In this picture, the young taukeh just put a big cardboard that says, "Bao Chi" aka "Bao Chiak" aka "Guarantee Makan" aka "Ready to be eaten".
Of course the taukeh say his honey dew is good, sweet, ripe, ready to be eaten and etc..
As a buyer, how do you pick a good honey and not get 'tipu' by the taukeh?
I would use my nose. If you can smell it's super sweet honey dew fragrance far away. Now, that's a good juicy sweet honey dew. If you can smell it, it's ready to be eaten and it sure is sweet. Tak ada bau, saya tak mau la. It's like picking a durian. Durian without smell, can you still enjoy eating it? You can't even call that a durian.

zewt: that's why i took a pic of it. never knew honey dew also got such interesting concept.
leang: u think it's like choosing watermelon meh. they won't wanna cut and let u test it. coz if u dun wan it, the tauke rugi lo.
criz: lol.. u bring home and cut it. if not sweet, u can make other things with it. Eg: Honey Dew+Sago+Coconut milk+Brown Sugar(malacca sugar)
bloomingtree: PHD level?? LOL
i know i know!! poke into the honeydew and taste it. :P actually got method to tell if it's sweet one meh?
ehon: LOL!Sopandai.. cucuk it den use straw to taste the juice? kikiki.. Well,so far i only knowone method. That's by smelling it. If the honey dew smell is strong, that one guarantee sweet & juicy.
