Questions about Thai pumpkins!

Help!

Which squash in particular is fak tong?? Kabocha?? 

How does it taste like?? Is it super duper hard to cut?? Also is it sweet and fattening?? I mean, just steaming it!! 

I LOOOOVE pumpkins!!!

Fak thong is Cucurbita moschata Decne.

Kabocha are Japanese varieties of Cucurbita maxima.

Closely related, but different.
