Pulasan
I haven't eat Pulasan for years. I went to Chowrasta market last week and saw few street vendors selling pulasan (RM5 per kilo), next to the roasted chestnut stalls.
Pulasan with bright red to dark red skin and soft spikey "hairs".
White, translucent flesh. Closely allied to the rambutans (I presume they are cousins).

chuppa!!
ReplyDeleteI've never had pulasan before, would you believe it? I think I'll go get some before the year's over... still in season ah?
where's chowrasta?
ReplyDeletei saw it last sat when i went sunday market and tot of took picture of it but i didnt...
ReplyDeletei tot it was lychee then saw the name pulasan and dowan took pikcher ledi...hehe
people, beware of Chen's super pulasan piak!! :P
ReplyDeletei'm not sure if i've eaten pulasan before oh.. spikey hairs, hence 'wilder' than its cousin rambutans? *LOL*
may,
ReplyDeletego go :D
This one taste better than rambutan (my humble opinion loh.. and the flesh is more juicy and doesn't stick to the seed). Still in season, I just bought it last week :)
vampirem,
Chowrasta market is located in Penang Road :)
ah nel,
Pulasan taste better than lychee :D
And the good thing is there's no preservative on the skin loh (compared with lychee or longan).. kkekekke
butt,
if i can't get pulasan, i might use rambutan instead :P Yeah, looks wilder.. ada style and more bergaya than rambutan loh ;)
Waaaaa, very interesting piakking tool for the future! Please consider using that instead of sotong! Wait... sotong still the best.. but can use pulaksan from time to time to add spice! I know misti or angel will love it!!
ReplyDeletenvr try ler as i saw it then din bought it...i think tis sat i went thre again might grab some of it but depends on mood...lol
ReplyDeleteI never had this before, but looks 10X better than the rambutan!
ReplyDeleteAnd piak-ing with this will hurt. Ouch!
Adoi adoiiii!!! Sakitttt!!!
ReplyDelete*LOL @ LimpBlue*
Hahaha!!! Becum PULAKsan pulak... kakakaka!!!
but seriously, i dun quite like it loh... i prefer rambutan over this anytime!
LB,
ReplyDeletehahhaa, so the main piakking tool will still be sotong :D Pulasan is on the KIV list when we are running out of sotong. LOL at the "add spice" session. YEah hoh, piak with pulasan can give some "special effect" :D
ah nel,
hypnotize..
BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY ...
KW,
this one is not hairy, but more spikey LOLOL. Good to throw at people too besides piakking :D
angel,
PULAKsan sounds very japanese hoh? Later become LB San, Angel San, Misti San pulak... after the Kaur & Singh trend...
Angel prefer the more hairy fruit ah? LOLOL
watashi wa come oredy!!! wah, LB San wants to ask liu piak me and Angel San with pulasan ah? sotong not in season is it? lol
ReplyDeletehuh wat is this har ? rambutan's bro?
ReplyDeletemisti,
ReplyDeletenow is pulasan season loh.. :P
I just wonder... whether we can pulas the Pulasan or not? :D
winn,
I only know it's rambutan's close relative..
dunno whether it's rambutan's cousin or rambutan's brother..
or rambutan's sister..
or rambutan's aunty..
or rambutan's uncle..
Whatever lah liuliu...
it's rambutan's relative :P
i also never had pulasan before. pulasan got it's own distinct taste or taste like rambutan also?
ReplyDeleteseen lots but never tried.
ReplyDeleteyou wanna use that to piak people ah? then use it as catapult 'bullet' lor - guarantee blue-black mia. LOL
is it the brother of rambutan ah? saw b4, but never eat b4.
ReplyDeletesengkor,
ReplyDeletetaste similar as rambutan, but more fleshy and the flesh won't stick to the seed, but much more expensive loh comparing with rambutan.

ReplyDeletei thoght thats rambutan? how come call pulasan one?
ReplyDeletemisti,
ReplyDeletemisti, the mata kucing or longan in Sarawak is different from the one here (refering to the skin, it's texture and colour).... I haven't eat the local Sarawak longan for years liao :)

13th panda,
The pulasan are supposed to be sweeter than rambutan. The pulasan I had here are sweet.
cynthia,
The rambutan are more hairy and Pulasan are more spikey :) They are close relatives. Taste wise is quite similar, but pulasan are much more expensive ;)
