I have just tried two new things: jack-fruit and Lod-Chong, which is a dessert. Lets check out the Fruit de Jack first. When not divided, the "thing" is actually huge, resembles a longish pumpkin except the color and and the spiky surface (hmm... maybe there is no likeness between the two after all). The tricky thing is that, once opened, there are many "mini-versions" of the big mama inside. The smell is not too attractive, but it tastes good - I would say it tastes like a mixture of bananas and pineapples. Rather sweet and sticky too.
Lod-Chong is a dessert, which causes the immediate reaction - there is no way I'm eating that! But, as we all know, first impressions can easily be very very misleading and subjective (though I still must admit that the image of some green "stuff" swimming in some "white" stuff is not very appetite awakening :P). Basically, Lod-Chong consists of green dumplings in sweetened coconut milk sauce; why the dumplings are in that particular (slightly unattractive) shape is a mystery to me :)
P.S. It is served with ice in it.
