Cat S Eye Or Commonly Known As Mata Kucing Fruit
The Eye of the Cat
In the Bahasa Malaysia language, “mata” means “eyes” and “kucing” means “cat”. The fruit is called Cat’s Eyes because when you peel off the skin and expose the dark seed under the flesh, it looks like a cat’s eye.
Peeled Mata Kucing

Mata Kucing trees grow prolifically here in Sarawak and Sabah on Borneo. One of the explanations for how our city of Kuching got its name is that the city started along the banks of the river where many of these mata kucing trees were growing.
According to International Society for Horticultural Science, the mata kucing is actually a close relative of the longan (hence the similar smell and taste). There are 3 varieties of mata kucing fruit which have “warty” skins and a 4th variety which is smooth and most closely resembles the longan.
The yellow-skinned variety has skin which feels very bumpy on the outside, almost like a lychee. This fruit with a large seed pit and very little flesh. When I found out how little meat was on the “bone” of the fruit, I was put off and a little upset at paying so much for so little edible meat. I ended up tossing the rest. - houseofannie.com
