Fresh Strawberries from the Street @ Huangshan City County in China

How keen are you to try fruits sold by mobile street vendors when you are overseas? I am hesitant given my sensitive stomach, and even more so for China, with horrendous stories of chemical laced and infused fruits said to sweeten, preserve and beautify.

The exact thought went through my mind when we stepped out of China Huizhou Culture Museum, but my tour guide signalled that we can buy as the fruits were safe. As our health and safety were her primary responsibility, we literally went dog crazy! 

One whole bag for just RMB 20 Yuan (about S$4 for 500 grams), and arguably more than 500 grams as the street vendor gave asking us to sample! 

Everyone of them was bigger than the normal, and sweet on its own! It's indeed disturbing to see it being so vibrantly colored but I have a high-trust problem; tour guide said ok, I trust. I did monitor my stools for the next day, and it was fine despite me eating so many of them! 

Worth it for S$4?
Definitely for us! 

Small, little tangerines cost RMB 6 Yuan for one jin (500 grams). Again, we were shoved with tons of samplings and given that there were a few of us to share the sweetness spike; we bought one jin too!
