There is a village in Raub called Kampong Bukit Pampong and I wondered where that particular name came from and it turned out that it came from a jungle creeper that bears fruit the size of a motorcycle helmet calle buah Pampong!
It is not a common creeper and can sometimes be seen on the fringes of forests on tall trees, bearing a few disproportionately large fruits visible from afar...
The above 2 pix are from a creeper on the way to Pos Sinderut...
