When we were in Penang with a couple of local peeps, we thought it would be safe to try as much authentic and local food as possible, take advantage of the local knowledge and not needing to interpret the menu. What could go wrong?!
So when they asked us if we wanted to try some local fruit juice, we accepted. Our experience of the food so far had only been positive, and the fruit saved the day when we were trekking in the jungle.
I wish I could remember the name of the fruit but I absolutely can't! Anyway, I reached to take a sip, only to feel as though something had bit my lip! I inspected the glass but there were no bugs in sight, so back to sipping I went, and again I felt something pinch my lip. Strange! I handed the drink over to Fiz, when we took a sip he apart had to spit the drink back out, same thing!
Turns out this particular fruit actually bites you!! Although the more you drink, the more you get used to it to the point where it goes unnoticed, as evidenced by our friends.
Needless to say, I drank the rest of the drink through a straw!
