The sea coconut palms.

Cutting the sea coconut up.

The edible bit.

With the layer of husk removed.

The texture is much smoother and softer than the usual canned variety. Tastes rather bland but refreshing and slightly sticky with a little hint of sweetness.

Fresh Lotus Seeds

The lotus pod has this rather fibrous and rubbery texture to it. Tear it open to get to the seeds.

For the lotus seeds that we are familiar with, just tear through the green layer and you will get the fresh lotus seed that has a mild and pleasant sweetness to it. Just remember to remove the bitter tasting heart from the centre.

Fishing

A youth prepares his net for casting.

Fishes that get stranded in the small pond aren't exactly easy catch. It is common for people to spend a whole day casting their nets into such ponds yielding little results.
