批杷, Loquats in Syrup

Yifon's Loquats in syrup, NTUC ($1.25 per can)

I believe you knew of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Kao we used to take in an event of any slight respiratory discomfort. The "Pei Pa" means Loquats fruits; i've never seen the fruit itself till my visit to China 4 years back.

I was then having some sore throat symptoms during our Fuzhou, China trip. My friend's father, a China man bought me bottles of sweetened Loquats which did help alleviate my pain. He regrets that fresh Loquats are out of season; else it would have been much effective. Later that year, my friend did hand carry fresh Loquats back for us :))

The refreshing fruit itself is mildly sweet, even when it's canned.
You should like it.
