“Freshly picked this morning,” the vendor announced with a flourish, gesturing to a basket overflowing with vibrant, reddish-brown fruit. “The best Tampoi in Johor Bahru!” Tampoi. Right here in this bustling market, the name hung in the air, a whisper from a time when the towering Tampoi trees dominated the landscape. This suburb of Johor Bahru, steeped in history, takes its name from the bountiful Baccaurea macrocarpa trees that once thrived here. The Tampoi trees, known for their impressive height reaching up to 27 meters, were a common sight across Southeast Asia, their branches heavy with clusters of edible fruit. The fruit, encased in fleshy capsules that ripen from a bright orange to a deep red, were a staple for locals. They offered a unique sweet and tangy flavor, a taste of the tropics that would linger on your tongue. Although the urban sprawl has replaced many of these majestic trees, the spirit of the Tampoi lives on in the heart of this vibrant community.
