about baby rambutan
spiky bright red Malayan fruit, with soft, sweet and juicy flesh, and a stone pit.
Filipino in Boston, lizard in the snow: notorious nosher, quack psychologist, losyang, diabetic-in-denial, swimmer.
they gave the spiky haired baby the nickname…
“…because i wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if i could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when i came to die, discover that i had not lived. i did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. i wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life…” –h.d.thoreau
“to mold and create something beautiful, to work in a wholesome environment and devote oneself to a task which uplifts and fills the soul with peace and harmony, strikes me as ideal.”–lolo amado.
also because…
“the unexamined life is not worth living.” –Socrates.
the photos are not always visible on the older posts…please visit the other incarnation of baby rambutan. there is always hope that i’ll transfer them, someday….
the photos are way down below on the older posts, please scroll down, i apologize because i don’t know how to fix that.
i like to eat, so i learned how to cook.

I was wondering where can you pick up some rambutan around New Jersey?

hi, i’ve only seen the fresh fruit here in my area ONCE a couple of years ago. there are plenty of canned rambutan at the Asian groceries.
best bet would probably be Manhattan Chinatown. GOOD LUCK!

hi Karen, can you tell me more about the jar and what the labels say? that would be quite helpful. “baby coconuts” might mean young coconut “buko” in Tagalog,which would be a grated silky soft version, probably sweetened. it is usually added to salads and sweet rice treats.

rambutan that exotic fruit…..bought some at montreal chinatown! the cheapest way to feel youre in paris. with the euro dollar now, i just take the train up north from new york city. it’s the only chinatown where you can find exotic fruits from dragon eyes to lychees and longans. the new place i’m working now
10 blocks to the buddhist temple is aligned by chinese restaurants, bakeries, fruit and vegetables stall all over…..but havent sen rambutans. perhaps its not in season. there is only one country i know where fruits are always in season…from lanzones to atis…thats thailand! 
happy birthday to dash…the ginger bread kid on the block.
