BenardCometh Revelations

*** Totally out of topic of this post... Just finished watching England vs Germany match..... Germany is the better team......They deserve the win....-End- So, I got myself some weird fruit that I never set my eyes upon and have no knowledge at all about the fruit. Was told that the fruit is called "Sui Jing" Fruit by the seller. "Sui Jing" means Crystal or something similar I think, hence the title of the post. The outer skin/husk of the fruit is hard while the flesh inside is sweet and soft. Anyway, a picture is worth a thousands words so let's have the pictures do the talking, aye? "Crystal" Fruit "Crystal" Fruit - Close up The fruit cracked open revealing the flesh inside The flesh of the fruit close up The seed There you have it, "Sui Jing Guo" or Crystal Fruit... Maybe the fruit seller is pulling my leg as I tried to search online for Sui Jing Guo but to no avail. If the two of you (total of two loyal readers who ar...

Cat's Eye Fruit is actually a longan fruit variety and locally is known as Buah Mata Kucing which is literally translated as Cat's Eye Fruit. It is interesting to note that the longan name is actually derived from the chinese pronounciation which means dragon eye. However, since locally it is known as Cat's Eye aka Mata Kucing , I will still refer it as Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Cat's Eye Fruit/Longan Buah Mata Kucing Please note that the Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing is not lychee fruit. Lychee fruit can be considered the big brother of Cat's Eye Fruit aka Buah Mata Kucing aka Longan. Now, yours truly shall show you the ancient secret method of opening the rind to get to the flesh. There are basically three methods you can use to open up the rind and get the flesh. First method is the macho way to show your manliness by using just three fingers to open the rind and get the flesh. First of all, pick up a cat's eye fruit ...

Dragon fruit is a type of kiwi-like fruit. While kiwi fruits are green or golden, dragon fruits are white or red. Another popular name for the dragon fruit would be the pitaya. The Chinese call it fire dragon fruit, the huo long guo . Dragon Fruit Like I what I mentioned earlier, the dragon fruit is a kiwi-like fruit because the flesh is similar to the kiwi fruit. The only difference would be that the dragon fruit is a whole lot bigger than kiwi fruit. If compared, dragon fruit is better tasting than kiwi fruit in my tasting opinion not to mention more fulfilling. However, it is a matter of preferences I guess. To consume, just peel off the skin and you will get one whole edible flesh and seeds or to save time and make it easier, just use a knife to slice the fruit into half and use a spoon to dig out the flesh. Just like how you would eat a kiwi fruit. Dragon Fruit Flesh Sliced into half There you have it. Dragon Fruit aka Pitaya. Enjoy your pitaya and be careful with the juice as it...

This post will feature another local fruit since after the King of Fruit and Queen of Fruit , the commoner fruit also must not be neglected. I suppose. Langsat have a cool scientific name, well most scientific names are cool. Anyway, Langsat's scientific name is " Lansium Domesticum". Probably you can try the name at your local fruit market seller. Something like, "Hello, how are you today? Do you have the Lansium Domesticum? You know, the Lansium Domesticum **while gesturing the ball shape with your two palms**. Give me a kg of Lansium Domesticum yah?" **still gesturing the ball shape with your two palm** . Oh yeah, do that and you risk being hit by a slipper or even a broom. Better still, you might even be thrown some "Lansium Domesticum" at your face. Back to the focus of this post. Langsat aka the "Lansium Domesticum" . The fruit is almost round oval-ish and has light yellowish to brownish skin. There are around 4 to 6 segments/slices ...

Previously the Queen of Fruits and now its the King of Fruits. Durian is considered as the King of Fruits. Perhaps because of the thorny shell that looks like a crown? Probably because of the taste I would think. Its either you love durian or you don't. From what I know, durian is not too popular with 'ang moh'/ western foreigners due to the strong smell of the fruit and also the aftertaste. Durian The King of Fruits, Durian or the scientific name, Durio zibethinus is truly unique with a variety of types. The smell is definitely distinctive and commanding. Some are offended by the smell and dislike durian and never want to try durian. They are definitely missing out on one of the most unique fruit in the world. After all, durian is not called the King of Fruits for nothing. I am sure a lot of you knows how to crack open a durian to get to its tender and appetizing flesh but for the sake of those who don't know, yours truly am going to show visually how to crack open ...

Mangosteen or locally known as "Manggis" is a type of tropical fruit. Its scientific name is "Garcinia Mangostana". Mangosteen rind/husk/shell is deep purple-reddish in color when its ripe. Some might even think that mangosteen is from the mango family due to the name but in reality, it is not from the mango family which obviously can be seen in the pictures later, Mango fruits have one big seed and the flesh are whole while mangosteen have small seed and the flesh are divided into few slices naturally. That is why mangosteen is not from the mango family, BenardCometh rationale style. Mangosteen aka Manggis Mangosteen aka Manggis V2.0 By the way, mangosteen aka " manggis " is also known as the Queen of Fruits, how cool is that? Queen of Fruits. Royal fruit yo.That makes me wonder whether there are any Knight of Fruit. Maybe the " Rambutan " or even the " Banana ". When mangosteen is not ripe, the shell is firm and hard and as ...
