Many fruit vendors work hard plying the streets on foot, balancing a long pole with baskets at each end on their shoulders.
I stopped one & bought 2 kg of Mangoes (10 Mangoes) . Then I noticed a fruit I had not seen before. It was green in colour, like an apple but rounder. I was curious to taste them and the vendor was obliging enough to let me swap two of my mangos for two of these fruits. They had a bitter & sour taste which didn't appeal to me or my children and looked pretty bad (off white) after I cut them open them a few days later.
The mangoes however, were delicious. Unfortunately, they didn't travel well and a few were bruised by the time I got them back to Malaysia. Next time I'll just buy my mangoes at the local pasar malam!
I've since found out the name of the mysterious fruit-it is called the star apple. Please see the picture of what it looks like. The pulp of the fruit was off-white, similar in texture to a custard apple and came with large black seeds. My take on it is that I much prefer the taste of custard apples or sour-sop anytime.
After some gentle bargaining, I got my mangos at 21,000 dong/kg.

Although most hotels offer bottled water in the rooms, it is usually twice (or more) as expensive as it is in a supermarket.
A large bottle of water will cost around 5-6000VND in a supermarket as opposed to 15000VND+ in a hotel of tourist shop. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

Many different colours of Johnny Walker, ranging in price, the red label went for around US$17, up to the blue label, around US$160 (prices current March'08)
I was happy to stick to the beer, much cheaper.
