More fruit



OK, so here are a couple pictures related to fruit.  "Fruit in Love" is a shop in a nearby mall that serves fruit shakes where you choose one fruit for a 'first love' shake or a second fruit for a 'second love'.

The sign is from a Chinese seafood restaurant we went to - no dogs, durian, or food is allowed.  Durian, you might remember, is the rather... fragrant tropical fruit you can get around town.  To give you an idea of the potency of its scent - we were in a huge food court the other day, and there was one food stand selling a couple slices of durian that were wrapped in plastic.  You could smell those couple pieces throughout the *whole food court*.

The cut fruit is dragonfruit and pomelo.  Dragonfruit not only looks cool (a bright pink shell with long threads curling out from it, and white fruit speckled with eatable seeds inside), it tastes cool too - the fruit has a really cool texture, and the taste is subtle.
