Temperate Fruits

What happened if one has too much of Tropical Fruits? It's time to indulge in something different... namely Donut Peaches, Red Cherries and Nectarines - the Temperate Fruits.

This was my first encounter with the flat Donut Peach/Doughnut Peach. Am I suaku? At least I know I'm not the only one since Maymay is also in the same boat. Please tell me there are more "suaku" out there who dunno the existence of Donut Peach... LOL. I lup the donut peach with sweet and juicy white flesh ~ I'm lovin' it...

Fresh Red Cherry. It tasted different from the sweet preserved cherries which are loaded with sugars. Instead of the boring Forrest Gump's famous quote "Life is like a Box of Chocolate..", how about "Life is just a Bowl of Cherries"?

Nectarines. Mmmm... nothing special. I want my durian !!! Hahhahhaa...

I also haven't tasted the donut fruit. Hmm, must try it next time. The other day I bought some cherries from the tamu. I couldn't believe the price - RM60 per kilo! Siow anot! Since we hardly get to eat it, so ma buy lor. Ended up poorer by RM40! :(

I love the fresh peach from China too. Ate it in 2002 during my first visit to China. The gigantic sweet and juicy white flesh peach.
Yum yum :)

ECL,
hahhaa, cannot compare the price here with China though. Most of the things there are generally much cheaper. Hehhehe.. I remember buying a big packet of big and juicy strawberries for just RMB10 ;)

I know u love durian mah. That's why I suggested durian to her when she asked me what to get for u. hehehhe..

*sampat*

oceanskies79 said...

Yes...we did. It was a helpful suggestion, so we took it.

Chen said...

oceanskies79,
I presume u all took cab instead of public transport to visit her then. Luckily Carcar didn't claim the taxi fare from me. Hehehhee :P

_butt said...

no wor. I think I'm crowd-phobic. haha.

Chen said...

butt,
yeah, it's always people mountain people sea wan. I visited the fair this year and bought few things..
Now pocket koyak liao... :P

oceanskies79 said...

Eh, we took the bus. The durian seller opened the durian for us and keep in those styrofoam container. Then he helped us tie a knot at the opening ends of the plastic bag. Luckily no one on the bus complained of durian smell.

Chen said...

oceanskies79,
Haha, that's great. Can save some moolah by taking the public transport. Might be the bus passengers were curious, wondering where the durian smell came from :D
