Mad for Mangosteens!

Image
This dark purple skinned fruit is widely found in the South East Asia region. I love mangosteen seasons! It's also the rambutan and durian season. I don't dig the latter but I love the former! I was gonna eat my mangosteens, and decided to post something about it for those who aren't familiar with local Malaysian fruits. Apparently it's one of the 'superfruits' haha! Dark purple outside, white inside At the base of the fruit, you see this flower-ish pattern..my mum told me the amount of 'petals' signifies the amount of fruit that's inside. Like this one, it has 6 petals... True enough, it has 6 fruits inside mmm sweet You gotta be careful though..the juice leaves a nasty stain! Useful Site: Mangosteen

Well, please bear with me..you'll know soon. L-R: BJ., Barney and Baby Bop (Credits of this pic goes to whoever took it, I nicked it off Google) My 6-year old cousin used to LOVE watching Barney..and the other day I noticed that he was wearing a Barney shirt..here, have a look: Say, what? Looks like Barney, walks like Barney, but it's not Barney? It's BOBO and Friends?? Yeah, contraband products have typo errors just so they don't get sued..but BOBO?? Normally if you go to the market, they have lots of imitation goods..Like Adidus, Geuss, and what not. So I guess the people who made this particular batch must know that it would appeal to a certain 6-year old who is extremely fond of BOBO. Why d

Redang Island

Okay here are the pics of the Redang trip. Redang is one of the bigger islands of Terengganu. Terengganu is situated at the East Coast of Malaysia. We took the bus there and it reached Kuala Terengganu (K.T.) around 5.40 a.m. Approximately the ride took 8 hours.

The bus stopped at a stall that had an East Malaysian delicacy - Kerabu rice and roasted chicken. I couldn't eat that early in the morning, so I just drank Milo.
