Wow. Durian feast. Not cheap. I much prefer dragon fruit but I like the imported white dragon fruit. Hard to find.
ReplyDeleteHere, white dragon fruit is easier to find than red dragon fruit. Someone here should export to your side. Durian price went up due to demands from overseas where all the best durian will be exported.

Online says:
Eight Immortals Fruit (八仙果 Baxian Guo)– It’s a pulp made of dried orange peels and various herbs. The pulp is stuffed into fresh pomelo, grapefruit or bergamot skin (it really does look like a fruit – thus the name). Later it’s being dried and cut into pieces. Despite being sold in candy shops, it is actually considered to be a traditional Chinese medicine (which I didn’t know when buying it). It’s mostly used to treat cough and sore throat, as well as a remedy for nausea and indigestion. According to various descriptions, you shouldn’t eat more than 5-6 pieces a day though, since with higher doses it might cause diarrhoea (and believe me – it does).

Wow! Wow! 1 kg of musang king. Can eat until puas-puas.
ReplyDeleteYa, puas. 👍🙂
DeleteDurian and coconut, both I like. I am resisting the temptation to buy durian because of the hot weather. Coconut in shortage now. We used to have 3 to 4 stalls selling coconut water but now only 1 or 2 stalls open. Yesterday I went out to buy coconut water. Saw a long queue, came back and went out again but was told all sold out.
ReplyDeleteYa, hot weather, everyone wants to drink coconut water. I hope we can still get to buy coconut water here.
DeleteYeah delicious durian is really difficult to resist. :D
ReplyDeleteSo you like durian too.
