Mango & Bambangan
Bambangan is a seasonal wild mango that Sabahans love to eat. There are many ways of eating this fruit. Usually, the unripe fruits are made into “Pinasakkan” (steamed) with fish whereas, ripe ones are fried with salted fish. The seeds are usually grated, mixed with the flesh, and eaten.
Boh Tea and Sabah Tea

Durian
Unlike the regular big durians, Sabah has red durians (Sukang) and orange durians (Dalit). These durians are just palm-sized with thin and slightly bland flesh. However, their scent is strong and distinctive, like fermented wine.
