My favorite durians

Yesterday my husband bought two durians from a friend who has a farm. It cost RM50 each. No doubt they were very expensive but it's really worth it. 


The durians were left at my home and my mum opened them. She put them nicely in two tumblers and kept in the fridge. When I reached home, I could smell the fragrance of the durians. But I didn't take it as it was already late.

So this morning, I had my small lunch first. Then I had 5 'ulas' of those durians. Super yummy! In the evening, I also took a small dinner before I 'hantam' the durians again. This time, only 3 'ulas'.

I'm keeping the rest for tomorrow..

      RM50 for good species is worth it la. Better than eat those RM10 for 5 but tasteless.

      Btw, you like bitter ones or sweet ones?

    this is somehow considered as an exotic fruit because of its smell
    was it really bad?

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
