In the vast urban jungle of Toronto, my fellow hunters and I were searching for fruits we haven't tried or heard of. We went to Chinatown to find exotic and unique fruits. We have found a Chinese supermarket called Kai Wei Supermarket. Outside the store were fruit stands and that is when the hunt began.
After browsing through the market, this one sign caught my eye. It said Longan and the first thing that came to my mind was a character from a game I like to play. I wanted to try it so I asked my friend to buy some.
The Longan Fruit or also known as the dragon eye since it darkens with age and contains 1 pit or seed.
Its botanical name is the Euphoria langana. It is a very complimenting name since it is a very sweet succulent fruit and is very tasty. Mostly found in Southeast Asia and mostly produce anytime between mid and late summer.
With this experience I should try to find more foods named after characters in video games because at the end of my journey that day, I found a great treasure.
