Hubby and I went for a short trip to Kuala Lumpur.
We were going to a place on the outskirt of KL and came across this dragonfruit farm.
We tasted one first before deciding to buy or not and boy, were they sweet! I am not a 'fruit' person but these fruits were really really sweet.
I've tasted the ones that hubby had bought at the supermarket here in S'pore and they were so bland - they were from Vietnam - so when I saw some from Malaysia thinking that it will be just as sweet - wrong, it was bland too. So I think that maybe, the fruits are being plucked even before they are ripe in order for them to be just nice and ripened when it reaches our shore - conclusion is that the fruits are not being allowed to ripen and sweetened naturally before they are being plucked.
I didn't know that dragon fruit trees look like this.
Looks like a stump with cactus growing on top.
Should have bought more!
