The exotic, sweet confections that Indonesians so love don’t usually follow a meal; there isn’t a dessert culture. Instead, if a sweet ending is needed there is a bounty of tropical fruits to choose from. Honey-sweet mangoes, electric pink dragon fruit, pearly-centred mangosteen and snakeskin salak. Spiky durians are prized for their custardy flesh, if not their pungent smell. Baby pineapples have a tropical acidic zing. And no one could fail to be enchanted by rambutan with their translucent white fruit encased in wild curly red hair.
