Donut Peach

I got my hands on some donut peaches or commonly known as Saturn Peaches or UFO peaches.

One of the peaches had a mini peach on top.

I really liked them because of the flat shape and they were easier to eat especially for people who have a small mouth.
They were juicy and sweet.

[Fruit] Kiwiberries

Tried some Kiwiberries which are mini Kiwis without the fuzzy skin.
You can practically just pop them in your mouth and they are juicy and sweet.

Korean Musk Melon

Batwan

Yes, it is spelt Batwan not Batman!

Anyway I mistook this for a Vietnamese Star apple but realised it was not when the fruit felt really hard.

Apparently it is meant to be that hard because I thought it wasnt ripe.

Inside the fruit there are some seeds in the centre which are covered in white sticky slime.

The hard orange flesh is similar to the texture of unripe hami melon however the taste is extremely sour and used as a cooking ingredient.

Compal Essential Fruit Shots

Got this because the bottle was really cute, it is palm sized and just slightly smaller than a hand grenade!

It is a fruit shot with designed to contain one portion of fruit inside the bottle without the fuss of washing and peeling the fruit.

Fresh Jackfruit

Finally got to try fresh Jackfruit because the ones I have tried before were dehydrated.

The Jackfruit's appearance and inside is similar to a durian yet the taste and smell is so different.

The jackfruit tastes really sweet and the smell is also really strong.

Yangmei Berry

I have always been intrigued by this fruit and did not know what it was until I finally tried it.

It looks like a lychee, so I assumed you had to peel off the shell and eat the berry inside, then later I found out that the whole berry is eaten except for the stone so I decided to get it because there is nothing to peel off.

The taste was unique at first. Then it reminded me of pink grapefruit.
The berry is made up of liquid filled pins similar to a grapefruit but without the white skin protecting it.
In the centre there is a stone.
After trying a few, some were sweet and some were very tart.
The tart ones tasted like grapefruit and the sweet ones like a sweet berry.

Yellow watermelon

Came across a yellow watermelon [The yellow crimson], so bought it for fun.

It tastes and smells exactly the same as the red flesh ones.

Apart from yellow, you can also get orange flesh ones {Orangeglo}, and there is one called Moon and Stars because of the patterns on the outside.

Kullanard's mangosteen fruit cookies

Was attracted by Kullanard's cookie range because of its unusual flavours, not unusual in Thailand but unusual for places that do not sell them!
The cookie flavours were: mangosteen, mango and durian.


mangosteen, mango or durian

I got the mangosteen flavour because the other two I could roughly imagine the taste.
The cookies were convenient, they were individually packed.

Individual packets

The cookie itself was softer than I expected, but had a nice mangosteen aroma to it.
It was slightly pinkish too.
It tasted like a Ribena flavoured cookie!


As well as cookies they had crispy rolls, the ones I found interesting were Tom Yum Gung, Banana flavour!

Fresh jujube [chinese red date] 紅棗

I do not like jujubes especially the dried version, but today I was given a fresh version to try and it tastes much better than the dried one.
It is not as sweet as the dried version.
The taste and texture is the same as the red 蜜棗 except drier.

The stone inside was long, thin and sharp.

蜜棗 - Fresh Date

Sugar apricots

Tried these sugar apricots, which are really small and cute, they are slightly smaller than a ping pong ball.
In general they are sweet as claimed on their packaging.
The firmer ones are slightly starchy, whereas the softer ones are sweet and juicy.
The apricot does not stick to the stone which makes it really convenient to eat.

Black strawberry

Freeze dried peaches

Usually dried fruit comes in the form of apples, strawberries and banana.

Came across peach which I have never seen before, so got a pack.

Basically its texture is light and brittle, if it was less sweet it would taste better.

I tried putting a few pieces in a cup of Jasmine tea, and it gave it some delicate
peach aroma.

The packaging gave the impression it was from the U.S but after looking at the origin, I was shocked to find out it was a product from China.

Albino strawberries - Pineberry

Really cool albino strawberry that smells like a pineapple

White Strawberry. 

Rainier Cherries

Rainier Cherries are firm, large sweet cherries with pale creamy-yellow flesh with pinkish tones, and yellow skin that has a pink flush to it.
Rainier Cherries are very popular in Japan, where they will sell for about $1.00 US each in Japan (2006 prices.)
I tried them and they were delicious and sweet with a peachy cherry taste to it.
