MO FA KOR



I saw this unfamiliar fruit when I was having lunch with my mum and aunt at a seafood restaurant in Kampung Cina a couple of weeks ago.  I asked the owner and he told me that it was the Mo Fa Kor.  Mo Fa Kor?  Yup, that's the name of the fruit.
I am sure that many Malaysians would have eaten dried Mo Fa Kor.  Look at the packaging of the dried fruit below and I am sure it would ring a bell.

A distant relative gave us this fruit several years ago. Katanya boleh buat ubat. Can't remember the exact usage nor its local name though.
I believe it's called Calabash in English. Our friends in Indonesia call it buah Berenuk.
