    Ah Lychee skin is a bit bitter.
    But both are so good...
    Ah my parents stopped buying Lychee, and buy Longan instead. So I voted Longan.

    Longan tastes better IMO but
    Lychee has more meat ! =)
    They're both tasty ^_^

    I love visiting my uncle in HK during the summer because he has a lychee tree in his backyard and I pick it fresh from the 2nd story balcony to eat it on the spot ..... *drooling* so sweeeeet !!!

    Like... the 'pay' skin... the... red... outside skin... I tend to bite it so that it cracks, and then just peel the rest of the skin off... but it's bitter... the longan skin isn't bitter at all...
    But meh both are still good.
    Yeah, longan are easier to peel.

    Why do you bite Lychee skins, just use your nails, its easy due to the "spikes"

    they are both really good. But I like logan better. I love the sweet taste. Lychee sometimes quite sour
