Fruit-of-the (new) Day


Hồng xiêm, the local version of sapodilla. Happily I can buy those at the market 50 meters from my house. If they are not quite ripe, they are firm and have the very strange property of, in spite of being juicy, making your mouth dry up. Well ripened they are soft, consistency like a ripe pear maybe, with a sweet caramel-ly taste. MMMMM. :)
