Sour snack - Jeruk/Asam

I'm a big fan of sour food (citrus, lemon etc) but I'm also a big fan of pickled fruits that can be either eaten with rice or just snack it on its own. Can even make drinks out of them. >_< Ones in my country are colorful at times. Other times dried and crumpled.

What about you?

Young mango pickle. Eat as it is.

Buah Salak (Salacca zalacca)

Typical jeruk/pickle stall in Malaysia

Asam boi - red/white or balck.Eat as it is or make drinks or ice lolly with it.

Acar buah - Fruit pickles to be eaten with rice

Acar sayur - Vege mix to be eaten with rice

Pics credit to its owners. I own none.

it's kedondong ^^

man I love these things so much. You know those carts that sell Jeruk in front of every Giant supermarket entrance?

I always seize the chance to buy some, the fresh guava + asam is my favorite .heck all of the bottom front row of the 4th picture are all my faves. MMMM, wish I can run to the nearest Giant and get some!

I took my SPM last year, funny how people always avoided jeruk/asam when it's due time to their SPM/PMR. I never did and nothing bad ever really happened to me. I still have a good brain here on my head. but then again...I could be smarter XD

and and those Acar Buah ( supposed to be acar buah, right? not acar sayur?) I always look forward to them during weddings, those are the only times I can have them.

I think this is the longest post I've made

why do they not have this here?

it looks so convenient the way it's organized

*drools*

it looks so gooooooood

i love sour stuff and pickled vegetables are yummy!

Yep, I've been told countless time not to take sour food because "they'll make you stupid". SO far I did fine even though I can eat them non-stop for days (or at least until my stomach disagree)!

It's called acar buah as it is made of cherries, raisins and all those tiny fruits things. I always steal the cherries away and leave the rest for my elders. >_<

Pretty sure you can get them at asian markets. Or make them yourself. The recipe is simple and quick - add vinegar.

about that acar buah, XD that was a mistake. Just below the picture of it is the name of the next dish, last time I came to this thread it didn't upload so I thought you named the acar buah, acar sayur.

Funny though, I've never had any acar buah with cherries/raisins in them. Were you talking about those red things in the picture? They're a type of plums you see

I had acar buah with raisins, probably because it's homemade by my grand mom and auntie. ^^ Yeah, I think its plum too now that I think about it. Taste like one of those jeruk I bought from Jusco.

i love pickled food. i heard my ancestors on my mom's side was really good at it and at one point owned a big pickled store. too bad i dont get along with that side :/
