Australian Fresh Fruits: Now! In Season

Plump, luscious cherries; crisp, ultra-refreshing nectarines; peaches, apricots, plums & other stone fruits, bursting with naturally nectarous juices: Summer is in full swing in Australia, & the sun-ripened harvest from Down Under has swiftly reached Malaysian shores, bringing the season's best to selected stores. If you love fruits, this bumper crop is the way to go - safe, wholesome goodness that the entire family will greatly enjoy, the focus of a new campaign called 'Now! In Season,' a global initiative spearheaded by the Victoria State Government, Australian Government, & Horticulture Innovation Australia.

Thanks to the campaign for this sampling of fruits that we loved - a testament to distinctive produce at its peak, grown in quality soil, nurtured with continuously clean water, & cultivated to stringent health guidelines. Each bite felt like we'd plucked them straight off a tree in a Goulburn Valley orchard. You'll find these antioxidant-rich treats now at Village Grocer, Jaya Grocer, AEON, & Isetan KLCC; more temptations like table grapes & citrus fruits will come this year as the seasons change.

Milk The Cow @ Melbourne & Say Cheese @ Amsterdam

A cornucopia of cheese - check out Milk The Cow's Grundlegend Fondue (Grundlegend is German for ‘fundamental,' a fitting description, as this is the ultimate fondue), remarkably rich, blending Truffle Pecorino, Swiss Emmental, Gruyere L Etivaz, Remy Martin VSOP Fine Champagne Cognac, Monmousseau Brut Etoile & Truffle Honey. Pair with a very unique milk-&-cheese cocktail: Rum, cereal-infused milk, Midnight Moon Dutch cheese & truffle honey. Lactose-intolerant customers, beware!

Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, VIC, Australia

No lack of fromage either - or should we say, kaas - at this Schiphol shop, where Dutch cheeses take centre stage, easing the pangs of travellers trapped in transit at Amsterdam's airport. Sample the Reypenaer VSOP or Wijngaard matured with ginger.

Mamasita, Josie Bones, Ombra & Tonka @ Melbourne

One of Melbourne’s first authentic Mexican restaurants and still its most revered - the staggering popularity of this first-floor eatery is underscored by the long line of patrons who patiently stand on a stairway every evening, sometimes for up to an hour, awaiting a table at Mamasita, which declines to accept reservations for groups of fewer than eight people. Once inside, expect a boisterous setting where everybody appears to be talking simultaneously at the top of their voices while munching on moreish platters of tacos topped with braised ox tongue, pickled vegetables and spicy Ghost Pepper mayonnaise. Don’t leave without sampling the ceviche, with raw cobia fish piquantly marinated in lime, chilli, mint, green tomatoes and coconut milk.

Also well worth checking out for an evening out on the town: Josie Bones for offal fare like leek & bone marrow croquettes & sweetbread nuggets with tartare sauce, washed down with Victoria's own Lucinda Estate Pinot Noir (Macedon) ...

... as well as Ombra for salumi & cichchetti & Tonka for a nightcap of alcoholic lassi, with rum, mango, yoghurt & pistachios.
