Yesterday when my niece and my brother made a short visit, my niece said,"look at those, auntie Thelma has a lot of fruits." My brother answered jokingly,"yes, because she own a fruit farm.
. "Yes, the Tabuan (Sunday open market) is my farm," answered me laughing.
I went to the open air market and I have bought plenty of fruits to eat. My eyes were so big and I couldn't choose which one to buy and so I just bought what I could not eat in Germany. I bought 1 kilo of rambutan, a huge watermelon for my father and 2 Marang fruits.
Now I am making rambutan and watermelon smoothie for fighting against the heat of the weather. I made this for the first time and it was heavenly cold and delicious.
What kind of smoothie do you make at home to combat thirst?

First time I've heard of a 'rambutan' smoothie!
I usually cut up two medium sized pears, an apple, lemon, and some honey. I add some hot sauce for a much needed kick!

I have not eaten dragon fruit yet @ilocosboy. I might try that next time when I have time to do it and when I see it in the market.

@hereandthere yes, I want to know that too. I am interested to try it.
. We have loads of them in the open air market every Sunday and they are cheap.

i'm very curious about the rambutan, too. i mean, it's like a hybrid of lanzones and santol, right?

@wiLLmaH i know what rambutan is. i was describing it. the seed is as big as santol, right, but the flesh coating it is like that of lanzones, right? so i'm intrigued how she got the juice out of it. hope that's clearer now.

We have rambutan trees in our back yard and they're bearing fruits. They're very sweet and delicious.

I really like rambutans but I have to admit that this is my first time hearing about rambutan smoothie. Now that sounds like something I wouldn't mind trying!
