Pumpkin


The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for “large melon". The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, "pumpkin"


Unbelievable, I saw this pumpkin in the market where my mom used to sell her vegetables and fruits. At first, I thought it was import or my mom bought it from others. Then, my mom told me that it come from our farm when I was doing my attachment di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I take few photos of it... and luckily my brother snap few photos of it when the pumpkin attached to it stalk..

Pokok Cempedak


Cempedak, the smaller cousin of the well-known, jackfruit. It adopts the Malay name as it does not have an English name. It is a seasonal fruit native to southeast Asia.



Cempedak looks similar to the jackfruit except that it is much smaller in size but it is large in comparison to other fruits. It is also sweeter, stickier and with a strong odor when it is ripe.You will know when it is ripe as it will emit a strong odor that fills the room, similar to the durian. It will turn light green with dark brown spots appearing on several of the flattened studs. It is also slightly sticky when you touch it due to the secretion of latex through the rind.

Common Name: Cempedak
Vernacular Name: Chempedak
Scientific Name: Artocarpus champeden
