Do you eat to live or do you live to eat? This is the question that people often ask to understand what you value as a person. I live to eat. The taste, the aroma of all these dishes dancing on your tongue is a dream of its own. I guess that's why I've been rapidly moving in the food reviews category recently.
At the same time, not all food are good for your body. Delicious dishes like pizza are often bad for you. Thus, I'm dawdling into the health food category to make your food work for you. In the previous health food review, I touched on Acai Bowls, a wonderful bowl that is high in anti-oxidants and low in carbohydrates. In this post, I will be introducing a variety of fruits.
Remember when you're young and your mother kept nagging you to eat your fruits and vegetables? There's a reason for that. Fruits and vegetables are known to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke and even prevent some types of cancer. They provide important vitamins and nutrients ensure your body works properly. This is especially important if you hate going to the doctors. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Exotic Tropical Fruits
As a person that have sweet tooth, fruits are always a treat to me. I consume apples, pears, oranges and even kiwis on a regular basis. So much so that, I'm getting tired of the ordinary fruits diet. Thus, I decided to spice things up and order some exotic tropical fruits from Fruits Delivery Singapore instead. With a curious mindset, I also ordered one of those fruits juice in the premium glass bottle that I always look at but never get.
When the order arrive, it came in a Kiwi box with a cute blue bow on top. I thought the bow was such a cute addition to the order. They even cling wrap the items in place such that it looked like a fruits hamper. That was such a thoughtful and beautiful way to present the order. Before I continue with the review, let me introduce more about Fruits Delivery Singapore first.

Fruits Delivery Singapore
Coming back to my order of exotic tropical fruits and drink from Fruits Delivery Singapore, I got myself 5 items:
- USA Dinosaur Grenade (3 pcs)
- Custard Apple (L)
- Ecuador Yellow Dragonfruit (M)
- Soursop Platter - Changed to Watermelon Platter
- Japan Pomelo Juice (500ml)
Japan Pomelo Juice (500ml)
Since Yuzu season is round the corner, I decided to get one of the luxury looking Japan Pomelo Juice. I have chosen the Pomelo juice for Pomelos or also known as Yuzu are known to boost immunity and prevents premature aging. It is highly nutritious and contains powerful antioxidants. It also contains Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B5 and more.
Japan Pomelo Juice Review
The Japan Pomelo Juice comes in a long mattee glass bottle with a gold foil top, resembling a bottle of alcohol. A bottle opener is needed to open its tight seal. When opened a fresh Yuzu smell tickles my nose, enticing me to have a sip straight from the bottle. However, I held myself back and gently pour it into a cup before gulping it down instead. The Pomelo Juice tasted concentrated and sweet. Due to the thickness of the juice and the slightly bitter after taste, I believed that some part of the membranes were blended in to make the juice as well. The good thing about having such a thick juice was you can mix it with water to make it last longer. I do enjoy the pomelo juice for its tropical taste but I understand how it will only appeal to specific people due to its aftertaste.
Ecuador Yellow Dragonfruit (M)
Pink dragonfruits are a common sight here but yellow dragonfruits are something special to me. Yellow dragonfruits strengthen immunity and help with cardiovascular health. Its seeds have omega 3 fats that helps with fungal and bacterial infections and autoimmune diseases in organ systems.
Ecuador Yellow Dragonfruit Review
The yellow dragonfruit is of a white-fleshed variety. There is a slight crunch to it that made it resemble a kiwifruit texture. The dragonfruit have a mouthwatering sweetness that melts into your mouth with every bite. The juices from the flesh floods your tastebuds as the seeds shatters to the pressure of your bite. According to my mother, the yellow dragonfruit was a little bit old for the seeds are hard. Plus, the dragonfruit was not sour at all. That also determines the age of the dragonfruit since fresh dragonfruit tends to be a bit sour. On the other hand, I do enjoy this dragonfruit as it is for the sweetness, juiciness and slight crunch to it makes it such a delightful and healthy snack to have.
Custard Apple (L)
Custard apples, an exotic fruit that looks like a dragon egg. Ever since I've discovered the existence of custard apples, I've always wanted to try them. However custard apples are not commonly sold in the supermarkets here. In fact, the last time I saw a custard apple was in Mustafa and that is considered an insanely far location for me. Luckily on Fruits Delivery Singapore, they sell exotic tropical fruits such as custard apples too.
I got a large custard apple that arrived to be bigger than the size of my palm. It was huge! The custard apple came unripe thus we have to wait a few days to a week before we can consume it. Aside from its exotic looking exterior, the custard apple is a very beneficial fruit for us. They contain Vitamin C and Vitamin A. These Vitamins helps your body fight free radicals and they keep your skin and hair healthy. At the same time, they are a treat for those that love sweets but they might be a problem for those who are looking to lose weight. It have 28% sugar so if you have too much custard apples, you may see some weight gain.
Custard Apple Review
The custard apple was a pleasant surprise. As a virgin custard apple consumer, I did not expect the custard apple to smell like sweet corn. It have a crunchy pear texture with a flavour that resembles soursop and corn. The intense sweetness and slight sourness made it feel like a circus erupted in my mouth. The excitement that I felt when the custard apple somersault was indescribable. Instantly, the custard apple top the charts as one of my favorite exotic fruits.
Watermelon Platter (450g)
If you're looking at this and wondering, what's so exotic about watermelon? They are one of the most common fruits you find in Singapore. You are right. There's nothing exotic about a platter of sliced watermelon. In fact, I didn't order them at first. I ordered a platter of soursop.
On the day of the delivery, I got a call informing me that the soursop platter that they have was not fresh so they can't deliver it to their customers. Therefore, they gave me a list of fruits to choose from and I immediately jump on the opportunity to get a platter of watermelon. I think it was thoughtful and ethical of them to make the decision to not sell stale items even though it may cause them their profit.
As for the watermelon, I love watermelon so I would seize any opportunity to get a platter of watermelon. What is there to not like about watermelon? They quench your thirst while replenishing your body with the vitamins you need. Each bite of watermelon contains 92% water and 6 percent sugar. It is a good source of Vitamin C, rich in an amino acid and lower blood pressure.
Watermelon Platter Review
On the external cling wrap of the watermelon platter, there were instructions of what temperature you should chill the watermelon and a best before date. There were enough watermelon slices for 3 person on the platter and each slice were cut in the shape of a medium sized triangle. The watermelon was fresh, juicy and sweet. The perfect healthy snack to quench your thirst and fill your belly.
USA Dinosaur Grenade (3 pcs)
The last exotic fruit on the list is three pieces of USA Dinosaur Grenade. Although they look like a version of plum, its curious name still got me puzzled so we got them.These Dinosaur Grenades are a variants of Pluots. They are a cross between an apricot and a plum that are nutritious and low in fat. They are also known as Dinosaur eggs in other places. The USA Dinosaur Grenade comes in a pack of 3 in a see through plastic container.
USA Dinosaur Grenade Review
The USA Dinosaur Grenade had the texture of a plum. It was firm but mushy at the same time. It had a smooth skin and a juicy flesh. Unlike the plum, when you reached the center, there were no seed. As this is a hybrid fruit, I was able to see different colours in the flesh. Although it is in the pluot family, I find it to be sweeter than the usual plum. In fact, it even tasted like honey. If you're into plums, the USA Dinosaur Grenade is a great hybrid for you to try.
