| Me holding a branch of star apples |
I grew up knowing what star apples look like, but for my entire 21 years of existence I never tried to eat one star apple. My mom loves to eat this fruits, she would always force me to eat even just a little bite but I won't. Not until February 21, 2015 when my classmate wants me to join them go the house of our school librarian at Brgy. Ayaman Cabatuan Iloilo.
It was my first time going to Cabatuan and the first time I went out with my classmates. They told me they are going to pick fresh star apples directly from the three. Star Apple Tree bears much fruits during February and March. Out of curiosity on what star apples taste like, this time I am going to eat one for a change.
So there we go we picked almost bucket full of sweet rounded violet star apples comes with different sizes. It was an afternoon of fun talking and eating this wonderful fruit.
I always told myself that there is always a first time for everything and Indeed it is so true.
Cabatuan also offers their one best food known as "tinuom" best served in seazers talabahan and leah's tinuom. I'll be writing a separate story for this so keep in touch with me.
How to go to Cabatuan?
If you're living or staying in Iloilo City proper you need to ride an Ungka CPU Jeepney going to Ungka Terminal then transfer to a jeepney going to Cabatuan. Or you can ride a taxi.
