Fruit Of The Day
Ciplaking/copycating SK's post this time. He talked about eating watermelons to cool down in the hot weather we are experiencing right now.
For me, I've been craving for a different fruit. SK ate half a watermelon (@.@!) and I ate half of a pineapple after lunch.
What's left of the pineapple. Sliced nicely and sprinkle asam boi on top. Heavenly! Maybe I'll have some guava tomorrow? ^^
But of course, I'll still eat my banana. One banana each day makes toilet visits smooth and easy! Bwahaha... Oh! It's great energy food too.
Maybe I'll buy a big watermelon to share with son and hubby this weekend.
I love pineapples!! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it when you sprinkle assam boi on the pineapple. Heavenly indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love guava too! And sprinkle some assam boi on the guava too! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteStill haven't eaten my guava yet. Maybe I'll buy them after work. And sprinkle lots and lots of asam boi on top! Can't wait! ^^
DeleteAnd I love bananas! Try to eat a few bananas a day if I managed to buy lah. I find that it's the most convenient fruit to eat. No need to wash and to cut. Just peel and eat! Awesome : D
ReplyDeleteI agree. Banana is the most convenient fruit to ea. No need to wash and peel. Don't drip with juice all over us either. ;)
DeleteWatermelon is great for a hot day like today! I like to cut the watermelon into cubes, put them in a bowl and slowly enjoy them using a fork : D
ReplyDeleteSame here! Then can sit back, enjoy the watermelons while watching TV. :)
DeleteI think I am a lover of fruits! Don't know which fruit I don't like. Can't think of one at the moment haha!
ReplyDeleteAll fruits also sapu. That's good. ;)
DeleteHere's your favourite linguistic nuisance with her usual question. What is asam boi? It's a salty citrus-y thing?
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about summer in Tokyo is fruit! I just wish it wasn't so expensive, but watermelon, pineapple and bananas are all relatively affordable. Guavas? Very expensive. So-called soft fruit like peaches, apricots and grapes? Think Greek debt. :(
PS: Half a watermelon is very doable in Tokyo. Have you seen the size of our watermelons? Little round things. Or even little square ones, but nobody can afford them. ;)
Not a nuisance at all. ^^
DeleteAsam boi is preserved sweet, sour plum.
You mentioning about summer fruits made me want to do another story about our visit to a budou gari. If those soft fruits is as much as a national debt,imagine the price here when it is imported. o.O
Those watermelons better be super sweet, that's all I can say! Aeon here sells crazy melons flown from Hokkaido at RM200 a fruit (the size of a softball) and there are actually people buying those. Crazy Japanese! xD
Sweet and sour plum on pineapple? That sounds like a gorgeous combination!
DeleteI have no idea what those expensive watermelons taste like. I'd rather save my money for an airline ticket via Malaysia. :D Ordinary (smallish) watermelons cost ¥1000 to ¥2000, and - like most fruit in Japan - they're perfect and delicious.
PS: I would kill for cheap grapes. Really. Kill.
PPS: You know Pepsi releases crazy flavours in Japan? This summer's flavour is "salty watermelon". Link here.
You know we runners down salt to replace the salt we lost while running & to avoid cramping? Salty watermelon sounds like a good drink before and after a run! LOL
DeleteHave you had a taste yet? For research purpose? ;p
I love pineapple too, eat plain/raw without anything is the best.
ReplyDeleteIf it's sweet I like it plain.
DeleteToo sour, my tongue cannot tahan! LOL
I love pineapple too but if it's rojak..
ReplyDeleteif cooked with cilli/tomato sauce..yummy
ReplyDeletefor me, I don't like cooked pineapples. ^^
Deletebut I usually don't like to peel it
ReplyDeleteme too! ;)
Deletehey, i learn a new word today!! CIPLAK.. i really went to google this word lah.. :D
ReplyDeleteso it's a valid malay word!! i thot in chinese (perhaps only malaysian chinese) we also say "ciplak" but that means lousy..
ReplyDeletehahaha so you learn one new Malay word today. ;p
Deletemaybe Malays "ciplak" is borrowed from that Chinese word and got mangled somehow? ;p
hahaha!! when i saw your title in my blog roll, i was wonder if i "inspired" you to write about the fruit of the day?? :p
ReplyDeleteYou are always my inspiration what! ;)
Deletepineapple is also one of the fruits i like, it's cheap and easily available.. errr, maybe not that cheap nowadays right?? i like it with asamboi or just salt..
ReplyDeleteI like it with asamboi if its ripe.
DeleteSour unripe pineapples must go with salt for me. :)
i actually wondered who created this asamboi thing, i remember it was like 25 years ago when guava + asamboi became a hit.. and till not asamboi is everywhere and tends to be the de facto thing for fruits.. :D
ReplyDeleteWas it 25 years ago?
DeleteHmmm... counting my age... yalor, it got popular around that time.
I remembered my Dad taught us to eat fruits with the asam boi (grated) when I was in primary school. Last time, cannot find the powder form easily at my hometown. ;p
last time when it started, i remember we really use the real asamboi, but now it's all artificial powder.. not that good to eat so much lah..
ReplyDeleteeih, that half a watermelon is very small only.. i picked the smallest of all.. it's those taiwanese watermelon, only RM2.30 and you can imagine with this price for taiwanese watermelon it's not big at all right??
ReplyDeleteAll I know for RM2 can get a qtr cut of big sized watermelon at Jusco. LOL
Deleteactually that half watermelon also part of my lunch lah.. haha!! i had one drumstick and watermelon for lunch~~ :D
ReplyDeleteOne drumstick and half of watermelon.
DeleteTrying to lose weight ah? ;P
so for the rest of the week you will be posting about fruits?? haha.. tomorrow guava, the day after banana, then weekend is watermelon~~ :p
ReplyDeletecannot lah... later got people complain pulak. LOL
DeleteI don't fancy pineapple....
ReplyDeleteI only take the fruit if it's super sweet.
No sour fruit for you? ;)
DeleteI'm a picky person, never liked any fruits.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I dislike watermelon, like I commented at SK's entry about watermelon.
OK lah if you don't like fruit since you eat veges, right? ;)
DeleteI only like banana, because it's hassle-free to eat.
ReplyDeleteI like banana also. Hi-five! ;p
DeleteAdding asamboi will trigger me to eat more, because I like the sweet soury taste, hehehe.... but my mama last time used to restrict us from asamboi because she said those are fake one. Eat too much is no good to our body :(
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere about plumbum being in the asam boi powder. o.O
DeleteBut still cannot resist them sometimes. :(
I love pineapple a lot...
ReplyDeletethere is once I tried a pineapple from Klang.. and it really full of juice..
ReplyDeleteklang pineapple is really sweet and juicy..
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't believe that how could a pineapple to be so juicy.....
I must try Klang pineapple someday.
DeleteYou are making me drool reading your description.;p
I thought was soak with sugar water to make it so juicy.. Then I saw the aunty and then he cut the pineapple and it is really that juicy.. not to soak in the sugar water..
ReplyDeletethen sarawak pineapple, Thailand pineapple also good.. no need to put asam boi and it really good to eat in orginal taste..
ReplyDeleteI like Sarawak pineapple a lot. :)
DeleteI can't makan pineapple just like that coz my tongue will rasa pedih but I like nasi goreng nenas..yums! :)
ReplyDeleteI get that too, but sometimes I didn't mind because I was craving for some. ;)
Deletenanas tu hangat untuk kerongkong lo :/
ReplyDeletemaybe I cannot eat too much for Pineapple lmao
