Need to find inspiring ways to incorporate healthy fresh fruits into your diet? Well, there's no place like here because we have gathered 10 seriously refreshing fresh fruit recipes, whether they come hot or cold. 

1. Honeydew Sago Pomelo 

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as an ice-cold bowl of Honeydew Sago Pomelo on a hot summer’s day, and you will see why! Balls of cold melon, sago and pomelo floating in a cooled mixture of honeydew and evaporated milk that is both sweet yet incredibly refreshing. Not into Honeydew? It can be replaced with durian, jackfruit or mango!

2. Chinese Rojak

Ever heard of a fruit platter that is vastly unhealthy (and thus really tasty) for you? Enter the Chinese Rojak – a salad concocted in Singapore that is both sweet and savoury, an ensemble of fruits, fried dough fritters and fried beancurd tossed in a dressing made of shrimp paste, tamarind, sugars and peanuts. Eat it like a local and throw in some chopped chili padi in that sauce!

3. Apple and Pear Pork Rib Soup

Yes, you read that right - Soup made from apple and pear! Originating from China, the Apple and Pear Pork Rib Soup is rumoured to be nourishing for your throat and lungs, and have anti-aging properties. There is some prep work involved, and some time is required for the soup to be simmered to perfection but it is well worth the effort!

4. Pulut Durian 

This one's for the durian haters. If you hate it on its own, you may just find yourself warming up to the thorny fruit with a comforting ball of durian sticky rice in our Pulut Durian recipe. It's easy to eat, a gentle first step to the divisive fruit. Drowned in coconut milk goodness, the rice is plump and soft and when dipped into a warm bowl of melted bittersweet durian- a game-changer. 

5. Es-Teler

As easy as it looks. Just slice and stack- a refreshing icy cocktail of avocado, jackfruit and coconut for a hot day. The Indonesian classic dessert is easily made with a variety of sliced fruit, including Southeast Asia's many tropical fruits like papaya and mangoes for sweetness and colour. Want it colder for longer? Chill the glasses ahead. 

6. Tangerine Cake with Vegan Chocolate Ganache 

A bright, light and sweet citrus cake that infuses the air with the inviting scent of tangerines -the fruit that symbolises a brand new year for the Chinese. Spread smooth on top is a thick rich layer of melted vegan chocolate ganache for extra pleasure. For a gluten-free alternative, use almond or coconut flour instead.
