Eat As Much As You Can

Durian, Durian, Durian - the Eat As Much As You Can sale is on at the fruit stall at USJ 14.  Just pay RM9 and start enjoying these sweet-bitter and rich flavour durian.  My neighbours planned an outing for 10 of us to enjoy the durian together. You have to be at the stall by 4pm when the lorry unload the durians that were freshly picked from the owner's ochard in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan. This way, you will be assured to get the best quality durians as there is a crowd gathering there and everyone wants to get the best deal.  It's my first time trying out this deal.  It's fun to have a big group of buddies to enjoy the fruits together.

The photo here showed my neighbours, Mr. & Mrs Chew delighted with the yellow-flesh durian.  Yellow flesh durian usually has a bitter-sweet taste and are more preferred by durian lovers.

Durian Feasting Again!

Oh ya!! I committed another sinful act of feasting on durian again!! A close friend surprised us with a visit and he brought along durians!! Wow, what a great gift! Together, we feast on those durians although I was heading to a dinner later on. How could one resist this??? Love the rich, bitter-sweet flavour of these D24 and IOI durians. Yup, those are the names of the durians.

Burp.......! d^_^b Excuse me.

Durian Durian

We enjoyed this durian after our trip to Broga Hill. We stopped by a Chinese Temple and outside the temple there were some fruit vendors. One of the ladies kept asking us to try her durian. Eventually we gave in to this tempting fruit. It's YUMMY!!!

For durian lover out there, how about doing charity and at the same time you are able to enjoy a buffet of durian? The Charity Durian Festival III event is back.

Five tonnes of durian will make their way to Subang Parade on Sunday, July 4th together with mangosteens and rambutans to delight shoppers who will get a chance to dig into the King of Fruits while chipping in for a good cause. Durian lovers can purchase RM20 coupons and enjoy durians for 1 hour. There will be 4 hourly durian-eating sessions to pick from.

Proceeds from the event will be channelled to the Children’s Wish Society of Malaysia, a national charity based in Subang Jaya which fulfils the wishes of children who are stricken with terminal illnesses across the country. This innovative idea was spearheaded by Subang Parade and SJ Echo (Subang Jaya’s community paper) and it is now in its 3rd year running.

The schedule for The Charity Durian Festival III is as follows:

My World Tues - Durian Season

The durian season has started for awhile. In fact a friend told me that it is going to end soon. I haven't really started feasting on them. The weather has been hot lately and avoiding durian is a wise move for me. I am afraid of being heaty after eating durian and fall sick with sore throat. Many who practice Western medicine do not believe on this thing that has to do with durian being heaty for our body.

But I abide with mom's teachings that durian is heaty and NEVER ever consume it with hard liquor and Chinese medicine. It can be deadly. A schoolmate of mine lost his brother after he ate durian and take Chinese medicine. He never wake up from his sleep. That was a really sad incident.

Durian Season is Back!

I saw this booth at one of the supermarkets in Sunway Pyramid. Wow, check out the names of all the durians! I never know that there are so many different varieties of them! Looking forward to eating durians!! Too bad that I am down with flu now. So I can only look and not taste those durians! Durian, durian, durian! How I love thee!!
