FAIL: Fruit

Will says: "Pears – I mean bloomin’ pears!  What’s tropical about that? – FAIL. The Mandarin oriental isn’t what it’s made up to be apparently.

 

 

Oh – wait – they are “Fragrant Pears”.  Phew – all good."

Course, I still say FAIL.  If only because THIS  is what they sent in a fruit basket to the client: 

(Again, from Will:)

"Ok – these were part of a fruit basket delivered to the client here at the office…

 

Mangosteen and Ciku

 

Not sure if I’ll get them in my room but will report officially on them if so.

 

Ciku has the texture similar to a Yamba Pear but much more pungent in flavour.   Almost unpleasant if it were any stronger.

 

The Mangosteen – literally looks like brains when cracked open – but is delicious.  As good as a lychee which is saying something. "

Cracked open brains... ah, yum?
