Durians! Finger Licking Yummy-licious!

This was a Saturday. Snapshots taken on our morning walk.

Dawn at 6:50am
7:15am
Sunrise at 7:20am
Sunrise at 7:22am
Parasitic plants growing on the tree. Can hear the birds chirping and singing but they were too small to be seen.
~~~~~
Breakfast bought from 2 different coffee shops, located back to back.
Left: Wat tan hor (noodle with egg gravy) for hubby.
Right: Curry noodle with stuffed ingredients for me and 3 pieces of "pulut udang" which is glutinous rice with dried shrimp and coconut filling wrapped with banana leaf.
This is how the "pulut udang' or glutinous rice with dried shrimp and coconut filling looks like without the banana leaf wrapping.
Angled luffa, snake beans and green brinjals harvested from my garden.

Lunch
Leftover porridge from the previous day's dinner.
We love ginger strips with our rice porridge.
This time have to do without chopped spring onions.
~~~~~
About 1:30pm, I received a call from my friend informing that the durian supplier has reached her house.
These are hill durians.
I ordered 20 kilos of durians.
All ready packed in pastic bags.
Selling at RM5 per kilo.
They may not look like the branded durians but I think hill durians taste much better than most branded durians. Plus, the price is so much cheaper than branded durians.
I love durians and one of my favourite is the hill durians. I opened up all the durians. placed them into plastic containers. They will go into the freezer. Once thawed, they can be eaten and they taste like durian ice cream. Hubby and I had a durian feast that afternoon and we have to skip dinner that evening.


So let us feast upon him and grow strong in the Christian life,
leaving entirely behind us the cancerous old life
with all its hatreds and wickedness.
Let us feast instead upon the pure bread
of honor and sincerity and truth.
(1 Corinthians 5:8, The Living Bible-TLB)

  3. I'd go for the curry noodles, look nicer than the wat tan hor. Oooo...the pulut udang looks good. Can't get that here - udang kering too expensive, I suppose. Durians? No, thank you. LOL!!!

  4. Your produce is looking good that you grew.
    Durians are also grown in northern Australia but I understand they are not the best smell but the fruit if very good for you.

  8. Those are very fat and cute pulut udangs.

    While I have been having durian, I miss seeing them in the shell. Mine are all prepacked and sort of... sterile and boring.

    1. Thank you, Stacy. The prepacked durians save you the trouble of opening the durian shells. But I do enjoy the opening and prying of the shells of durians.

    1. It is difficult to describe durians. It has many flavours, sometimes sweet, sometimes slightly bitter, and some are tasteless, etc. You will have to taste it youself to experience what a durian taste like. Either you will love it or you will hate it.

  10. I like this type of pulut. Yum yum.

    Long time did not go for morning walk. My man is lazy lately. He doesn't wake me up for morning walk for a week now. Lol.

    1. Thank you, Libby. I don't mind being awaken in the morning by birds chirping or singing because I am an early riser.

  18. Nancy, your sunrise images are very beautiful, I am struck by how copious your breakfasts are, around here they are less abundant: milk, coffee, toast, butter and jams.
    I read that durian has a very unpleasant smell, is that right?

  24. You have just given me a good idea to order Wat Tan Hor for my dinner tonight. I will ask them to add 2 eggs instead. Yums!

    I always like to eat wild and kampung durians for a change. Just like your Hill Durians, they would taste better than branded ones.
