A World of Flavour: Exotic Discoveries at Panzer’s

Step inside Panzer’s, and you’ll find more than just groceries—you’ll find a world of flavour. Our greengrocer is a place of discovery, where vibrant colours, unfamiliar shapes, and intoxicating aromas hint at the extraordinary tastes waiting to be tried. Whether you’re a seasoned chef, an adventurous home cook, or simply someone who loves to eat, our selection of exotic fruit and vegetables invites you to step beyond the everyday and into something new.

We bring in rare and wonderful produce from across the globe, carefully sourced to bring you the best. Here’s a taste of what’s waiting on our shelves:

Soursop

With its spiky green skin and custard-like flesh, soursop is a tropical fruit unlike any other. Sweet and tangy, with hints of pineapple and citrus, it’s often blended into smoothies or eaten straight from the spoon.

Durian

The ‘king of fruits’ is famous for its divisive aroma, but those who love it swear by its rich, custard-like texture and deep, caramelised flavour. A delicacy across Southeast Asia, durian is something every adventurous eater should try at least once.

Cubana

A long, golden fruit with a tart, passionfruit-like pulp inside. The cubana is a chef’s favourite, perfect for making sorbets, drizzling over yogurt, or adding a sharp tropical kick to desserts.

A box filled with small, oval-shaped mangoes, transitioning from green to golden yellow. Their slightly mottled skin hints at ripeness, with some still carrying a dusting of bloom. A sticker reading "Fresh" is visible on one mango, adding a touch of branding. The box’s green packaging features an illustration of bananas, perhaps a nod to the exotic fruit selection.
A plastic container filled with salak, also known as snake fruit. These small, reddish-brown fruits have a distinctive scaly skin that resembles snake scales. Their pointed ends and slightly rough texture give them an exotic appearance. Inside, the flesh is sweet and tangy, with a crisp yet juicy bite. A unique tropical treat!

Snakefruit

Its reddish-brown scaly skin peels back to reveal crisp, juicy flesh that tastes like a mix of apple, pineapple, and honey. Popular in Indonesia, snakefruit is delicious eaten fresh or paired with bold Southeast Asian flavours.

From spikey rambutans to blushing pink guavas, vibrant tamarillos to the elusive mangosteen, the range changes with the seasons, bringing new discoveries throughout the year.

No matter where you come from or what you love to cook, food brings us together. Whether you’re looking for a childhood favourite from overseas, an ingredient for a new recipe, or simply something to surprise your taste buds, Panzer’s is here to inspire.
