FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY | Buddha's Claw or Buddha's Hand
I saw this fruit or vegetable last year when I first came to Vietnam. And that was in Hanoi and after that again in a resort in Da Nang.At that moment, I had no idea what it was. In some ways it looked like bananas so I thought it may be the local Vietnamese Bananas since their bananas here are very small; and they usually steam it rather than eat it fresh.

It wasn't until last week that I found out it's actually a fruit and it's called Buddha's Claw or some prefer to call it Buddha's Hand in Chinese (佛手柑), Japanese (仏手柑), Korean (불수감) and Vietnamese (Phật thủ). When it's still raw, it's green in color and when ripe, it turns yellow. In terms of smell, it has a citrus lemon like fragrant but it's actually tasteless. I haven't tried it before but from Mr Google, it's used as a pickle dish or made into a candy.

This is the first and last time I've ever seen this fruit. Till now, I've not come across it yet. Not sure if it's a seasonal fruit but it sure looks creepy 😎

Sometimes, we never know just what we'll find from the local market. Now, here is a mobile vegetable seller on her bicycle. This is very common in Vietnam. It's either on a bicycle, motorbike or some are even on push carts. One thing for sure, all is fresh and affordable. I quite fancy to buy from the vegetable sellers; never know what interesting vegetable I will find 😁
