Pickled Fruits Feast
Two big bottles of pickled fruits for us, that came all the way from Pasar Payang, Terengganu courtesy of my sis-in-law. Thanks dearie.
We actually would love to get our hands on some pickled salak (snake fruit), but there were no stock of it when she was there. Aaahhhh... pity. I wrote about the salak fruit last year, do check it out here.
Although we didn't get our favourite pickled salak fruit, my sis-in-law brought back a bottle of pickled mangoes and kelubi (swamp fruit); which is extremely sour and extremely addictive.
We had some each night but for me, I can only take a piece at a time. I sure don't want my gastric to act up on me, after taking all these acidic treat far too much!
pickled mangoes are good! though i love it fresh too =)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what snake fruit is ????
ReplyDeletesis in law so nice to send you over those fruits, just be careful with your gastritis =)
ReplyDeleteAah too bad they didn't have the stock, salak is certainly the best!
ReplyDeleteI can still enjoy pickled mangoes, but kelubi is way too sour for me...
i would go for fresh ones
ReplyDeleteA smile from SJ =)
@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteI love mangoes both pickled and fresh. Ripe and unripe. Ooooo yummy. I wish I have a mango tree just like at my hometown so I can indulge. :)
Check out the link for snake fruit, Ayie. It is nice. A bit sweet & sourish if eaten fresh.
And yeah, I need to be careful of my intake. I'm limiting two pickled fruits per day, max.
@Evan's Mom,
ReplyDeleteyeah, too bad. Otherwise, we'll have a good time eating pickled salak. I love them! :)
I don't eat kelubi all that much either. Too sour for me too! :) But hubby and son loves them.
Oh yeah I missed about the link part...I forgot to check it. Wait I'm heading there now =)
ReplyDeleteI saw it Lina, it looks like same skin as lychee but the inside looks different
ReplyDelete@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteThe skin is much harder than lychee. Lychee are soft, juicy and sweet. Salak fruit (or snake fruit) is hard and crunchy.
If you come to Malaysia, we'll go and find some so that you can try. Deal?
Oh I love pickled mangoes! Now you making me want pickled mangoes! Aiyar! Lina~ Come send me some :P.
ReplyDeletekelubi sounds interesting...wat is it?
ReplyDelete@ladyviral,
ReplyDeleteCannot. I wanna eat alone! LOL
You want how many cartons? :D
@bengbeng,
ReplyDeleteit's a type of swamp (marsh) fruit. It is closely related to Salak (Snake) fruit, as they are both non-rattan palm plants. It is a sour fruit and heavenly to eat when pickled. :)
reminds me of the coming cny :)
ReplyDeletein spite of yr explanation n i clicked on the pic for a closer look, i gotta admit i never seen or heard of this fruit before :)
ReplyDeleteOh it's sour! yeah try not to eat it too many 'coz its coloring may not good to the body. But once in a while sure ok, hehehe :-)
ReplyDelete@QuaChee,
ReplyDeleteYou eat jeruk on CNY?
@Bengbeng,
the only way to solve this is - go to yoour nearby pasar malam and look for some at the tidbits stall. :D
@Dora,
Definitely. The coloring that made your fingers all turn yellow. But funny, that didn't deter us to eat these, right?
good idea :)
ReplyDeletei would love home-made pickled fruits..
ReplyDeletesure! As long as it doesn't have durian's strong smell I think i can handle that fruit. =P
ReplyDelete@bengbeng,
ReplyDeletelet us know if you find them. :)
@wenn,
My parents used to make them but I don't know how to. Do you know how to make pickled fruits?
@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteYou can't stand durian. Such a pity! :D
these are sour if i remember correctly? i am no big fan of sour food, but i remembered eating them during primary schools. n they make me hungry! :p
ReplyDelete@levian,
ReplyDeletekelubi? Yep, sour. very sour. :)
No QuaChee doesn't eat jeruk during CNY, he eats kuaci! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI tasted the salak fruit before in PJ Hilton. Haha! My first taste of this fruit is in a dinner buffet, can you believe that!
ReplyDeleteNeed some getting used - this snake fruit!
@foong,
ReplyDeleteEat kuaci on CNY, that one I know lah. Hihihi
Wah, so class la you. Eat jeruk at hotel. If I ever manage to get my hands on bottles of salak fruit, you can get some from me. :D
Actually, you went to Kenyir that time, I should have "tumpang" you buy something from Terengganu. LOL
You went to KT or not after your trip there?
wow, lamenyeeee tak tgk asam. Meleleh air liur I hihihih ;P
ReplyDelete@Farah,
ReplyDeletememang mengancam jiwa espcially utk mak-mak buyung. Muahaha!!!
nope, I can't. my smell is quite sensitive. I tried many times...even the pastllas or candies can make me feel like throwing up. But jackfruit is something I cannot resist!
ReplyDelete@Ayie,
ReplyDeleteWow! That's sensitive. @_@
I love jackfruit but eating them sometimes gives me gas. But like you, I can't resist. :)
I like it fresh, cooked as dessert (in sugar) and cooked as unripe with coconut milk and a bit spicy! oh now I want it!
