Big Purple Mangoestine... My love!!!!!
When I was around 3 -4 years old, I will always sit beside my grand ma, mom or my dad when ever they were eating mangoestine. I will just patiently sit there and watch them open the fruit and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The next thing I do is just to open my mouth big and wide and wait for the big spoon full of yummy juicy mangoestine enter my watery mouth.
Sometimes I was so greedy that i quickly eat up the magoestine and open my mouth again before they even open the second fruit. My grandma will sometimes scolds me and say " Wa pek be hu lu chiak!!!" (I open not fast enough for you to eat!!!!) But most of the time she will just laughed at me and said to my mom or aunt "Lu kwa, e qui chui siang ka chiau kia di tan chaik aneh khuan!" (You look, she opens her mouth just like a baby bird waiting for food!" Okay, that was how my grandma spoiled me!!!
Yummy! Yummy! It's so delicious until I cannot open my eyes while eating it.
As for my dad, he opens mangoestine for me even during my University years. He taught me how to open them before but I am too stupid to get the skill, I am just clever in eating the flesh. He got impatient with me and he rather opens it for me than watching and laughing at my fail attempts in opening the fruit. It's my mom that successfully trained me in the skill of opening the fruit (Thanks Mom!!! Maybe she garang.Hehehe! Now I can open my own fruit!!!)

Many years had passed since my grandma passed away and this is the first time in my whole life, that I managed to buy some mangoestine with my own hard earn money and this makes the mangoestine taste even more delicious than ever. (I had it all to myself as well)
See? I had one big plastics bag of mangoestine all to myself.
It was last Thursday and it rained heavily in the afternoon. Orange fetch me home and I suddenly told Orange that I want to eat mangostien since I don't have enough of it in the staffroom earlier on. It was very kind of her to accompany me all the way in the heavy rain, to buy the mangoestine from the auntie opposite the BSN. I brought 3kg of magoestine that cost me around RM10.
Wah see? nice juicy mangoestine!!! Make my mouth watery only.
