Looks like a small coc
Lemon
trái cóc?
Kumquat in sugar with little strands of cam tha?o ( I don’t know the English translation of this ), may be ?
Cam Thao (derived from Chinese word Gan Cao) is the root of the Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, commonly termed liquorice root. My parents eat these balls of what I believe to be prune paste and cam thao for medicinal purposes.
Now that htran has mentioned it, it does look like cam thao with perhaps dried apricot? Hahaha.
I have no idea but I love the blue nailpolish and the mod background!
Is the background mod? It reminds me of Austin Powers! I’m not very with it, but I guess these type of designs are becoming in again! Don’t know what the fruit is.
dried kumquat with shreds of dried ginger? more common in the north, no? i may be out of my league here.
Oh, no! Is there no new post today because we didn’t guess right?! I’ve gotten used to waking up every morning with a new food report from VN. Unless Gastronomer has really tiny fingers, that’s probably a dried lime half with cam thao instead of kumquat. Please feed my food porn addiction!
Graham - excellent guess, but no cigar
RR - you’re getting warmer…
Htran - you’re getting even warmer…
foodhoe - Thanks! YM paid me in nail polish a couple summers ago when I was an intern. And the “mod” dress is from Chinatown, HCMC
SK - What’s in a name?
yenniet - you’re in the right fruit family…
Tia - WOOT! Congrats! Click here for your prize!
Hey, by the look of your lime, I thought that “dong” was a slang for
blue nailpolish makes me curious how you look like!
