Stir Fried Fish Alongside Wax Apple Tree Slices 水蓊炒鱼片 - Local Fruits #1

Currently I’k living in a town where the food sucks. Sucks BIG TIME!! Wedding dinners hither are either avoided past the younger generation or are forced by parents to be held at community halls, which is a far outcry from prettily decorated dining halls inwards cities. Usually KK folks move to Sungai Siput for restaurant cooked meals in addition to they gustation a lot lot ameliorate and are a lot cheaper than in KK.

This dish that I’one thousand sharing today is a really weird dish that I one time ate at a eating house inward Sungai Siput'second Tai Chong. I was surrpised at the component, wax apple tree. And to my surprise the sense of taste and texture complemented good alongside the fish. With lovely wax apples bought from Jusco, I tried to recreate this dish, too I’one thousand glad I did quite a skilful chore on it.

Wax Apples or or so telephone call water apple, is a true local fruit. Well, papayas together with pineapple grow here, only they are not true locals. Papayas came from the American continent as well as pineapples are indigenous to South America. So non every locally grown fruit are true locals.

When I was a kid, my neighbours had wax apple tree trees. My side neighbor too my back neighbor. The side neighbor's tree had pinkish smallish tart fruits too my dorsum neighbor had i that grew white fruits alongside huge seeds. I approximate the white version is real very difficult to come past present. It'sec non a blessing to have neighbours having such trees. How nosotros dread each fruiting flavor. Our compound will smell like a dumpster alongside all the rotting fruits. Because the fruits are tart are not rattling prissy to eat, unless you lot dip them in rojak sauce in addition to y'all tin can't consume all the fruits from the huge tree, they are left to drop together with waste matter away. one/3 of the pinkish tree'sec leaf grows into our compound, then, one/three of their fruits rot inwards our home. You may wonder why nosotros didn't merely sweep them away.. Well, they dropped into the fenced up expanse that we grew our mango trees. it's mulchy too non a prissy place to walk inward, and so acquit alongside it. These trees too attracted lots of bees, non forgetting weaver ants. You tin can't imagine how happy nosotros were when they decided to chop downward the tree.

These wax apples I'thousand using today are a new breed from Thailand that we take solely seen inwards the last x years. It's large and sugariness. I think no 1 volition desire to go out them on the tree to drop and rot. I won't mind if my neighbour'second tree grows into my garden :p I'll just choice them off and consume. No complains whatsoever.
