Kiat Kiat

Kiat Kiat, also known as "little ponkans" are from the same family of Oranges. They are very delicious when in season. It is easy to eat them since their skin can be easily peeled and is not tough. Since they are really small compared to the normal size of oranges, you will not encounter any problems with the seeds being bitten as such would create a bitter after taste. Not a good taste if that happens, I'm telling you! These little wonders are one of my favorite fruits.

It is also used as one of the main symbols for the Chinese New Year. Kiat Kiat together with pineapple is used for luck and prosperity because of its round shape, also the same shape of coin or money. This is hanged in the door entrance of the house.
