    I revive this one!! Its now June....Lychee and Longan season is about to start again!!

    For me..its really a though choice....I think i like Lychee a very little bit more than longgan

    We have now a sweet little longan plant!!! hope it will survive the winter....(it already survived one..but that wasn't a though one)

    ooh whauw...I have never seen these in Holland :(
    my mum always buys dried longan in HK..for making soup and so..

    I like Longan better...

    Don't like lychee because it's "yit hei" (hot air?)...

    Longan or Lychee

    Lychee has more varieties so it has moe potential for different flavours , especially when it is less sweet. Longan has fewer varieties, as the sweetness dominates the fruity flavours more than lychee so its flavours are not as many as lychee. On the basis of a bigger range of flavours I select lychee

    Lychees themselfs are a bit 'hot' , but its your own body's balance(yin/yang) that determine wheter it will turn into 'yit hei' (term comes from chinese traditional thinking...and TCM) some people can eat kilos of lychee without getting 'yit hei'

    nice analysis and argumentation of your choice...

    AAHH.... the lychee and longgan season is about to start.....and I'm not going to HK this year........ >.<

    Import things really don't tastes that good..... way too sour.....(ok...ok..sometimes imported longgan can be still good)

    what are ur opinions with imported lychee/longgan??

    When you talk about variety do you mean species of lychees?

    There are many different kinds of lychees too. I personally like the kind that is almost seedless...the seed is extremely small...those are really juicy and guaranteed to be sweet. There's also the Thai variety which has a slightly sourish taste...

    longang has a same sweet taste. i voted for longang but lychee is also good.
    for some reason though, the lychee that my mum gets, they all taste different. they either taste mega fucking sweet, or mega sour manky shit.
