Another trip to the supermarket saw the resident suaku gawking in horrified surprise at these dudes. Not only were they a square bunch of watermelons, these dudes cost S$50 each. Lucky got no extra charge for touching them.

Next, we'll have hexagonal apples, triangular oranges, cylindrical grapes! How fun! And make no mistake, you must sell each one at $10 a piece, yo. Even the grapes.

Got no law against taking photos in the mart, right?

Those cubic-fruits originate from Japan i guess? I believe the cultivating process to get this shape is tedious.. hence the hefty price-tag yep.

Oh yea, sweet banana was yummy indeed! Smallest n nicest i've ever tasted.. haha..

Yeap. Other than novelty, i dunno WHY people want to go through such a tedious process to produce something people may not want to buy. But if people do, perhaps only once, or maybe bought only to be kept in a corner and not eaten because it's too precious. And then it rots. Buah ha.
Wonder if it has genetically modified extra nutrients.

Ha... Glad you like the bananas. :-DDD

Actually, yes, in a way. not genetically though. It's just some Japanese cake thingy. It's a nice spongy, banana shaped like cake with banana filling inside.

price drop loh lol. in 2002 when I went to japan on holiday these square watermelons were just invented according to the tour guide there. Last time its 100 bucks a pc. Supposedly according to her the square ones were easier to store in the refrigerator lol.
