I Saw Fruits On A Stick in Malaysia
Would you buy this?
Many years ago, I visited Malaysia for the first time. Everything was so new to me. I loved the excitement of discovering what is hiding around the corner. That’s why I travel. In Malaysia, I was surprised by a lot of things. It is perfectly normal for Malaysians, but it’s amazing to me.
One of the things that intrigued me was how they sold fruit. You can see it in the picture above. They put it on a stick and you just choose what you like. Then they put it in a little bag for you. Depending on what you choose, you can also season it with some powder! I didn’t know what the powder was, but I thought the whole process was so fun. 😂
I didn’t have to cut fruit myself. I love to eat fruit, so I’m always peeling and cutting it. It’s so nice to have someone prepare it for you. You can never have too much fruit either. It’s especially refreshing when you’re feeling so hot in Malaysia.
I did wonder about the weather. They sold fruit like this in malls, but also outdoors. When the fruit was sold outdoors, I saw that they placed ice underneath it to keep it cold and fresh. I didn’t know how long that lasted, given how hot it was outside. I was sometimes a bit hesitant to buy it outdoors, in case the fruit was going bad!
Many of the stalls have a nice variety of fruit, but they usually choose fruit that’s easy to cut and sell on the sticks. Apples and melons are a great choice, because it stays nicely on the sticks. I never saw mangosteen being sold on sticks! I can imagine it would be quite difficult and messy to sell mangosteen this way.
I am completely delighted over fruit being sold in this fashion. I will continue to buy fruit when I’m visiting Malaysia! Did I mention the prices? It’s very cheap! I don’t remember the exact price, but it’s only a few ringgits. I think that’s totally worth it! Isn’t it a great idea to buy delicious and healthy fruit, instead of junk food?
You can easily incorporate something healthy in your diet while travelling!
