Souring our love for Solaris Dutamas, this cheerful little shop is an Aladdin's cave for pursuers of preserved food products.
From guava to grapes, papayas to plums & mangoes. RM5 for 200 grams, RM12 for 500 grams, RM30 for 1.5 kilograms.
Vividly colourful, potentially piquant & pungent.
It's not all about fruits though. Also available: Garlic for RM7, olives for RM15.
For something sweeter: Dried fruits that cost about RM12 per bottle, spanning the likes of kiwi fruit, cranberries & apricots.
We picked & packed some pickles up & paired them with a wine dinner graciously hosted by Prakash of Wine Daddy.
Prakash is blessed with the services of a gifted cook who whips up quite the spread.
Pick Your Pickles' olives & garlic? Delicious.
Their dried fruits proved enjoyable too; an addictive snack, absolutely.
And of course, wine makes it all indisputably better.
