I was at Central Market last Friday for fruit-shopping. Yea, not grocery shopping but fruit shopping. Anyway, bought a couple apples, kiwis & strawberries. When I got home, I couldnt help it but to snap pics of the apples and strawberries. You'll see why.... (& i duno why i cant get the header 'a mini apple' to move down if there arent words written here..pressed enter to move, but after publishing it's as if i didnt press enter at all)

A mini apple

A giant strawberry

Notice how the strawberry is almost the same size as the apple. Since we don't get things like this back home, I just had to take a picture. It's too cool to forgo it.

The whole lot of strawberries after de-stemming them. Those strawberries were the oddest i've seen. And the hugest. And also the most out of shaped strawberries. I guess the latter falls under "the oddest". Usually strawberries have that..near-heart-shape look..as in wide on the top and pointy at the bottom....ah. There IS one normal looking strawberry in that whole bunch of weird ones. If you look carefully, it's the one on the far left of the bowl. I think that's the only normal strawberry. The rest were really in the weirdest shapes. Some come in square, some even look like an ass. lol. I'm serious!! It's rounded in shape, and there was a line splitting the strawberry in the middle. Totally reminded me of a butt. Should have taken a pic of it..but it was large and ugly so no point taking.

And for those who love strawberries and chocolate, try this: cut yr strawberries into halves and then use a spoon and scoop one spoonful of nutella (of course it depends how much strawberries you have, cos one spoonful of nutella is a lot..using table spoon) and spread it onto the strawberries. Since it's not melted chocolate, it wont really stick to the strawberries but better than nothing right? You get your own chocolate semi-coated strawberries! A healthy way to satisfy yr sweet tooth. Of course, limit the nutella cos you'd tend to scoop another spoonful and eat the hazelnut choc off the spoon after that. I dont know about you but that's what happens to me...! *uhoh*

Or another healthier option - apples this time: cut a whole apple into pieces, maybe into quarterly pieces or however small you want it to be, and then using a spoon, the same thing with the strawberries except this time, it's not nutella but peanut butter! It won't stick as well, cos fruits have got a smooth surface or its just the spread which is unspreadable. Anyway, use a knife to spread the peanut butter onto the apple pieces like how you'd spread peanut butter on bread. It's yummy and more healthy than the nutella & strawberry option. Provided you use good peanut butter that is. As in, get the less fat one..yada yada...otherwise some peanut butter spread may contain more of those unhealthy fats if you get those cheap ones. So yeh..a dessert/snack full of protein and fibre and a lil carbs. HEALTHY!

Lol. I wasn't meant to include these so-called dessert/snack ideas but at the last minute, decided to spice up this entry with something interesting that others might like to try out and enjoy as well..cos i do enjoy them! (otherwise i wouldnt have bothered sharing). Of course the strawberry and nutella one is way better...
