Cherry Tomato

Besides strawberries, another product to look out for in Cameron Highlands is the Cherry Tomatoes (my favourite) ..

I love the cherry tomatoes from Cameron Highlands. The little red coloured, ripe cherry tomatoes (in various sizes and shapes) are sweet and delicious, unlike the one found in the local market in "lowland"(which are sour). That's why I only buy cherry tomatoes in Cameron Highlands and not elsewhere :)

Is this the so called "Grape Tomato"? (refering to the elongated, oblong-shaped cherry tomato).

Dried Cherry Tomatoes. This is the first time I see such product. Never thought there are such things called dried or preserved tomato. Hahhahha.... might be I sua ku loh..

Hi, Chen. Greeting.
The tomatoes look really delicious. I prefer to eat this type of tomatoes fresh, like eating an apple, or as part of salad bowl, and they are good to be part of sandwiches fillings too.

nyonyapenang said...

Chen said...
