If you ask me what is my favorite fruit, it's 蓮霧, unequivocally that is my favorite fruit. The problem is that I don't know what it's called in English and I have yet to find any place that sells it outside of Taiwan & China. So you can imagine the frustration of not being able to find the fruit and having no idea how to tell people what it is because you don't know the name in English. However, on my recent trip back to Taiwan I made up for 8 years of 蓮霧 deprivation in one glorious gluttony.
Many thanks to dad for remembering my favorite and making sure there is plenty to stuff into my pie hole.
Imagine the cripsness, juiciness and texture of the watermelon (number 3 on my fruit ranking) mixed with some tartness and a subtle sweetness all in the palm of your hand. It's divine.
Oh my sweet little delectable cone shaped goodness, we will meet again and it will be heavenly.
