The green type of 'cat's-eye' has thicker flesh. I like it more than the yellow type (see pics 2 posts ago).
This brown fruit is also supposed to be a variety of longan. The seed is similar to the cat's-eye seed but the outer shell is hard and crisp. You need to whack it real hard to break it open. Unlike the common longan and the cat's-eye longans, this variety is not as juicy. It has a sweet, drier taste. Love it.

On an unrelated note, The Reel Yelloe Kitteh came around again yesterday. He seemed to miss me and was following me around in the backyard, meowing, wanting to be patted but I didn't want to anymore, since he bites.

Teh kitteh speaks fractured Old English hehe.
Of course I forgive the clueless kitteh.
But am not patting him anymore for safety reasons :)

T.R.Y.K. is the neighbours' cat in the hometown.
the kitty is too cute not to be forgiven. ^^
ReplyDeleteTerry: Yes, he's really quite adorable except for the biting and scratching.
