Blood Oranges

Guess What?? After all the huh hah regarding the Blood Oranges in LB's recent posts, I came across the bloody Blood Oranges today in Giant Supermarket.

Thanks to LB , else I might thought those are EXPENSIVE ROTTEN ORANGES (RM 1.99 per orange). LOL. After eating and taking few snapshots of the Blood Oranges I bought, it's time to sms and inform LB, my discovery. :P

The sampat LB took a snapshot of our sms-es and posted it to me :D

I choose two slightly "more normal looking" Blood Oranges, instead of those dark purplish oranges, and not those normal looking orange-coloured oranges (as you can see from the first photo). Kiasu and Kiasi spirit mah. LB's Blood Oranges are TAROCCO and mine's are MORO.

The seedless Blood Oranges with crimson, blood-coloured flesh and sap. Nope, I'm not sucking nor eating blood. I'm not dracula nor vampire either. I'm just me, and I am who I am. :P

*Showing Fangs*

p/s: Blood Oranges are rich in Vitamin C and the red pigment (anthocyanin) is an antioxidant

  16. angeles,
    Earlier on I thought Mangoes can become the fruit of the month, mana tau being take over by the Bloody Orange :D

    Yeah loh, I think so too.
    Else no one or not many people will bother to take a look at those awful looking "rotten" oranges. Kakkakaa

    Good leh the BO in your places was sold at the same price as in Italy (LB told me the BO there was sold at RM 1 per oranges too after conversion). Might be cos nobody buy those oranges earlier on, hence the discount? Kekekke

    My Goodness... U mean there is fresh figs in Malaysia too??? I have only tried the dry figs and preserved figs. I wanna try those fresh ones !!!!!!!!!!!

    What a name. Buah Tin. I couldn't believe that :P

    even if u don't say anything,
    I can also piak u.
    Piakking u for being quiet mah :P

    tz,
    It is sweeter than the normal oranges, and seedless.
    Rich in Vitamin C and the red coloured pigment (anthocyanin) is an antioxidant :)

    U can try your luck in Giant Supermarket.

    butt,
    Hehehe.. Might be the Blood Orange is Grape Fruit mia relative kua? :P

    ReplyDelete
  35. Babe KL,
    Yeah loh, earlier on I thought it's only available oversea. Mana tau sini pun boleh dapat :)

    The Blood Orange is sweet, and it's also seedless :)

    Chen,
    Made me catch no ball liao
    Why suddenly Apple iPhone?
    Any hidden meaning ah? :D

    Giddy tigress,
    Wah.. u actually noticed them before this :D

    The Giant Staff labelled the Blood Oranges as US Moro Oranges. Moro is one of the subtype of Blood Oranges. The blood oranges are sold at cheaper price (RM 0.99 per orange) at Giant in Prangin Mall compared to Giant in Penang Plaza (RM 1.99 per orange).

    I just bought another 5 oranges today, since I'm on leave. :)

    LB,

    since it's only RM 0.99 per oranges, so I buy another 5 loh.. Won't get to eat bloody oranges frequently mah :P

    ReplyDelete
  40. i went looking for rotten fruits and veges in NTUC just now. dont haveeeee. *pout*
    actually quite funny. i picked some up which vaguely looked like the BO but also dark purplish red, and then see at different angle. found many strange fruits at the supermart just now. but no BO. :/

    ReplyDelete
  41. keeyit,
    u should try it since the blood orange is now available in the market. I bought it from Giant Supermarket :)

    misti,
    Hahaha, so there are strange and extra ordinary fruits in Singapore too. Just that u need to look out and search for it, right? ;)

    Might be other supermarket will have the bloody orange kua? :P

  42. Erkkk... dari luar nampak macam rosak... dari dalam nampak macam sedap... apa rasa dia tu?? macam best jer...

    ReplyDelete
  43. beruang madu,
    memang betul.
    Dari luar nampak macam oren rosak, cuma tak ada rasa busuk.

    Rasanya sama macam oren, tapi tak masam, sebaliknya rasa manis. Dan oren ini tiada biji. Senang nak makan :)
