Taiwan 2010 II

One thing that I still can't get used to in Taiwan is the fruits, they look so different from the ones I buy in T&T and Nesters Market. So yesterday, mum treated me hot pot for lunch. And there was a place where you can blend and mix your own sauce, beside the desserts area. While I was making my own, I found some lemons, they were quite huge actually, at first I was wondering why they would have lemons there, then I figured that perhaps Taiwanese people would add some lemon just to have that cool flavour, so I took some with me back to the table.

While I was squeezing the lemon into my sauce, I smiled and felt so proud that I'm doing something Taiwanese. I noticed that the cutie waiter was looking at me, then I thought "oh I must be doing well!" Then mum came back with her own sauce, and she watched me finishing draining the rest of the lemon, that's right, I used the whole lemon! After I'm done, mum said, "you know, that's actually an orange".

"WHAT" I thought that was so gross.

"Yeah......*sips soup*.... didn't you know?"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER?"

"I thought that's why Canadians do"

My face expression told her no

"hey you never know, it might taste good"

But really, that orange did not look like an orange at all, the skin was not thick enough to be an orange!
