I do not know the english name for chempedak, but it looks a little bit like jackfruit but smaller and sweeter. It has a very strong smell almost as stinking as durian. To me it smells a little like gasoline if it is not opened. But once you open up the fruit, it doesn't smell as bad.
My mom gave me one medium size chempedak yesterday and I ended up making fritters out of it this morning.
The fruit

I was looking for the English name for cempedak over a month ago, and found out that it's called breadfruit. Bread? How odd.
Chempedak is the same in English, just with an 'h'. Breadfruit is another, related fruit. I'm going to make this tonight.
