My love of Starfruit.
.
.
.
*Location : At the roof top of a Hongout Hostel at Singapore.
.
*Thought : At a grocery store, one of my favorite places to visit when I’m away, I found this amazing fruit. Sometimes English naming surprises me. It is literally ‘Star’ fruit, right? It is so right, and genius name.
.
As a person who deeply involved with Astronomy, anything shapes like star get my interest. This star fruit became my favorite thing in ๏ปฟ as soon as I saw. Not just the shape I loved, the taste. I am not a sweet tooth, so I don’t like too sweet fruits either, so Starfruit is just perfect for my taste. Little bit sour, like.. a grapefruit which I also like.
.
Everyday I bought several Star fruits and had it for dinner or with other food. Star fruit juice as well.
.
My love of Starfruit, it never stops! It totally deserve pick for my Travel Photo of the week! Don’t you think?

“Have you ever had a Starfruit?”

Cute. I never saw the starfruit as much, mostly cos it’s local to us in Malaysia. But seen through a stranger’s eyes… yeah, it is sorta wonderful, isn’t it? ๐
@Kenny
Yap. Sometimes you can learn from strangers’ eye. ๐ I’m learing about my country so much too. hehe.. Anyhow, Starfruit, rocks!! Totally
Wow Juno. This is amazing. Are these REAL? I am surprised. I am sure these tastes cool ๐
Thank you for sharing ๐

@Ciki

it’s amazing. I’ve never heard it, starfruit? is there any way of having that in korea?
@iKe
I don’t think so. That is a tropical fruit.. so..
I love star fruit, and remember the first time I had it here in the U.S. I haven’t seen it in the grocery store on a while…maybe it’s time for a trip to the Singapore or Malaysia…
@Mary
Wow US has starfruit too?? US has everything! Maybe it’s time to make a plan to States…??? ๐
I’m not sure, but it certainly looks like a fruit in Brazil that is called ‘carambola’. I don’t remember the taste, but we had it in our house (the plant) when I was a kid.
@Leila
I think you are right! Google says it is. ๐ Wonderful! So you can grow that in the yard! Awesome.. Shamd I don’t live in Tropical atmosphere. ๐
Hi Juno, it’s interesting to see foreigners fascinated with our local produce, I.e; starfruits:) I like starfruits too! The Chinese here (Malaysia) rub a lil salt and eat, apparently to reduce heatiness. But the fruit itself is cooling. It’s nice to juice it too.
Love ur blog!:)
@Janis
Right. ๐ So you see everyday in supermarket, right? I really miss Starfruit juice. It’s perfect taste! ๐
Fresh, sour mmmm
but with salt? Don’t know about that.. It makes taste better? ๐ Maybe!
Thanks!
I like fresh starfruit, something you can’t get in the US (at least not northeast). I had some fresh picked starfruit when I lived in Shenzhen. Delicious.
why dont you try to dip it with rojak sauce. (refer this link : http://www.malaysianfood.net/recipes/reciperojak.htm) it’s easy to make. trust me, it will give extra flavours to your starfruit! ๐
p/s: if you dont have time to make it, just prepare some soy sauce, mix it with a lil bit of sugar. (if you love spicy food, add some chopped thai bird chillies and tadaaa~ enjoy dipping!
