Everything everywhere all at once Summer fruit basket

We’ve been working the past few months going around various food fairs in Taipei, like the Taiwan Food Expo sourcing for new products. So it was a refreshing treat to finally set off on a road trip to the fruit farms in Taichung with our favourite fruit partner Ourtable ( 知果堂). 

What a bountiful trip it was! We had fun trip talking to Mr Sun, an ex-army regular turned pear farmer of the delicious Fengshui pears (豐水梨) and then returned to Taipei with this haul of in-season Taiwanese fruits.

This is like the gathering of the Marvel Infinity Gems!! Fruits of various shades of colour, with intense aromas, sweet, crunchy & thirst quenching or fatty types. There were pink-hued jambus ( not so common in Summer compared to Winter. The pink hue is so alluring! ), dragonfruit ( link season coming soon!), grapes from Changhua ( they give Japanese Kyoho grapes a run for their money), figs, pears, plums, peaches ( coming your way in August), Xishi mangoes, Aiwen mangoes, avocados - all in one basket. 

Truly, a fruitful summer to remember 😂. In a crowded marketplace like Singapore where fruits from around the world are easily obtained, is there a place for quality fruits from Taiwan? You tell us! Join us on a gastronomic tour of the flavours and tastes of Taiwan. Follow us on Facebook and IG.
