Sweet 16 Pineapple, $2.50 at all leading supermarkets
I used to think pineapples and sour were synonymous with each other, sweet only when in season and that only applied to pinesapples found in Bangkok. Until we chanced upon the "Sweet 16" breed of pineapples, eating pineapples have never been the same since. A bite into the enticing golden yellow flesh reveals a fragrant explosion of sweetness, (definitely not exaggerating here!). There's something about the Sweet16 pineapples are different from the usual ones, tastes quite like a hybrid of pineapples and say...pear fragrance. Fruits never tasted this good, the ultimate thirst quencher.
Now, who gives two hoots about canned pineapples anymore? I'll gladly stick to Sweet 16!

Hwaseong South Korean Grapes, $5.95 for 400g at Cold Storage
I first read about them in Urban, the lifestyle insert in Life! last weekend. They're grapes from South Korea. Very different from the normal grapes that I usually eat, these round grapes are bouncy to the touch. I was very tempted to bounce them off the table. Taking a bite of the rubbery bouncy fruit, the skin is peeled of so easily! Unveiling fruity juicy flesh inside. The juices overflow from the jelly like fruit, it's "toink toink" as the article promises. Chewy grapes are a first for me, or "QQ" as the taiwanese would say. The grape isn't entirely sweet but there's a sourish zesty twang to it, having the mom exclaim "just like fanta!". The best part of it all, the seeds aren't easily crushed leaving a bitter aftertaste like normal grapes. The seeds can be removed from the long thread of stem that allows it to be "picked" from the core of the grape. I've also introduced them to E who was so amused with my enthusiasm over such a fruit.
