Thus, in Malaysia we called as Sukun.
I bought this fruit yesterday on my way back from my parents' house (Johore). Since it is sukun's season, so you can easily get this fruit especially if you passed by kampung (village) area.

 Well, sukun/ breadfruit chips are ready to eat + tea (teh O)
for my tea time today:) 
Actually, this is the simplest one to prepare.
