Ambra juice 莎梨果汁

In Penang, the Hokkiens call the fruit ‘ambra’, apparently derived from its common name 'ambarella'.  In KL, the Cantonese call it '莎梨'.  The Malays call it 'kedondong'.  Over the South China Sea, the Sarawak’s kedondong are much bigger, and they too have different name : ‘buah kunõng’.

Ambra juice /莎梨水 is easily available all over eatery in KL and Penang, but not in Sarawak.   It is best served chilled with a preserved sour plum / 酸梅.

Ongrizinal Pineapple Juice 王子の黄梨汁

Add 300mL of chilled water to 300g of pineapple in a blender.  Blend till it smoothes.  If the pineapple is sourly, add in some sugar. 

I have yet to encounter a very sweet pineapple.  The sweetest of all still carries a bit of sour taste.  So, I would add a tablespoon of sugar to my concoction.

Chilled water is added, rather than ice cubes, as I wish to have a watery juice, not a ice-blended.  I wouldn’t want to chill the juice in the fridge, as the fibrous part would float on top.  I also wouldn’t want to add ice cubes to the juice to dilute it.  So, chilled water is the best choice.  In fact, I pre-chilled the pineapple in the fridge prior to the blending. 

Instant chilled Ongrizinal pineapple juice !

Passion Fruit Juice

Passion fruit is Passiflora edulis, a vine from the New World, from the family Passifloraceae. 

The fruit is acidic ( which I don’t like ), yet with rich aroma.  

GuoHao gave me some passion fruit , and I decided to make it into passion fruit juice.  First I extracted the pulp from 2 fruits, mix it with a glass of water, add some sugar, and served chilled. 

Nice !
