Buah means fruit in bahasa Malaysia. So buah engkalak simply means engkalak fruit. Engkalak or Litsea garciae belong to the same family as avocado. I never like this fruit before but started to love it when I was forced to try it 10 years ago. The creamy avocado like taste becomes tastier when you consume it with salt. As the fruits mature, they will turn a bright pink. However, they are only ready to be eaten when they turn a deeper red and the flesh has become soft.
It has been many years back, since my tour of duty to other states and countries, I have missed the creamy engkalak.
