I ate a plate of sticky rice and Azuki red beans (said my mom because I didn't know what I ate :P). However, I searched for a picture and found the same pix, which turn out to be sticky rice with black urad beans. I ate it with braised tofu and boiled eggs and pickled veggies.

I don't have the patience to eat pomegranates. They are super beautiful, though.

I like Adzuki beans (variation on spelling you find here)
They are very good for you. I'll have to put them on my shopping list again.

Chocolatl, I have pomegranate as a treat. Meaning I buy it as a ready to eat pack with a spoon. And I do eat the seeds too, so the only difficult part is spooning it into my mouth.
Probably breaks lots of fine dining rules

Is pomegranate popular in Vietnamese cuisine?
My Indian/ Pakistani friends adored it, it was a standard in desserts and cordial. Shudder.
Their cultural version of sweet is far too sweet for me. Actually add Middle Eastern to that. I may add more other regions of the world after a good think. Me, I like a cheeseboard after a meal.

Sorry if your Mum just happened to pick it up at the market as my Mum would - I know so little of Far East culture I am always hungry to learn. See what I did there?

One of the boys in class 2a brought in some Indian sweets for a lesson on celebrations in religion (Diwali in his case). I joked that I was missing out, working in Key Stage 2 in the afternoons. He's such a beautiful, solemn little boy with huge eyes and a smile that changes his face - when he shows it. "Oh, Mrs M can save one for you I'm sure" he assured me. I told him kindly that I was just joking, and I'd rather his classmates enjoyed them. Well it was the truth in a gentle way.

Hmm....I don't know. It is expensive though. I saw it at the grocery for $4 each. This lady I know got a box at Costco and if you calculate it, each fruit rounds out only to $2. So I asked her if I can buy just one off her because I thought my mom likes the fruit. Turns out my mom said she doesn't care for the fruit. That's why I had to open the fruit myself. I don't eat the seeds so it's a bit annoying to spit them out.

Chocolat: I know what you mean by patience. It was time-consuming to open up the fruit. And dirty too. I changed into a shirt that I can bleach because it would be inevitable that red juice would squirt on you. I would just rather drink the juice.

Now, I better go pick up the pomelo someone gave me last night. I forgot it there when went home. She told me it was the perfect blend of sweet and tartness.

Ahh...yes. The next picture is Azuki red beans sweet soup. (post for you, Sundae ) I'll explain what "sweet soup" is for those who don't know later this afternoon.

That Adzuki soup looks... murky.
Please reassure me about sweet soup later.

The won ton soup looks yummy though.

Hehe...yes, it does. This explains a little about Vietnamese "sweet soup." I will look up the recipe for the Azuki red bean sweet soup and perhaps that will explain why the water is so "murky," hehe.
