The King of Fruit.
This had been a very hectic and trying week...It’s too “hot”....stressful that I decided again to take Sam to the countryside to “cool” down.
... Nothing takes the mind away from the toil and broil of the ‘rat race’ better than a good drive to nowhere... [minus the traffic]......ending up in the Durian collection centre ...where we can buy the “King of Fruits” for a fraction of the price that we pay for in the city.
Here too, we have a wider selection of different so called “generic made-to-order, cutting edge technological invent” type of Durian.....of even more mind boggling “what/who in heaven”....and “where in heaven” did the name derive from...
.........We have today:
.....Mountain Cat King...famous for its rich creamy sweet taste..
.....Red grass prawn...famed for its Red orangy color with a tinge of bitterness..
....then we have ...Ah Kow’s cocktail...a new breed [not tried yet]..heard it tasted like sweet wine......
..and there is the early fav. called .. the Red meat crab...my fav. too though I am not sure why the name..
..then...the Hair Rejuvenator commonly known as 101 [hair growth hormones from China]........very VeRY rich creamy sweet bitter seedless....Yummy!!....not sure why the name also!
Today , we have .....21 [blackjack].....777 [jackpot]...102...103......333 [live forever]
808 [prosperity]...........008 [I prosper]..............888 [forever prosper]...and many more names and permutations.... [if space permits]......
...and NO!......we don’t have the 444 [die foever]...404 [forever die]

How do the Malaysians like for their durians? Soft, sweet and bitter, fragrant?? Strange enough, Thais only eat the not-so-ripe crunchy with less fragrant durians. They laugh at me for choosing the soft and fragrant ones. Those are for kids or eldery here :-)))

There are so many mystical tastes…. Yes, everyone needs to feel the calm of the countryside. Stress is not good for anyone.
Forgive my ignorance, but I don't think I've ever seen this fruit in the U.S. Isn't this the "smelly" fruit?? I've always wanted to actually see how "offensive" the odor actually is :)
