He Tried Rambutan For The First Time And Gave It A Perfect 10/10
A First Taste That Caught Him Off Guard
Food and fruit reviewer Kerry Man recently went viral after sharing his very first experience tasting rambutan and his reaction was unexpectedly wholesome.
With over 1.3 million followers on TikTok, Kerry is known for reviewing unusual foods and fruits from different parts of the world. But rambutan, a tropical fruit familiar to many Malaysians, was something completely new to him.
Before tasting it, he admitted he thought his followers might be playing a prank on him. “I thought, here we go,” he joked, clearly unsure what to expect.
From Skeptical To Instantly Sold
That uncertainty didn’t last long.
After his first bite, Kerry paused for a moment before breaking into a smile and saying he actually liked it. A few chews later, he openly admitted that rambutan was surprisingly good.
To take it up a notch, he even added chili seasoning to the fruit, saying it made the experience even better.
A Perfect Score For Rambutan
Despite initially being suspicious of the fruit’s hairy appearance, Kerry quickly changed his mind.
He joked that rambutan looked intimidating at first, but once tasted, it was completely different from what he imagined. By the end of the video, he confidently rated the fruit a full 10 out of 10.
Malaysians Share The Joy Online
Malaysian netizens were quick to react, with many saying they felt oddly proud watching a foreigner genuinely enjoy a local fruit.
Some suggested that he should try opening rambutan with his hands instead of a knife for a more authentic experience. Others recommended eating it chilled or sprinkled with sour plum powder for an even better taste.
Several viewers also found it amusing how Kerry pronounced the word “rambutan,” with many admitting the video made them smile unexpectedly.
Sometimes, It’s The Simple Things
For many Malaysians, rambutan is an everyday fruit. But seeing someone experience it for the first time with such excitement reminded viewers how special simple things can be when seen through fresh eyes.
@trpmsia If he says it’s “rambooten”, it’s “rambooten”. @kerrymann81 delighted viewers, particularly Malaysians, with his enthusiastic introduction to the rambutan fruit. Describing the fruit as looking like an “angry testicle”, Kerry set down his bottle of Jarritos, a fruit-flavoured soft drink, before skillfully peeling the rambutan THE RIGHT WAY. After cheerfully biting into the fruit, he rated it a 10 out of 10. In the comments, many loved his joyful and hilarious delivery and admitted he made them laugh. Those who were familiar with the fruit were tickled by the way he pronounced rambutan. Full story is up at www.therakyatpost.com 🖊️ Adeline 📂 Mel 🎥 @kerrymann81 via Instagram
