If you’ve been following my foodie adventures, you’ll know my girls and I have a soft spot for beautiful, nutritious, and not-so-easy-to-find fruits. And lately, we’ve fallen head over heels in love with a new fruit crush — Zespri’s Ruby Kiwi! For the past two weeks, I’ve been indulging in one ruby kiwi a day,…
For as long as I can remember, fruits have been a dietary cornerstone in my family. Since my daughters turned six months old, I’ve made it a point to introduce a variety of fruits into their diets. As they grew, this habit blossomed into a family culture of fruit appreciation that we all share. Each…
Yesterday, I made a glass of orange + apple + avocado + chia seed smoothie for Cass to combat her constipation problem. I also added half a cup of color-free strawberry flavored yoghurt drink to the Shimono cup for a double power laxative effect and whirled everything together for a few seconds. This concoction is…
I admit I am a sucker for healthy food and health products. If you repeatedly show me how awesome a blender, juicer, air fryer or a food detoxifier is, that’s it, I will go weak and will eventually succumb to temptation! My friends in Facebook have been posting pictures on homemade smoothies made using the…
The other day, hubby bought some fruits from this fruit stall in PJ SS2 that sells a good variety of fruits. It’s located beneath Babyland. When he came home with the fruits, I was all smiles… coz he bought me my all-time favorite king of fruits – Musang King variety somemore (grin!), longans, huge red…
A few mornings ago, I cut a passion fruit into half and scooped out the seeds and when I was about to put the spoonful of passion fruit seeds into my mouth, I saw something wriggling amongst the seeds of the passion fruit which was still attached to the skin. On taking a closer look, I was…
At a look, there is nothing extraordinary about this orange but once cut, you’ll be surprise to find that the flesh is red in color and it looks pretty much the same as a grapefruit but tastes exactly the same as an orange-flesh orange. According to the fruit seller at the pasar malam (night market), this…
When I saw these fruits that my mil bought from the SS2 market on Sunday, I was really amazed. The fruit is very light, has very smooth and shiny skin and looks exactly like a toy fruit. You have any idea what fruit this is? These are passion fruits or markisa. They aren’t very costly – RM10…
I was grocery shopping at Jaya Jusco, Mid Valley the other day and saw this unique honey dew called Silver honey dew. This pint-size honey dew is almost half the size smaller than then regular honey dew, i.e. about the size of an Indian mango. This cute looking honey dew costs RM4.90 each. It tastes exactly…
These are some of my current pregnancy craves now – ‘kam kat’ (tangerines) and tiny mandarin oranges. When these were off-season a few months ago, it cost almost RM1 for EACH tiny tangerine, yet I bought them coz I was craving for them. Now, the tangerines are sold everywhere and I bought them for only RM5 per pack at…
I just love fruits and these are how much I eat every week, to be shared with the gals, hubby and my maid. These are just some that I keep outside the fridge and there’re more fruits in the fridge – oranges, pears, red dragon fruits, apples, plums, yellow kiwi fruits and papayas. Before I was preggers,…
The ‘antidote’ for heatiness…. Mangosteens. Our favourite exotic fruit too. Everyone in my family and DH’s family love durian to pieces. During each durian season, whenever my mil is in KL, she would buy loads of durians and we will all eat durian till we fall sick and feel bloated with durian. Burrrrppp…. yikes…. I…
Alycia’s breakfast. Yellow-skin and white flesh pitaya. One of my favourite fruits is the red dragon fruit or Pitaya. My gals love them too. We love them so much that we eat them almost every other day. Whenever my gals and I have constipation, dragon fruit always comes to my mind in relieving constipation. So…
