🐻: speaking of fruit, I really really really love eating fruit. My favorites are oranges and other fruits like this! 🍊 Honestly speaking tho, in summer, any sort of fruit straight out of the fridge is really good. Let’s see some comments!

Some listener comments~
“Durian - hope Kun will give it a try!”
🐻: nooo I reject hahaha 🙅🏻 but fr those who like durian really like it, but those who don’t really reject it

Another person said sour fruits like mango
🐻: hold on - are mangos sour? Aren’t they super sweet? Ah…speaking of sour I’m starting to salivate 😂 I like sweet versus sour fruit

Someone said java apples
🐻: ahh when I was in Taipei I ate a lot of java apples, custard apples, and guava - fruits like this! Wah~ Taipei is in the northern region, so the fruits were super super sweet

Another listener said peaches 🍑
Kun said he likes peaches and also canned peaches~ he likes all sorts of peaches and fruits

Someone else said grapes 🍇 OP loves eating it straight out of the fridge while it’s cold
🐻: have u guys tried frozen grapes? It’s awesome for the summer

~Today’s TMI~
OP found a new way to drink coffee which is sour plums(??) and coffee and said the sour from the plums and bitterness of coffee complement each other and asked kun what must have treats for summer are and I think Kun said mango pomelo sago! 🥭

~Free Talk Mondays w/ Guozhen~
Guozhen said he and kun were chatting so much they almost forgot they had to do a broadcast and so he was scrambling to find the mic when it was starting 😂

🐻: in summer, there’s not only great weather, but lots of great fruit!
🤓: that’s right~ they’re ripening…but also lots of flies and mosquitos start to come out
🐻: *joking* let’s not ruin the vibe 😂 haha ok what’s today’s topic?
🤓: today’s topic is “my one pick fruit”!

🐻: what’s ur favorite fruit?
🤓: all sorts of sweet fruit! But when it comes to summer, a must have is-
🐻: watermelon? 🍉
🤓: yes! Idk if you’ve noticed recently, but any fruit has become sweeter like it’s easier to pick sweet fruits these days~

First OP said they love strawberries and said probably because they were born during strawberry season so they particularly love it. 🍓 They also love strawberry cake and recommend a way to eat them which is strawberries and honey!
🐻: dipped in honey??
🤓: ah I’ve seen that! +

+ like when you put them in yogurt/parfaits and there’s honey drizzled on top
🐻: ah everyone’s so creative at eating these days haha strawberries and honey…I’ve also seen strawberries eaten with condensed milk! 🍓

Guozhen talked about the white strawberries and said at first he thought there wasn’t much taste, but it was actually really really sweet and kun was marveling at how they’re white colored strawberries

Next OP mentioned they really love Sunshine Rose grapes said they love it so much that they could replace all 3 meals with them and asked Kun’s fave fruit
🐻: I also like shine muscat grapes!
🤓: ahh I remember 2-3 years ago when they first came out they were sooooo expensive

🐻: ah…the more we speak about this the more hungry i get 😂 what to doooo~
🤓: haha we talked so much today we can’t play ads 😆

Next OP said it’s hard to choose, but they have to pick durian and said they know Kun doesn’t like it 😆 OP mentioned there are tons of different kinds of durians in Malaysia and said their favorite way to eat it is frozen and that’s really like eating ice cream. After finishing+

+ the during, a way to 降火 aka decrease internal heat is to use the durian shell to drink some salt water and says they don’t know if it works, but it’s become a tradition and feels weird if they don’t do it. OP wants to ask the Kun who doesn’t eat durian what it smells like

🐻: I’ve only had it once to my recollection haha idk if that was a bad one or if I wasn’t having a good day or something 😂 but it felt like eating fatty meat or an onion or something
🤓: ahh I can understand
🐻: the texture felt like fatty meat and the taste was like onion haha

Guozhen said maybe it’s like people who do and don’t like cilantro
Someone in the comments said the taste was like onion and gasoline 😭 GZ asked Kun if he remembered what color the outside of the durian he ate was and he said it was light yellow and kept talking about durian +

+ so kun was like “you really like durian huh 😆” and he does indeed
🐻: I’ve eaten durian candy before as well! And it’s like the durian flavor/gas just keeps coming up lol I couldn’t take it 😂 It seems like there’s not many durians in Korea tho!

