I differ from jiejie here and feel that so long as it's at a semi decent restaurant, it's ok. From the street it's different. I always ate fruit off the street but anything with an edible skin I washed with soap twice. Then again that was with Chinese tap water.
But I also had local friends who peeled skin off things like apples and peaches. YMMV.
