每次過年總會發現一些全家都只會台語，沒人知道怎麼寫的食材⋯例如這個口感有點像栗子與黃豆的綜合體、台語發音「品彭」的食物，本名為「鳳眼果」，又稱蘋婆、羅晃子，外殼像大型的深紅色豆莢，黃色果實外還有一層黑色的殼，在植物界裡也算是長得蠻時尚的⋯根據醫藥百科，果實性甘，有溫胃、治腹痛的功效。

雖然不明白它跟鮑魚、白菜、獅子頭、勾芡之間的關係，不過也是順便長了知識。（除了獵奇長輩圖與麻將以外的小樂趣）

Always found new things in the new year dish that everyone knows how to pronounce in Taiwanese but don't know how do they written - for example this thing we found today: phoenix eye fruit, a fruit taste like chestnut mix beans (it also called Thai chestnut) sounds like "ping pong" in Taiwanese, which is grow in a dark red/brown pod with a black shelf outside the yellow bean. Sounds like a fashion icon in vegetable world.. lol

According to Chinese herbal medical encyclopedia, this fruit tastes sweet and able to cure stomach problems. Although I don't get the reason to cook it with abalone, cabbage and meatball, but it was fun to discover new interesting ingredients on the table.
