Middle of the year is for fruits. Mangosteen, rambutans and durians! We bought mangosteen and rambutan recently. These fruits require a prolonged dry spell to ripen.
Oh, I love our local fruits. Got some mangosteen from our pasar malam for only RM10 for 3kg. Another mistake I made was to eat a whole bunch of rambutan on my own. I lost my voice the next day ~ most likely due to heatiness coz by too much of rambutans.
Now I am hoping to recover soon coz I have been eyeing the durians!!! Hope it won't take too long ~ yum, yum durian!!!

Middle of the year is about time fruits ready to be picked. They need prolonged dry spell. A friend was saying about though condition most plants and trees has been programmed to force flowering and fruiting...
When I was a kid, old folks did the unusual thing of slashing the trunk of large trees to induce flowering. They were 100 % right!!
These fruits are very nice, rambutan being sweet and watery, mangosteen being sweet with a touch of sour taste.
mangosteen
the hairy fruits
Those are really interesting fruits, I've never seen anything like them before. I wish I could try them.

I have traveled in Vietnam and Cambodia a few times and they have a fruit like the Rambutan that I loved!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous! I spent some time in Southeast Asia a couple years ago and fell in love with these fruits. Rambutans are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to see what you grow.
