I just spent $20.50 on 14 strawberries and 500g of cherries. Freaking expensive I know, but the last time I bought cheaper fruits like apples (55cent) and oranges (60cent), the apple were still around even after 4 weeks.

cherries & mutant-sized strawberries

The strawberries were from Korea (called 香梅) and like most supermarket strawberries, they’re rather huge and crudely sized. But gosh they smelled so abso-fucking-lutely luscious and tasted even better! I figured at $9 a box for 14 berries, no one would be generous enough to spare me even one. So what the hell, I bought a box as an “early xmas gift” for mummy.

The cherries were really fresh and firm, but slightly less remarkable cos it wasn’t as ripe/dark as I would like it to be. Too bad I bruised some while carrying them home.

Wouldn’t it be really nice to give my girl friends each a box of Korean strawberries, plus a specially chosen bottle of OPI nail polish? I pretty sure they would appreciate the berries more over a bag of candies. :)
