The Fruits of the Day

Strawberry

Malta Eriği

Time to show u the fruits i love... bought from my beloved pazar naturally...Strawberry...hmmm ...who wouldnt know strawberry right? In Malaysia it is only found on the highlands such as the Cameron Highland. In Turkey, it is a spring fruit. ..very short season...so when u wanna eat it..grab it now! There are a few choices of strawberries..the big sized one or the cute small ones (tarla)...you should watch out if it is the big sized ones coz unless it says *organically grown*, then most probably it is hormon added. That is why,if i buy the strawberry, i will make sure it is as small as possible (coz halil loves it like that as well), and it is clearly stated there hormon free. How do u choose the strawberry? It is simple really.. just put the strawberry near ur nose..smell it. If u smell the fresh aroma of strawberry...buy it. If not...dont bother!! It wont be nice..

The second fruit there is what we call *Malta Eriği*.. i have no idea the name of this fruit in English. If anyone knows..please tell me. I will really appreciate it. It looks so unappetising, i know..It looks as if it just fall to the ground..lebam ja..peel the skin... if u love the masam(sour) taste type of fruits..(waaaaaaaaaa lapaq mempelam muda cicah dengan kuah rojak waaa..ben yesil mango ozledim demek)..this is the fruit u will like as well..Nope..we dont have it in Malaysia.....again, this is spring fruit..

Well folks!! till next pazar...new fruits to introduce.. Adios!! and Guys!! I still dream of nenas and mempelam muda!! ..rojak buah...hmmmmmmmmmm yummy!

Please note:
Upon reading this entry, my sis in law Funda searched the latin name for the malta eriği, then she cross searched from latin to english and here is her findings...
