Lazy to post about the Fremantle Prison. Hence I will sidetrack with something else...
The first time I ate
Gooseberry was in Beijing, China. And that was in 2002. I didn't know the name of the fruit at that time. Only a year or two back, I found out the name. Frankly speaking, I have no idea why it's called GOOSEBERRY. Which portion of it resembles a goose? :P
The gooseberries are also available here in Penang (import wan lah of coz). Saw it few times in the supermarket. Tastewise, it's sourish with tinge of sweetness.
The sweeter version of tomato. I can imagine
Misti's expression when eating it :)

rainstorm,
Thanks for dropping by.
Yeah, the gooseberry here is not as sweet as the one I tasted in China, and the price is much more expensive over here too :)
faizal,
Thanks for dropping by.
The taste is unique.
Do buy some if u happen to come across it in the supermarket :)
This is some thing new to me... will look out for it in the supermarket. Thanks for introducing it.
ReplyDeleteck lam,
ReplyDeleteI think the fruit is seasonal, as I don't see it frequently. By the way, I took the photo quite some time ago already, can't remember whether it's few months back or more than half a year already?
Do look out for the fruits if u passed by the fruit section in supermarket :)
Chen, nice photos you have on your blog. How long have you been doing photography?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I will drop by often to check out your new postings. :)
Snipe for Justice,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and your compliment :)
I bought my first compact digital camera in 2002, but during those days i only take shots during vacation & family photos. My interest in photography started in late 2005. Bought my first & only DSLR Canon EOS 350D with kit lens in March 2007. Bought the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 in February 2008. :)
