Smart snacking: Ambra Pickle

Day 21 Circuit Breaker: Making ambra pickle my very first time.

It has many names. Back home in Penang, we call it "ambra." In Indonesia, it's called "kedondong" and in Singapore, the fruit juice stalls call it "balonglong."

The ambra fruit is crunchy, sour and very refreshing. I only know 2 fruit stalls in Singapore that sell this fresh juice; (i) Seah Im, and (ii) ABC Brickworks food center.

I picked up a packet of fresh ambra fruits at Fairprice. Wash the fruits, peel the skin, cut it into quarters, add sugar, dried sour plums and Voila! Ambra pickle. 😀

Mom used to make this. It brings back fond childhood memories.
