of Gula Batu Rambutans & solitary mangosteen...

 We are going to KL today to take my mother in law visit her daughter there.  Yesterday we cleared the rambutan tree from its sea of red, ripe rambutans. The reason for this is because nobody will be here to eat them...so we took down every single fruit, bunched them up in tiny bundles and plastic bags and gave them to our neighbours. Otherwise, if we do not do that, we will end up with rotten fruits scattered on the yard when we were away. So I guess, we get to do some charity (sedekah) and at the same time making sure our yard will be clean when we get back from KL..oh, the genius behind this is mama...she always thinks ahead..

of  GULA BATU RAMBUTAN....

This year her rambutan tree is doing well. The breed of this rambutan is called 'Gula Batu' (Rock Sugar) because it is so sweet, and the flesh does not stick to the seed. She planted two varieties of the Gula Batu Rambutan ~ the small sized and the big sized type. This year, it is the big sized type that is doing so well and bear huge amount of fruit. The  small size type is still developing its fruit, perhaps it is still a young tree, and so the fruit is a bit late in blooming.
of SOLITARY MANGOSTEEN....
Unlike her rambutan tree, the mangosteen is not doing so well this year. Yesterday, I only got a single peace of mangosteen...well, one is better than nothing , right? ;)
