No Testing, No Touching, No Choosing

Please do not touch me!

When I went to Singapore in 2012, I'm not in good condition so its hard for me to find something that I able to eat. Most halal food in Singapore are Malayan, Arabian Food, and something spicy. So I have no choice than eating fruits. 

Well, there is a big traditional market at Bugis Street where many trader sells kinds of fruit. At the first, I feel confused because there is a sign "No Testing, No Touching, No Choosing." Then, when I saw the person besides me test the fruits! I ask the trader, "Can I try the fruits?I want to make sure if it is sweet and juicy." The trader said "You should pay for every fruits you eat. And our fruits are as sweet as sugar, just see the sign." I look at the sign he pointed, and yes its written very sweet, as sweet as sugar, and many sentences claimed the sweetness of the fruits.

Because, usually in Indonesia people able to try to choose, and of course to touch fruits even if at the end they didn't buy any. Then, when I can not try or choose or touch, I'm not sure about the taste (the price also a bit expensive than in Indonesia he he) so I only bought a little. 
Arrived at the hotel I feel hungry (actually I already feel hungry at the MRT, but passenger are not allowed to eat there, so I need to wait until arrived at the hotel), and I start eating one fruit and, two, three, and more.. and ..wow the trader is right. It is sweet, juicy and fresh!
 
The day after I went to the market again, and bought so many fruits. :D
