I was in Puerto Princesa recently and had a fabulous mango-pomelo shake. I still have some late mangoes from an uncle’s farm, your post just motivated me to score some pomelo tonight and whip something up!

I was in Davao two weekends ago and was given a box full of suha. We drove around town to buy some more. It retailed for 70-100 per kilo. We found out that the branded suha are not necessarily better than the generic ones. Always ask for a taste test so you don’t get fooled.

What I discovered recently is that suha stays fresh and juicy longer if kept in the refrigerator. Wish I’d known that sooner!

Hi Marketman – There is a season when the Pomelo is at it’s best. Here in Davao, that is around August through December or January. It’s still good throughout the year, but just not quite as good!

MM, there’s a candied pomelo rind recipe I saw recently, will dig it up and sent it to you. It’s dressed with chopped up chilli and sugar and salt, very Thai!

Hi, MM .. hope all is well with you and your families/loved ones during the torrential storm..

The last time I had it – https://www.ireneeng.com/?p=1322, was more like grapefruit than pomelo, I was disappointed.

although you get pomelos year round from davao … there are months that the pomelos are slightly dry. Just like any fruit… there are months that the pomelos are on the tart side and sometimes you get the perfect balance of sweetness and tartiness. The philippine pomelo is still better ( my personal opinion) than the thai pomelo which was kinda weird when i first saw it since the pulp is yellow.

natie, the damage to lives and property was horrible, with over 700 still missing from a capsized ferry and prayers goes out to the missing folks and their families this evening. I understand Iloilo was especially hard hit as well.

We were not affected at all, ignoring the 7 leaks in the roof and a ceiling about to collapse under the weight of the water…

anonymous paul, salt, that is smart! maybe I will try that next time. Mindanao Bob, does that mean there isn’t a season for pomelo per se? corrine, we overdosed on pomelo, frankly. :(
