BKK #09: Fruits
Thailand has many exotic-looking fruits, so here are a few pictures I took in supermarkets.
Also, this is some strange fruit that we bought, called "rose apple". It looks like a sort of reversed pear, has some sort of thin hair-like stuff instead of the apple's stem, tastes sort of like rhubarb and is very juicy.
Last but not least, fresh coconuts that were being cut off trees at The Atlanta.

The "rose apple" fruit is called a "bell fruit" in Taiwan. They're really good if you know how to pick 'em. Yum!!!
The purple fruit on the right in the first picture is called a mangosteen I think, which tastes neither like a mango nor Bruce Springsteen, but instead is quite sweet. Again, somebody has to tell you how to eat them or you'll be lost and have an unpleasant fruit experience.

Haha! Thanks for all the trivia. :)
The rose apple/bell fruit was pretty good indeed! It felt good to eat it when thirsty.