🤓: because there’s more Chinese friends in korea these days, some markets have started carrying frozen durian…but I think a lot of my korean friends don’t like it haha

🤓: I saw this video where someone was using the durian shell to brush their cat (t/n: omg…why 😭)
🐻: won’t the cat get stinky 😭
🤓: I’ll show it to you during the song break!

Now playing “Apple” by GFRIEND

Someone said they like avocados and Kun mentioned ppl put them on salads and Guozhen said an interesting way to eat them is slicing avocados rly thin and dip them in soy sauce and wasabi to mimic sashimi
🐻: eh??????
🤓: LMAO Kun’s expression his face is all twisted up rn 😂

🐻: for seafood/fish I have to eat ones that are grilled/cooked haha I can’t eat raw
🤓: well we can try grilled avocados then 😂
🐻: it’s gonna melt 😭
🤓: maybe we’ll get avocado oil haha

Next OP said they don’t like fruit but they do like coconuts and drinking fresh coconut juice in the place of water is very refreshing and can even eat the coconut meat afterwards

Next OP like watermelon probably because their mom ate a lot when they were pregnant with them and asked Kun what his fave fruit is
🐻: it’s based on the season - in summer, I like watermelon or frozen mangos! Also oranges/citrus fruits…ah I love them all! Aside from durians LOL

Kun said he’s not a huge fan of star fruit either and guozhen asked if he can eat sour fruits and Kun said he can eat lemons too and particularly likes eating them as well
Guozhen read a comment saying their mom told them they ate certain fruits while they were pregnant w/ them+

+ so they can be more beautiful, etc. and asked kun if he ever heard the same from his mom
🐻: my mom just told me if you eat watermelon seeds, it will grow a watermelon in your belly…I’m sure a lot of other people heard this when they were young too 😂

🐻: I don’t eat the huge black seeds, but the small white ones are okay
🤓: even if you do nothing really bad happens haha just might be harder to digest

Guozhen mentioned a way he’s seen in Korea to eat it is cut it in half, scoop out all the watermelon, and fill it with soda

Now playing “Watermelon” by LUCY

Guozhen said in a region in china they have watermelon sauce that they dip it in(?) and Kun was like “omg I can’t imagine the taste” and they also mentioned the nutrition benefits how some people scrape out the rind as well

OP said their one pick fruit are mangos - they used to be allergic to them when they were young, but after they grew up one day they ate mangos again and realized they were no longer allergic and now they really like it
🐻: ah it seems like a lot of people are allergic to mangos

🤓: also peaches esp like the fuzzy part of the skin so if it’s peeled people quite like it
🐻: I think there’s a saying that if you eat too many mangos you’ll have yellow sweat - idk if it was just me, but my mom told me there was such a thing
🤓: ??? first time hearing that 😆

🐻: I really remember this happening once when I was little - I ate a lot of mangos and was wearing a white shirt that day and the sweat was yellow…lemme clarify it was not bc my (skin) was dirty 😂
🤓: 🤔???
🐻: or did my mom lie to me?? Was it mangos…I think it was mangos…🥭

They said this was a really popular topic this week, so they’ll continue the same one for next Monday! Kun said they could probably keep talking about it for a few weeks 😂

Someone said “as long as there’s someone to peel the fruit it’ll become my favorite heheheh”
🐻: you you you you you ah…*joking* don’t be lazy peel them yourself hahaha see if you did that yourself wouldn’t you feel a sense of accomplishment? 😂 haha ok won’t nag you anymore

🐻: our program is coming to an end today! Hope everyone will continue tuning in tomorrow~ Lastly we’ll play a song KunD likes, which is “Amazing”. See you tomorrow~ bye bye!
