During our trip in Cameron Highlands dated 01/10/2008 to 02/10/2008. We bought several of these so called Crystal Apples. We bought this particular fruits from the night market located in Brinchang. Crystal apples tasted exactly like a sweeter version of a guava. I find it a bit odd when the sellers told us that we could eat it with the skin.
Cost per Crystal apple = RM 4.50, total cost = RM90.00 for 20
*Sounds like a good deal but I assured it ain't
Here are some photos of the said Crystal Apples:
1. Crystal apple in a clear plastic bag
2. Some of the crystal apples we bought
3. Crystal apples with the lighting from the fridge
Fortunately, someone in the restaurant we met warned us about the Crystal apples we just bought. Apparently, these are not real fruits at all! They were manufactured and can be discoloured easily when exposed to hot water.
We did some experiments and the results were exactly what has been described to us earlier. In the end, we did not eat any of them and just disposed them as we went home.
1. Close up look at how the green liquid is eating into inner area of Crystal apple
2. Notice the water is quite greenish and the discolouring continued
Please do not buy any of these Crystal Apples as they are not only artificial, they are quite poisonous if not mistaken.
I will blog more about the trip once I get the photos uploaded. In the meantime, heed this advice.....DO NOT BUY CRYSTAL APPLES.
Cheers
