A "cat's eye".
Moar cats'-eyes :).
The mata kuching (literally "cat's eye"), I heard, is a variety of longan, though I dunno how true that is. I also hear it was originally only found in Sibu, though nowadays it is also available elsewhere in Borneo. It is a seasonal fruit available during the fruit season in Sibu, around November-February.

The flesh is usually thin, much thinner than the longan, so you can usually see the seed through the translucent flesh, giving it a cat-eye-like appearance. It is also not crunchy. Tasty and sweet, agreeable indeed :)
