poon cho tang SG no wonder LS, got flies one a few weeks back they were having offer on aussie cantaloupe but then not sweet at one one
Wanda SG It's bees lah, not flies. Where was the offer? I think the cantaloupes sent to Sg tend to be harvested too early, so cannot ripen properly....so x and yet not nice one...better off eating the Sun Honeymelon from M'sia which is close to the crunchy texture of hamid gua...and cheaper too.
poon cho tang SG so it's honey sweet? dats y attract bees? that one i tink $2++ for one big melon...all the aunties (according to mama) chiu the melons...but then after a few days noone wans to buy cos it's not sweet at all ...it tastes a little bit salty in fact malaysia got hami gua also?
Wanda SG Yes, xinjiang's melon is honey sweet indeed...eat liao want to eat everyday. M'sia's is call tai4 yang gua (Sun honey melon), looks something like the below (round and orangy-yellow) but the flesh is pale orange like hamid melon and crunchy...nice! I think there's another hamid melon from Spain or somewhere (with dark green patterned skin), which fairprice sells occasionally...it was served as dessert once during my trip, but not my fave as it's soft soft nua nua one.
poon cho tang SG i prefer those orange meat, rough skin one...but was disappointed by the awtah aussie one the malaysia one can buy in sg? wah seh...i din know melons can come from all over the world...only know xinjiang
Wanda SG This rough skin one? That one is either the Aussie rock melon or musk melon from elsewhere. ...quite x. Ya, can buy the m'sia one at the mkts....bet u dun go to mkts often.
Wanda SG This one looks like the xinjiang hamid gua....the yellowish skin means it's ripe for eating. *slurp*
Wanda SG Nissin sesame is nice.... Lately, I fell for the Noodle king brand....taste like wanton mee soup.
