So please take us very seriously when we say from the bottom of our hearts, that there is some freaky shit going on here:
Ng reportedly bought the fruit from a vendor on Kweilin Street in Sham Shui Po after noticing two of the “extra large” fruit would only set her back HKD10. After taking them home, she tried to eat one and found the flesh was strangely sweet to the point where it was “like eating rock sugar”. She then proceeded to cut into the second piece, which she claims had unusually rubbery flesh and sticky black seeds.
Naturally, she made the video to spread awareness about the abnormal fruit.
Some netizens commented that the fruit may have been injected with sugary syrup, while others questioned whether it was entirely counterfeit, asking “When did Hong Kong become like this?” Other commenters were considerably less outraged, humorously remarking that Ms. Ng would be “defecating rubber” the next day.
Today, a Ming Pao reporter visited “Tokyo Fruit”, where Ms. Ng purchased the whatever-it-is and spoke to the vendor. She claimed that they have not experienced any problems with their dragonfruit, which apparently comes from Vietnam. The reporter bought two dragonfruits and cut them open to reveal what seemed to be perfectly ordinary flesh.
The incident has been reported to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, who have yet to make a comment.
