Dear all CSers,

The Famous Notre dame Cathedral in Saigon... took this shot with a 12-24 F4 lens

Check out the red color fruit which she is selling... Anyone knows what it might be.. Dun think we can get this locally.

That red fruit is not for eating raw like other fruits. Vietnamese uses it to color glutinous rice. It gives the rice a nice red color, a better taste and fragrance too.
