okOriginally posted by Wanda:Go for it lor...convenient when u travel in Taipei nxt mth....no need to carry so much cash. Whenever u buy things, can charge to the card, so will get points, altho' points are subsidiary, it's the convenience of not having to carry too much cash. -

Once, on a backpacking trip to Xinjiang (China), the train journey was so long & tiring, that we decided to fly domestic back to Chengdu (instead of by train), but we din have enough cash or travellers' cheques for that unplanned flight. So I went to the main HQ of bank of China and asked to withdraw cash by charging to my cr card. The staff had never done this b4, and had never seen Sg cr cards, but they finally allowed it after I talked to the manager, all bec they know the visa or mastercard logo, and base their trust on that logo.

If we bring back, it will be a rotten fruit! The hamid gua there are very ripe - the sweet flesh grows right down to the outer skin ...unlike the sg ones which has a thick layer of skin. We wanted to eat a slice, but had to buy the whole fruit. At RMB4 (S$0.50)...my hubby eat until next day LS.
See the thin skin

a few weeks back they were having offer on aussie cantaloupe but then not sweet at one one -
It's bees lah, not flies. Where was the offer?Originally posted by poon cho tang:no wonder LS, got flies one

I think the cantaloupes sent to Sg tend to be harvested too early, so cannot ripen properly....so x and yet not nice one...better off eating the Sun Honeymelon from M'sia which is close to the crunchy texture of hamid gua...and cheaper too.

M'sia's is call tai4 yang gua (Sun honey melon), looks something like the below (round and orangy-yellow) but the flesh is pale orange like hamid melon and crunchy...nice!
I think there's another hamid melon from Spain or somewhere (with dark green patterned skin), which fairprice sells occasionally...it was served as dessert once during my trip, but not my fave as it's soft soft nua nua one. -
