so i have a whole bunch of mandarins given to me by various people and i kept them out.
i have no idea why i didn't refrigerate them, but i tried eating two today and both tasted bad despite smelling okay and looking perfect.
i think i'd have to throw all of them out.
yes, i always refrigerate my regular oranges...
you've been warned.

I noticed that no fruit can last without refrigeration in tropical countries, unlike in temperate countries. So the rule of thumb is to refrigerate all fruit.

Except bananas, which emit Nitrogen Dioxide which also serves to ripen them.
Want to ripen some bananas?; stick them in a sealed plastic bag for a day or two.

I didn't think you were supposed to eat them, I heard you just leave them until the 15th day and they go mouldy then you chuck them away?

p.s. you can use bananas to ripen other fruit too, just stick them in the same sealed container.

If those oranges you mentioned came from those traditional "Chinese New Year" trees sold in large potted containers, they probably would have tasted horrid no matter what. I tried one after picking one last month. It was ripe, looked good, smelled good but tasted awful. I read that these "trees" are planted with high amounts of something in the fertilizer to make them grow fast, but the stuff in the fertilizer makes them taste awful.

Would like to come Singapore

Anyone knows when will Singapore allow foreigners? Understand it will only be transit in June.

And it will depend on where you are coming from. I wouldn't expect the borders to open to all countries initially.
