Pomelo is the largest citrus fruit in the world. It is rich in vitamin C and potassium. During the mid-autumn festival, it is a traditional must-eat item along with the mooncakes. Pomelo symbolises family harmony and abundance.
As far as I know, the best eating pomelo comes from Tambun town near Ipoh in Malaysia. The soil and climate there produce the much sought after plump, sweet and juicy pomeloes. And the brand which I usually buy is Sunny Fruit. Recently, NTUC is selling the Sunny Fruit pomeloes at $6.99. What a steal! Sunny Fruit pomeloes are usually quite pricey and only sold at respectable fruit stores. I just bought one from NTUC and was pleasantly surprised to discover that its pulp is pinkish. Nice!
Hannah had tried pomelo about a year ago and didn’t like it. However, she was instantly hooked when I offered her some of Tambun’s pomelo today. *Yay* :) It’s nice to have someone in the family who can appreciate this lovely fruit with me.
May I know which ntuc u went to buy the sunny brand pomelo?
Hi Christine,
I saw them at all the NTUC outlets I patronised. I bought from the NTUC at Ang Mo Kio Hub and Hougang One shopping mall. I saw some at Hougang Mall NTUC too – those looked aged though. I’m quite sure those larger outlets will carry Sunny Fruit pomeloes. BTW too, I noticed that the Sunny Fruit pomeloes were not displayed together with the cheaper pomeloes. They were tucked away in a different part of the fruit section.
Not sure whether NTUC is still selling it now. I’m hoping to buy my 5th one – hee hee :)
