Mr. P & Friends

Since its November, and there aren't much "seasonal" fruits, I've been turning to imported fruits.
longan....tastes somewhat similar to lychee, but this one had a weird after taste

my favorite red papaya~ it's an acquired taste but SO good!

I bought blackberries from wholefoods today...first time actually trying it out! Will blog about it later :)

  4. I find that papaya imported from Mexico aren't that good but from Hawaii, sweet and yummy! Longan.... My fave!! In Asia, it's comminly used in jelly deserts too. :)

  5. We love longans! Juicy and sweet! Papayas are great when eaten cold. Have not tried blackberries before!

  6. Really? You are just discovering blackberries? I hope you enjoyed them. Love them. I pick them fresh late every summer here in the southern part of the U.S.

  7. Longan needs to be perfectly ripe and very fresh to be delicious. I LOVE it--as I love everything Thai. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

    Best,

  8. I love longans if they are really fresh...not if the fruits has dropped off the stem, I think that's when they taste funky. I am not into ripen papayas but those green ones are great for pickles!
