Limau Tambun













Seen here, is a peeled Pamelo. The locals (Malaysian) call them Limau Bali / Limau Besar / Limau Tambun. Widely grown in South East Asia ~ Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand & China.

Pamelo comes from the citrus family. Like grapefruit ~ only it's much bigger, thicker in skin, luscious flesh, high nutritional value (although some Chinese believes it's "Sup Yeet" (in Cantonese which means heaty) and taste much better. There are 2 types here (Ipoh, Perak State in Malaysia) ~ sweet & bitter sweet. I prefer the sweet type.

Although in Ipoh, Pamelos are in abundance but we hardly ever buy them. Why ??! I wonder ...
We (Lil' Sistah & I) only realised last night (after buying) that we have taken this luscious fruit for granted ...

So ... it is with life.
What we have in abundance we do not appreciate! yet we go around longing for something else we do not have. Something to ponder upon ... in relation with our lives, too.
