These strange pink coloured fruits purportedly from Vietnam. Have you taste them before? Many do not like them at their first try but with time, we condition ourselves to take them. Today they are put into fruit salads and in ice-cream.Just like kiwi fruits and avocado, dragon fruits are now part of my fruit repertoire.

Do give me your impressions?

welcome to mylot jon hope you like it here like most of us do. i tasted dragon fruit once only. i can say that i did not enjoy eating it but i cant say that i dont like it. the fruit looks very inviting but the taste doesnt match up with the cute appreance. it taste bland, or maybe i am the type who enjoys eating sour fruits. i never saw dragon fruit on ice cream yet so this i have to find and try.


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Roni,trust the food people, they make wonderful concoction with any edible thing around particularly fruits and veg. Thanks for coming by.

I know dragon fruit but I haven't taste it. Here in the Philippines it is very expensive because it is seldom in the market. It is like cactus and it is suitable to plant here. It is easily propagated but it costy P1,000 or more if you buy a seedling of it.

The first time I eaten this fruit was in Vietnam and I kinda liked it, I haven't tried it in salads or ice cream and I would like to try the ice cream one day. I am from the Philippines and you rarely see this fruit in the supermarket, sometimes there's is, but they quite expensive. I am living in Egypt at the moment and haven't seen this fruit here once. happy

I think the big hotels will have these fruits in their fruit salads. As the people need to acquire a taste for the dragon fruit,frequent eating will take away the novelty and acceptance would be easier.

I have eaten it a couple of times and am beginning to like its taste and texture. Thanks for sharing your comments.

They look very appealing, with purplish skin and whitish inside. However I still can't get used to eating them, especially with the tiny seeds inside. But they are delicious when blended with ice or made into fruit juices.


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Yes, at first just looking at it, you just do not know what to do and what to make of it. What do you it. the skin as well?

My wife had that quandary yesterday. She asked me how to eat this fruit as she had never eaten it before. So I told her-just cut the fruit into half and then scoop the whitish polka dot interior with a spoon. Discard the purplish skin.At first she did not believe me.

I guess she could have tasted the skin and found it disagreeable.Anyway, I was right.

Yes, I love dragon fruits, now we buy it everyday, and after meal, we will have it as desserts too... there are 2 colours, white and purplish.. and I prefer the white one actually... However I heard too much of this fruit, the seed will tend to stick on our intestine wall, and it is not easy to be removed confused


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

First time I heard about those seeds sticking on your intestine walls. Must be real careful not to go overboard. Perhaps there is validity in the statement, "Too much of a good thing is not good for you".Just went to TESCO Mutiara just now. These fruits don't come cheap. RM8.00 for two fruits. You have to be loaded to continue eating this prince of fruits!


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1168)   ranked 1,539 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

I got it from the shop near my house of 3 for RM10! heheh..


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Yeah,lucky you! I will shop around for better prices. The pasar malams do not seem to offer them for sale. Only the large supermarkets carry them. Poor me. Got to get use to pay the higher prices!


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1168)   ranked 1,539 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Should I inform you next time if I see good bargain around? lol

Yep i have tasted dragon fruit and like them. But i must say, the look is more appealing than the taste. It looks so nice, but the taste is just ok. Actually i never bought it to have one, but in resturants, and parties, i have had it many time... Its very very common fruit here,and is used for some religious purposes too(means offerings to god)


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Wow, I don't know that they are used as well as offerings for the Gods. So there must be seasonal demand for such fruits. Here they are trying it out more in fruit salads. Many local planters in Malaysia are planting dragon fruits as they do grow well especially in the soils in Pahang. As such lately, dragon fruits has almost become an adopted native to Malaysian soil.

happyI never tasted the food from Vietnam before.I don't know about they are delicious or not.I think if they are cheap and accepted from your food government.You may try to buy.


myLot reputation of 98/100. jonjee0203 (1623)   ranked 50 out of 2,858 in fruit  4 months ago

Well, it is quite tasty once you get used to it. Purplish in colour,it has a white interior with tiny seeds. The interior pulp in edible and can be used in all food ideas. Thanks for dropping by, Busky.
