Has anyone seen how fresh dates look like? Well, I haven't till yesterday. On the way back from lunch at the usual place with the usual suspect, I saw a few people flocking at this stall membelek-belek this fruit. Usually, stall ni jual jajan, raisins, asam and dried dates. Out of curiosity, I stopped and asked the kakak, "Buah apa ni, kak?" "Fresh dates, dik dari Madinah" the kakak replied. Another person asked how does it taste. Kakak tu rasanya kelat. Teringin jugak nak rasa, so I bought some. Mahal jugak fresh dates ni, RM4 for every 100gm. I bought about RM30 bila fikirkan mak akan datang ke rumah hari ini. Bolehlah rasa kut-kut dia tak pernah rasa.
Sampai kat office, aku letakkan plastik berisi fresh dates tu di atas meja. Rasalah sebijik dua, rasanya taklah kelat sangat tapi campur rasa lemak manis jugak. It drew attention a few colleagues yang turut merasa. Some like it, some don't. Well, terpulanglah. Different people ada citarasa yang berlainan. Siapa teringin nak rasa, carilah sendiri yea....

Kurma segar dari madinah ( kalo gak salah ) rasanya saya pernah makan waktu ibu pulang haji.
Memang sesiapa yg pulang dari Mekah akan bawa pulang kurma tapi selalunya yang sudah masak ranum dan berwarna coklat gelap. Jarang lihat yang masih fresh. Terima kasih kerana sudi menyinggah ya..
Nurul, dates is one of my fav fruits. I always keep dates in my fridge... 3 benda yg wajib ada kat rumah... buah kurma, madu, dan cinnamon powder. dont ask me why.... but semua benda tu boleh dijadikan penawar... kalau org2 Melayu, selalunya kena ada asam & garam..... i ni dah macam Arab celup. :P
Rush - sahlah Arab celup nih...tapi makan dates and madu ni kan elok but cinnamon powder? I put dates in my fruit salad. The more the better. Tapi yang fresh dates ni I like the yellow one. Nak beli fruits lagi 2 do fruit salad lagi and stock in the fridge and also 4 buka puasa. Taklah berat sgt makan bila pergi terawih nanti.
