Dragon fruit: meh
After hearing raving reviews of dragon fruit (huǒ lóng guǒ 火龙果) by some of my foreign friends who had been to China before, I decided to give it a try today.
An unpeeled dragonfruit, probably one of the more interestingly shaped fruits I've seen here.
The seedy insides
Verdict: meh.
The taste was satisfactory, though a little too subtle for my liking. It was the texture that made it disappointing.
I’ve come to learn that I shouldn’t have high expectations for things like food in China, as I’ll probably be let down. On the other hand, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by foods that at first glance didn’t seem all too appealing.
