Strawberries

Cunningdevil, Yuri & Yours truely were at Carrefour to get some of the missing ingredients for the family gathering in my home at Tampines. One of the highlights is the chocolate fondue which includes fruits like apples, bananas & strawberries. Another item not to be missed are th mashmallows!!! Yummy.

As we were searching for the strawberries, we cane across two varieties. One of them is from Egypt, there other I have forgotten. The packet on the left is the cheaper variety, which cost around SGD$3 while the packet on the right cost SGD$10!!! You really get what you are paying for. The colours are more radiant, the strawberries are larger & even the packaging makes it more "atas".

In the section where the cheaper strawberries were placed, there were loose strawberries everywhere & open containers as ugly S'poreans opened up the packaging & try to mix & match the better looking strawberries into the container they want to purchase. However in the dearer strawberries section, everything was in order. Sigh. Why do ugly S'poreans behave in this way?

Anyway we bought some of each & throughly enjoyed the strawberries. Another thing to take note. Strawberries spoil really quickly, even when stored in the refrigerator!!!

Ja neh!!!
