Red fruits

Last Sunday, I decided to buy every red fruit I can find at the supermarket. It was just a whimsical, spur-of-the-moment action. Fruits are not very expensive here in Malaysia and they are sold in small quantities in the supermarket. We have fruits from all over the world like Australia, USA, China, South Africa, Thailand and a few other countries.

Here are part of the red fruits I found such as red apple from Washington, USA, lychee from Thailand, strawberries from California, USA and dragon fruit which I believe is planted locally.

This strawberry looks so succulent in macro mode but it is sooooo sour in reality. The whole batch of fresh strawberries I bought had ended up as puree, frozen and waiting for its fate. I wanted to bake muffin with them but my kids said they wanted plain muffin.

So, lesson learnt. What looks good on camera does not necessarily taste good and will go to waste.

    dragon fruit! my fav! have u eaten dragon fruit that is purple inside rather than white? taste the same, but kinda juicier than the white ones. However, it stains your clothing if handled carelessly, AND be prepared for tomorrow morning’s toilet bowl… purple hahahhaa!

    lilian,
    fresh strawberries by themselves seldom taste all that great. Drown them in thick fresh cream and/or sprinkle with sugar.

    lilian, my mum used to tackle those sour strawberries by sprinkling some sugar and brandy on it. Leave it for a while and the flavours will develop and your strawberries will not be so sour. If no brandy, you can soak it in some red wine.
