SeaSands in the Sun

A tangerine someone at work gave me. The Chinese believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Mandarin oranges are given during the New Year to symbolize good wealth and prosperity. The orange actually symbolizes gold - given to the colour and all. With the economy slowing down and all, I still wish that you may have the best of health and happiness as you usher in the new year...and many oranges =)

Can this: Cream cheese Be mixed with this: King of Fruits - Durian I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into Secret Recipe the other day. I thought I read it wrong..but I didn't.. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! I salute those brave hearts(and guts) who actually bought this! I'm not a fan of the Durian and to see it mixed with cream cheese? Well it seems like a cocktail headed straight for the loo. Anyone tried it? I would love to hear how it tasted like, and what the side effects were =P

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
