Pear in Red

I bet you've seen and eat green pear before but what about red pear? I was planning to get some green pear, dono why suddenly craved for that. So i went to giant and hunt for it, who knows I can't find any green one but i found red one.

RM 0.99 each.
smells really nice.

It is actually the same like the green pear, except it's red in color. The difference is it smells nicer. For the green pear, if outside is hard, inside is hard too, but for this red pear, although the outer part is hard, but the inner part is actually soft. Hmmm, taste good too... If you happened to see this, remember to get one to try!

Jambu soak in mineral water?

There's a stall selling jambu near my office. Yes only jambu. Everyday i can see a lot of ppl buy from that stall. Really that nice? Jambu only mar, what's so special?

I decided to ask a colleague of mine that tried before. According to him, it's nice. How nice? Jambu is sweet and the sour powder also very nice. Oh ya, and the stall owner told my colleague that his jambu not soaking in normal water, it's soaking in mineral water plus dono what what what.

How much, 2 pieces for RM1. Quite expensive wor, the stall two pieces is equivalent to 1 piece at those normal fruit stall. Oklar, since everybody also say nice, i must try also lar..

So i bought two pieces to try. Hmm..jambu taste like jambu. hehe.. but fresh lar and the sour powder (酸梅粉) is really nice. Not too sweet, not too sour, taste just nice... But still i feel it's a bit expensive lar..

p/s: really soak in mineral water meh? or normal water? hehe..

Bangkok Food ~ Spicy Mango

Another food that you should not missed when you visit Bangkok, the spicy mango. Spicy mango? What's that? I bet you've tried raw mango with chili padi and dark soy sauce right? It's similar to Bangkok's spicy mango. hehe. Their spicy mango is the raw mango cut into slices, then they poured in chili powder and sugar. You can get it easily from the road side stalls that sells fruits or any market.

chili mango and the sweet and sour mango
20 Bath each (RM 2)

I bought these from the Chatuchak Weekend Market. There are so many stalls selling these there. The chili mango (right) is actually chili powder with mango. As for the sweet and sour mango, that's raw mango too, and they will give you a packet of asam. This asam taste just like our asam here, just that they also added chili in it. So the taste will be sour, sweet and spicy. Nice!!

Bangkok Food ~ Mango Sticky Rice

Everyone knows besides tom yam kung, mango sticky rice is also one of the must eat food in Bangkok. During my last trip to Bangkok, i missed this! Ya, i know, how can i missed it? Well, i can't find it. Not everywhere got sell one lar...

Finally we found it at the MBK shopping mall's food court. There's two food courts in MBK, one is the high class one (at 5th floor) and the other one is the normal food court (6th floor). Don't go to the wrong food court ya. We accidentally went to the wrong food court during our last trip, and guess how much we spent for our dinner there? 500 Bath (RM50) for a plate of rice and a bowl of soup (if i'm not mistaken). The price is double if compared to the normal food court! Ya they allowed us to swipe card some more!!

Mango Sticky Rice, 80 Bath (RM 8)

I think only those restaurants or shopping mall's food court got sell la..The mango were amazing! Smells so nice and taste sooooooo good! juicy and sweet, you just can't stop eating the mango! The white color thing you see on the sticky rice (glutinous rice) are coconut milk (santan). It taste a bit sweet, and salty. Smells very nice too. It match perfectly if you eat the sticky rice with mango. I always thought it will taste weird, but surprisingly it can mix very well! I think it'll taste nicer if we had this at some of the local restaurants! Anybody tried this before? Which restaurant is nice?

An apple a day ...

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away. Ya i think most of us know that but when do you eat the apple? After meal? It is actually best to eat an apple before your meal not after! If you eat apple before meal, it makes you feel fuller and curbs the urge to overeat.

Oh ya, and it's best to keep the peel on as it has the anti cancerous properties. Well, so many wax on the peel, how to eat wor.... :p So remember to eat apple before meal and not after meal ya!!

Grapefruit, prevent cancer or the other way round?

I've always heard grapefruit and other citrus fruits are very good in preventing cancer. It is very rich in vitamin C and antioxidants which may help to reduce cancer risk. I've heard and i've read about it then suddenly one day, i received a forwarded email which says grapefruit actually caused cancer!! what??!!

The forwarded email is about a story of a lady who got cancer. She said she used to eat one grapefruit everyday and recently she was diagnosed of getting cancer. (forgot what cancer she got) Anyway, she said the doctor claimed that it MIGHT be the grapefruit that causing it.

From the internet, you can see tonnes of articles saying grapefruit is good, can prevent cancer and on the Internet itself, you can also see ppl saying grapefruit is no good, can caused cancer. Which one should we believe? No wonder ppl say don't trust everything you get from the Internet...

Do you like grapes?

Do you like grapes? I love grapes (especially those seedless one) but I seldom eat grapes. Why? Cos it's very expensive mar. Grapes are very rich in vitamins A and C. Besides that, you can also find all kinds of minerals in grapes such as calcium, magnesium, iron and etc.

like that also need RM 5+ oh..

These nutrients can help to prevent a number of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and age-associated diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Hmm, I think I should really buy more grapes,
once in a while should treat ourselves
with some expensive fruits ma, right?. hehe..

Durian is back?

It has been a few months since I last ate durian. I saw durian on my way home just now, only i realized i missed durian so much. hehe... I missed those days where we can easily get 3 for RM 10, cheap and yet thick flesh with bitter taste some more..

Is now the durian season? hmm, cannot be right? now raining season wor, shouldn't have much durian mar.. durian, i miss u so much la... when can i get the chance to eat you? :p

Passion Fruit...Where are you?

I had been looking for passion fruit since I tried it for the very first time few months ago. Someone left me a comment said I can get it in Tesco. I went to different different Tesco but i can't find any!

Besides Tesco, I also search in Carrefour, Giant, Tesco Extra and etc. Can't find it in hypermarket, then my friend suggested me to go find at those supermarket such as Jusco and Cold Storage. I did but i can't find it as well!

Anybody can tell me where I can find passion fruits? Where? Where? Where?

My very first Passion Fruit

I've never seen or eat a passion fruit before, don't know how it taste, don't know how it looks like. When Ms.q showed the passion fruit to me this morning, i was like, huh? what's that? She told it's passion fruit, taste sour, sweet and very nice. She then gave me one to try!

passion fruit. It's very light in weight.
ms.q told me do not cut into half,
as there's a lot of juice inside.
should only cut the top part,
and use a teaspoon to eat the fruit.

i took her advice and cut the top part.
i was kind of surprised as it's quite hard
to cut it, i thought it would be soft, but it's not!!
when i cut it, immediately i can smell it.
it smells soooo nice!!! i don't know how to
describe the smell, it's like the combination of
pineapple, banana, grapes and all kinds of fruits.

juicy interior filled with numerous seeds.
ya i know what you are thinking,
it doesn't looks good. but as i said,
don't judged a book by it's cover and
don't ever judged a fruit by it's look!!
wait till you try it then only u comment. hehe..
it's sour taste makes u think of pineapple, but
it's better than pineapple 100%. it is
sour and sweet and smells really really good!

wow, SO NICE!!!!!!
why didn't i see this fruit selling in the market??
where can i find it? where? where? where?
(thanks ms.q for this superb fruit!)
