BUYING POMELOES FOR KRISTOFER

 My nephew Kristofer loves pomeloes, just like his late grandpa.  When he came to visit me and my Aunt Linda last week, the two of us went to Tambun to buy some of the fruit for him.  As far as I know, there are two types, sweet and sour. He likes the sweet ones.
To the Chinese the pomelo is an auspicious fruit.  In Cantonese it is called Loke Yau which sounds something like Loe Yau.  Loe Yau can be translated to mean opportunities for success.   Some also believe that the skin of the pomelo can drive away evil spirits when used in a bath.  This symbol of prosperity and good fortune is eaten and given as gifts on Chinese New Year and the Mid Autumn Festival.
