When I saw the Sarawak pineapple that Wuan bought from the fruit shop last weekend, I asked her to let me take a few shots of it before she cut it up. It has been a long time since I trained the Nikon D60 with the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G on anything interesting. The Speedlight SB-600 was attached with the flash bounced off the ceiling. Despite appearing overly ripe, the pineapple was sour without any hint of sweetness. I was disappointed, especially after hearing about how sweet Sarawak pineapples could be. Nevertheless, my appetite for shooting was satiated, for the moment.

Barhi Dates

The Sharon persimmons and the barhi dates are my two favourite exotic fruits; exotic because they are imported and not available all year round. Currently, the barhi dates are widely available due to the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. One kilogram costs RM28 at roadside fruit stalls but can fetch up to RM50 in upmarket fruit shops.
