I was wandering about in the Kraton ( royal palace) when one of the palace guards started to gesticulate wildly to me . It took me a while to realise that he was pointing to a star fruit tree. What confused me intially was because he kept saying Belimbing, which meant a small sour green fruit in Singapore. It took me a while to realise that he was refering to the starfruit. So, if you happen to go to the Kraton the next time, try looking for a star (fruit) that is. It's green when it's unripe and eaten with sauce in a salad (rujuk) , when it's yellow and ripe, it's eaten sliced ( lotis).
