Thanks Jon and Tony for viewing this articles. Ya, those pomelo are fantastic when chill especially when it is sweet with a little sour taste. Jon, you are lucky to be able to get it so cheap, I took once when I was at Malaysia... very nice.

Great to see Ipoh's pomeloes doing well in Singapore.. Are they selling for 5 bucks each? I am lucky to get 10 ringgit for 3 and they super fresh..right from the source ;-). Thanks for sharing how Singaporeans celebrate the Lunar New Year..
