Just awhile back, during one of the really really random nights, I went out with Mr and Mrs Sherwyn and James as well for some random desserts - it was durians. LOL. I used to love durians very much - nowadays I eat durians a lot lesser, but then... how can you resist right?
At the stalls right next to the Rothmans Roundabout in Section 19, PJ.For some of the ignorant bunch, and the international readers, the durian is also known as the king of fruits. The durian is native to Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. There is some debate as to whether the durian is native to the Philippines, or was introduced. The durian is grown in other areas with a similar climate; it is strictly tropical and stops growing when mean daily temperatures drop below 22 °C (72 °F).
The durian (pronounced /ˈdʊəriən/) is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae). The durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk.
Ahhh... just look at how juicy the durians are...
I forgotten which species this is - but they do come in plenty of different names and numbers - such as D24, D96, the mao san wong, Durian Pahang, durian hutan, durian orang asli, durian Muar, durian this durian that.... I really dont know. I just know how to eat it!
This was what the four of us had. =)
The perfect durian - melts in your mouth, not in your hands. =P
