We were curious how this pomelo differs from the one we have in the market, so we decided to buy it. They say it's lucky to have one this CNY. I believe so! Sabi nga nila, di naman masamang maniwala dba?
The pomelo or Chinese grapefruit is a citrus fruit, larger than a grapefruit, with sweet flesh and thick spongy rind. Pomelo symbolizes abundance and prosperity, in Cantonese the word for “pomelo” sound like the word for “to have”. The green pomelo, which becomes yellow when ripe, is a common sight in the shops before the Chinese New Year. It is a delicious fruit, and the rind can be used in Chinese cooking. The Chinese believe it is important to have at least one pomelo in the house for decoration, or better still, to have a pair, since good things always come in pairs. To use a pomelo to decorate one’s home during the New Year implies a wish that the home will have everything it needs the coming year.
Oops! hindi nga kami Instik...pang decoration lang pala ito! *wink*
Anyways, the fruit tasted good! Sweet and juicy! yumyum! Does it mean there's no more luck?
I have already moved...(oops! excuse me)
