i used to grow 2 pomegranate trees in my backyard but i got rid of them coz the fruits weren’t sweet..my wife loves them but not me, she used to squash them over a mesh to get the juice for making her drinks. over here in melbourne not a lot of angmoh knows them but most indochinese grow them in their backyards.

I am crazy about them and the Spain ones are so much better than the previous Indian batch. We get them for RM2 each in KL at the night markets. You can use this method to whack the seeds out if you feel it’s diffcult to take it out manually. There are also some from USA in the supermarkets.

Bunga telur is given to guests at Malay weddings as eggs are a sign of ‘fertility’ to the newly wedded couple (similar to the Chinese wedding concept). Traditionally, pulut is also served at Malay weddings as pulut is also viewed as a ‘fertility’ sign.
