Fruit of the Dragon

One of the best things about living in this new locale is all the amazing fruit that we have access to.  What in the states is labeled as "tropical fruit" is just "fruit" to the people of Saigon.  We regularly head to our local fruit stand to pick out fruit for the week with one of our rules being that we must try something new, each time.  So far mostly everything we have tried has been delicious.  However, by far, there has been one standout -- the Dragon Fruit.

Not only is it a vibrant pink on the outside but the inside is different from any other fruit we have seen.  The average cost of this nectar from heaven -- 5,000 VND.

The fruit is bright pink and about the size of a hand.


It is slightly sweet, but not overly, with the perfect mix of crunch and softness.
