First it was square melons, then they came up with heart-shaped melons... and now we have Buddha-shaped pears! At 50 yuan each ($7.32), would you even consider buying one?
It's kind of scary seeing those hanging Buddhas from the trees, especially if you bump into them at night, but it is interesting at the same time. I think they would make great gifts. It won't be long before they come up with all kinds of shapes, perhaps even our own face. Now, that would be awesome!

Heheheh :) very cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! How do they do that? :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, how awesome are those? I can't imagine how they could get them to grow that way. No way would I pay that much for one though, I'm cheap....lol
ReplyDeleteThat's a really clever idea. Wonder how they di that.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute to see but scary to eat a "buddha"!
ReplyDeletethat is one really cool pear.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will feel guilty eating the pears. Oh, they eat the pears or buy them to put in their home.
Kalau Rizal minta mereka buatkan pokok yang berbentuk langsuir, pontianak kat pokok tu. Boleh selamat kebun tanam pokok malam malam. Hehehe
now, i dont think i want to eat that pears. i'll feel guilty of eating a meditating Buddha.. :) But, still it is impressive & cute.

ReplyDeletesister-in-law Jen say alot but no helping anything ...
ReplyDeleteJust how the heck did they achieve that? Like that I also want one in the shape of a spaceman ... LOL!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment, thank you for your concern, I'm touched. Thank you.
I find the Buddha pears so cute! I bet they won't last long cos fruits normally get rotten when overriped. How did they do that? :-)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Chef Eureka! Welcome to Mumblings :) Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteSasha ~ A farmer used a special mould/mold. You can read the story in the link provided at the bottom of the post :)
Ann ~ I'm cheap too! I'd buy the normal and cheap pears anytime :)

ReplyDeleteDora ~ Yeah... good for display on prayer tables though.
ReplyDeleteRizal ~ Indeed! :D Langsuir?? Arrghhh... *lariiii*

Hitesh ~ Yes, it's real. Not photo-shopped! :D
Anny ~ Wooooooooooo!! LOL!

ReplyDeleteMaslight ~ Maybe can use it for Halloween props kan.
Monica ~ Me neither Mon... me is cheapskate... hehe
Pinaybackpacker ~ For decorative purpose only :) Somehow the shape is not appealing enough for us to eat ya.
Diff.thinkr ~ You got that right! :)
ReplyDeleteEmila ~ Bentuk dolly ala Emila style... hehe
Charity ~ Yup, they're for real. You're most welcome Charity!
Marlene ~ One had better eat the 'Buddhas' before they get over-ripe then ya :) The farmers used moulds to get the desired shape.
Katherine ~ Wonderful indeed! :)
