: : Starfruits : :

Had a wonderful dinner at Auntie Mimi’s place. What did we have? Home cook gourmet food. I didn’t take any pictures as was too tired and was too hungry to stop and take the pictures. A run-down of the dinner menu :

Appetizers was just lettuce and some stir-fried prawn with

Stir-fried baby corn, broccoli, carrots, red pepper, lotus pods with oyster sauce.

Langkuas chicken from a Chinese Restaurant

Oyster omellete that was completely smothered with oysters. Wah!

Beggar’s chicken that was deboned before hand and baked with pork stuffing

Homemade durian flavoured ice-cream

Fresh starfruits from my Uncle’s garden

Uncle was very kind to pass me 5 starfruits to bring back to enjoy with Granny. It was very sweet and juicy. A great thirst quencher on a very hot and sunny day.

Here is a picture of the starfruits. It’s not quite ripe yet as it’s still slightly green.

Now this was one is ripe, ready to be cut. You can see the shape of the starfruit at the end of the fruit.

Granny removed the green ridges/edges of the starfruit and then started cutting it so that the star-shape could be seen.

A plate full of delicious starfruit that is popped into the kitchen to be chilled. To be eaten in an hour’s time.

I remember a Lat cartoon showing people having headaches and stretching for a piece of starfruit that is supposed to cure headaches and migraines. Trying to find more information about it online, it was a long search but can’t seem to find the correct page. The ones that I did managed to find were (you need to press CTRL+F, type in Starfruit and press Enter) :

Quench the thirst and increase the flow of urine. Increasing the urine flow? Errr… I don’t even want to go there.

Something about eating food for trace elements in a toxic world? The article was about dealing with environmental illness/multiple chemical sensitivity (EI/MCS) and that eating starfruit was good for the health.

Getting rid of phlegm in the lung.

Well, had a headache this morning so took some starfruits. It immediately went away for a short while but came back again. Oh well.
