kind of citrusy flavour. So if you like Langsats you would definitely like Rambais. I have got them previously from Northern Thailand. Cheers!

Rambais are different but closely related to Burmese grapes and not remotely like rambutans.
