I never thought I'll be searching for any specific fruit until now. Maybe I'm being a bit too fanatic about Avocados especially since I've been wanting to make guacamole for weeks. Or at least, enjoy a fully ripe avocado with salad. I even brought a bottle of salad dressing last week but never got around to making a decent salad for myself.
So, I've been doing some research about how the avocados look like here. And to my surprised it isn't how I expect it to be. I mean I knew it looked like a pear but not like this. I think I did see it before at the local wet market but just realised it until now. Speaking to my colleagues, they explained that this is the local avocados and because it's in season, it cost approximately VND50,000 for 1kg. The smaller ones cost about VND20,000 for 1kg.
The ones I have here was taken from a supermarket near my office. They sell mainly imported goods and is catered for the foreigners like me. One glance at the price, I knew it was too expensive. I actually can't wait to go to the local wet market tomorrow; hoping to buy myself some local avocados. I've this craving for avocados and if I don't get some, I might just go in madness 😆
Have you ever seen avocados in this shape before? It's like a size of a papaya but shaped like a thin pear.
This is the one tag and weekly challenge that I try to make a point to join; not to mention that I'm also a fanatic when it comes to sight seeing or shopping in any form of market - indoors, outdoors, food, textile, accessories and etc.
