Have you ever tasted Mangosteen before?
Strange looking, isn't it? errr...let's just call it exotic!
anywayyy...
They presented me with a platter of these exotic fruits in my room~
Mangosteen has no relation to a mango. Its origin is right here in the tropical
climate of South East Asia. It's soft, sweet, quite citrusy and so delicioussssss...

A lovely treat hidden behind a rather ugly exterior. That makes it even more delicious--don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI love your dramatic side; it's what we love about you (among a bunch of other attributes you possess).
Wow, crazy looking fruit!
ReplyDeleteWow so interesting! I had heard of them but had never acutely seen one. So thanks.... lovely photos & great description!
ReplyDeleteit looks like garlic..=)
ReplyDeleteIva,
ReplyDeletehah, you are so right; white & segmented just like garlic!
I've never had it but I believe you! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it but looks delicious! How fun!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've heard of it, but I had no idea what it looked like! Is it like lychee? Looks very bizarre in a GOOD way. I will try ANY fruit!! You're so cute, I love the added pic with the legs folded under showing us you are REALLY enjoying the yummy new fruit!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I have! It's good and it's a superfood so that's good enough for me :)
ReplyDeleteI like it. Did you open it with a knife? In Japan, some frozen mangosteens are sold but fresh is best for sure.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is very cool! I have to admit it almost looks scary at first, but you really can't loose with fruit. Now if it was a vegetable, I'd need some coaxing ;)

I could eat a bushel and a peck right this minute, Lenore Nevermore! I never tasted them but your pictures and description make me curious...and hungry! Have fun and stay safe, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteMhmmm...yummy!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
What a cool looking fruit! haha
ReplyDeleteThey sent them to your room like a queeen? I love your life!
ReplyDeleteWow! There are so many interesting fruits out there in the world. It kinda looks like chopped up bananas are inside it. Hee hee. I would like to try one!
ReplyDeleteExotic is the right description!
ReplyDeletewOW! It's an awful lot of husk for such a bit of fruit! Someday I will find that.. Looks delish.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, these look so yummy - and exotic! Have never seen or tasted them. But, that's the nice thing about being in some far away country - discovering things we don't know! Have a fun day in Singapore - must be so exiting!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. So different looking. But it sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteWOWZA...never tried them...would love to. they do look very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it matters what they taste like when they are already such visual ecstasy. Once again, mother natures philosophy appears to be too much is barely enough.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these. I'd love to find them and try one day!
ReplyDeleteps I need guest posts in a few weeks if you are interested. stop by for details!
Oh my. I've never seen it or heard of it. Now I want.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty! I have tried it - a long time ago - is it a little like lychee by any chance? XO's
ReplyDeleteMangosteen is awesome! And it helps with acid reflux :) Yay for random health tips!
ReplyDeleteI've had freeze dried mangosteen before and didn't like it. But I guess I'll give fresh a try. It's so weird looking!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is different but good uh....
ReplyDeleteBtw, on your header, is that a vintage Goyard trunk? Nice!
Curiously exotic and divinely fragrant. Love the photographs!
ReplyDeletepretty photos:)
ReplyDeletei want to try that ASAP

I've heard of it, but have never seen it. Now I've just got to try it!!
ReplyDeletewow those look delicious in the weirdest way!
ReplyDeletewish i could taste them!

There is always a moment in any day to indulge ourselves. This looks like one of them, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletei've never had it, but I love your reaction!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to try this Mangosteen! I love exotic fruits!
ReplyDeletexx.

woah, so interesting. i can't even imagine what it tastes like.
ReplyDeletemaww you made me smile! we have plenty of those here in the Philippines! I'm sure you'll love all the tropical fruits we have here! <3
ReplyDeleteThose look INCREDIBLE!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it, but I've never had it. I must look for it at the local asian market.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued now!
Oh Honey, sounds like you are having a great time already. The fruit looks intresting, and the inside reminds me of garlic cloves. But even better is your fabluous heels and that beautiful colored skirt!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVEEEEE Mangosteeeeen ♥
ReplyDeletethere's a game here to guess how many segments inside the mangosteen :P *because they're random, right?
aahhh... you make me wanna go to the nearest market and buy them! :D yes yes, we have lots of 'em here :P
I was obsessed with mangosteen ever since a NY Times article labeled it as the best fruit ever. I think I had my first one in Canada (US doesn't import though I think there are canned ones there). It is a fun fruit and delicious though it takes a lot of effort!

I ate these when I was in China and they were delicious! I wish we could get them here. I didn't know the English name for them until now, so thank you! It's fun to remember them:)
ReplyDeleteLucky you. Really cool - would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining Post Of The Month Club :) XOL
What a curious looking fruit. I have never heard of it, it looks a bit like lychee inside. Popped over from Happy Homemaker's, love Linda x
ReplyDeleteCalling by from Post of The Month Club, got to try these in China, but did not know this was what they were called.
