To get a perfectly ripened good quality nectarine is very difficult in KL, even if you're willing to pay. If you can get one perfectly ripened nectarine, wow, you'll be addicted to it, take my worlds. But I am sure you have to pay between Rm7 to Rm10 for just one medium size fruit. Those 3 fruits for Rm10 nectarines, don't buy, you will get very disappointed when you eat.
Nectarine season has started in UK, you can get as cheap as 10 nectarines for GBP1 for normal quality fruits. For good quality perfectly ripened fruits, you may have to pay GBP1 for 2 fruits. And how good are they ?
From my daughter :
" ....... I washed a yellow flesh one and sank my teeth
into the nectarine. Juice came out all over my mouth.
And it was so sweet and soft and fragrant. My
immediate thought was - wow this must be the sensation
that inspired the author of the Monkey God to talk
about the Heavenly Peach. ....."

I just hope I still can get first class quality nectarines when I go to UK next month.
