There is a really nice juice that they make with it a lot of sugar is added for sure. The fruit is used in ayurvedic medicine and it is very good for you! if you can get through the initial extreme sourness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037898576607797794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643467301243569244.post-78387603996490444772013-12-07T09:36:21.629+11:002013-12-07T09:36:21.629+11:00HI Debbie, it was the Rawana Holiday Resort.

I suggest you have a look at it before booking. You can book dinner there even if you aren't staying.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531327682856915545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643467301243569244.post-40047611494893257812013-12-06T23:49:57.228+11:002013-12-06T23:49:57.228+11:00OH MY WORD, eight different veggie curries ... abs...OH MY WORD, eight different veggie curries ... absolutely DIVINE!
