Crystal Fruit in Cameron Highlands

I went to Cameron Highlands today. Just came back and I cut up this "Crystal Fruit" that I bought earlier today. Cameron's fruits have all sort of weird names that is put to add some glamour to it, like Cameron apple(nothing like an apple), Love fruit(Tamarillo), and Mushroom beans(Cranberry beans), even the Cordyceps (dong chong chou) in Camerons is no real cordyceps, they just plainly look like white worms.

These "Crystal Fruits" were sold in Brinchang Night Market. Going for RM10 per pack. A lady gave me a small cut up piece to try... Hmmm.. very sweet and crunchy. Hubby felt the same too. So, I bought 2 packs. Not suspecting anything............... yet. When I looked at the base of the fruit, I saw some bright green colours, so I asked the lady whether this is a preserved fruit, as in additives added. She answered me "No, this is natural, this is the way it is."

When I arrived home, I cut one up, and to my suprise, it's a guava in disguise!!!

It's just a peeled guava tinted green!!!

Just look at the base of the fruit.... that part looks trimmed before and it is bright green.

It tastes so sweet that somehow it tastes so fake, as if they are soaked with saccharine. If they can be coloured, they can also be saccharine laden.

I'm not going to eat saccharine laden fruits. So, I'm going to throw the 2 packs that I bought into the dustbin.

The lady was such a liar! Or maybe I was just too naive to believe that there is this type of fruit.

J-Co Donuts

Hi everybody!

Just started this blog....

My first entry--- J-Co Donuts, originated from Indonesia

Bought them in Pavillion. Got a shock when I bit into them.... It's super soft!!

Very yummy indeed!!! No wonder there's such a long queue.

Actually this was my second attempt to buy.. First time, the queue was so so long... This time, I went on a weekday, working hours.. and there were still 5 person waiting in line.. not too bad.. so I lined up to buy my lot..

Price was reasonable.. RM20 for a dozen.... add another 11 bucks and u get another dozen.

I regretted a bit somehow not buying 2 dozens..cos one was never enough. The texture was so soft, and it's not that filling, so, I just downed 3 in a go. Me and hubby can easily finish up a dozen at one go.

My favourite is Original Glazed.. best!! Next will be White Chocolate Almond. Mango's good too! Matcha to be.... yucks.. maybe not to my taste bud

Ratings: 9/10.. I find the choco caviar that they promote so much on their boxes to be.... good... but not very good..so, I can't give it a full 10.
