First it was square melons, then they came up with heart-shaped melons... and now we have Buddha-shaped pears! At 50 yuan each ($7.32), would you even consider buying one?
It's kind of scary seeing those hanging Buddhas from the trees, especially if you bump into them at night, but it is interesting at the same time. I think they would make great gifts. It won't be long before they come up with all kinds of shapes, perhaps even our own face. Now, that would be awesome!

Heheheh :) very cool!
This is really cool! How do they do that? :)
Oh my gosh, how awesome are those? I can't imagine how they could get them to grow that way. No way would I pay that much for one though, I'm cheap....lol
That's a really clever idea. Wonder how they di that.
It's cute to see but scary to eat a "buddha"!
that is one really cool pear.
I wonder if they will feel guilty eating the pears. Oh, they eat the pears or buy them to put in their home.
Kalau Rizal minta mereka buatkan pokok yang berbentuk langsuir, pontianak kat pokok tu. Boleh selamat kebun tanam pokok malam malam. Hehehe
now, i dont think i want to eat that pears. i'll feel guilty of eating a meditating Buddha.. :) But, still it is impressive & cute.

sister-in-law Jen say alot but no helping anything ...
Just how the heck did they achieve that? Like that I also want one in the shape of a spaceman ... LOL!
But I think it's bloody cool la, though shaping it that shape is spookeeee like what Anny said. Imagine coming face to face with that at night ... pengsan ... hahaha! Ok,ok, I'm not such a brave spaceman!
aiyaaaaaaaaa.. spiffy suda hantar itu pebbles balik... aiyaaaaaaaaaaaa aiyaaaaaaaaaaa
Very unique indeed!
waw... creepy and interesting at the same time.

I would consider buying some. But eating it is another matter. :D
Thanks for visiting my blog, too. You write very well. :D
Buddha and food ........ two gifts in one ;)
wah hebatnya!!! kalau pear tu bentuk dolly pun best!!
wow wow wow...are those for real??
Thank you so much for your comment, thank you for your concern, I'm touched. Thank you.
I find the Buddha pears so cute! I bet they won't last long cos fruits normally get rotten when overriped. How did they do that? :-)
How wonderful!
Hi Chef Eureka! Welcome to Mumblings :) Thanks for dropping by!

Ann ~ I'm cheap too! I'd buy the normal and cheap pears anytime :)

Dora ~ Yeah... good for display on prayer tables though.
Rizal ~ Indeed! :D Langsuir?? Arrghhh... *lariiii*
Mama Mia ~ Neither do I. Sia prefer mo tingu2 seja shape dia. Tabik spring la sama tu farmer yang menghasilkan buah pear berbentuk Buddha.
Hitesh ~ Yes, it's real. Not photo-shopped! :D
Anny ~ Wooooooooooo!! LOL!
I thot so too but they're real. Mangos maybe can la but dunno about Papayas though... they grow faster but mould kene besar cos papayas are biggg... nanti mould pecah!
TH ~ Oh, not yet ah. Well, hopefully Sean is OK ya.
Waw!! Mahal tu over RM2K...
Spiff ~ Spaceman too many details la...
Ya, I don think I wan to jalan2 at kebun buah at nites la... sure spookie seeing Buddha pears gantung2 like dat, if got wind lagi scary oh!!
Denesa ~ Agreed! :D
Maslight ~ Maybe can use it for Halloween props kan.
Monica ~ Me neither Mon... me is cheapskate... hehe
Pinaybackpacker ~ For decorative purpose only :) Somehow the shape is not appealing enough for us to eat ya.
Diff.thinkr ~ You got that right! :)
Emila ~ Bentuk dolly ala Emila style... hehe
Charity ~ Yup, they're for real. You're most welcome Charity!
Marlene ~ One had better eat the 'Buddhas' before they get over-ripe then ya :) The farmers used moulds to get the desired shape.
Katherine ~ Wonderful indeed! :)
