Fruitful season - Rambutan


Just brought a group of colleagues to my neighbour's nearby orchard yesterday. We had a whole tree of rambutans all to ourselves. The freshest rambutans we've ever eaten, right off the tree.

Every rambutan tree seems to be fruiting at the same time now. As a result, these fruits are selling dirt cheap, down to RM 1-2 per kg here. My generous neighbour brought a big sack of it to distribute to my staffs.

Criterias for good rambutans: thick, firm and sweet flesh, detach easily from the seed, nice looking with the right shade of red, the right length of hair...

I am being picky here. With so many good ones to chose from, why bother with the inferior ones.
