Pomelo or Pear or Papaya???

Look at this picture and it is definately look like a pear ...or when I see the real thing it looks like Gigantic Pear and also look like Papaya...LOL...Actually it is only a mini pomelo from Guilin


Many of you may have seen our Malaysian version Pomelo from Ipoh and you will normally purchase it during the festive season such as during Chinese New Year & also during the mooncake festival. And it is either sweet & sour taste  or very sweet & juicy.

Well, this was brought back from Guilin,it has a pear shape however when cut it open it was round shape. Got a lot of seeds. It was dry but very sweet indeed.. Dunno whether the nature of the flesh is like tat or we don't know how to choose them.



Anyway to choose a good Ipoh pomelo, it has to feel heavy (meaning lot's of water, is going to be juicy), and the skin surface is very smooth. And Ipoh , one pomelo will cost around RM12 to RM13 per fruit

And if I am not mistaken the leaves and skin is useable among the chinese.
