It's durian season! My colleagues have been craving for durians for awhile, but didnt really get to eat any. Finally our durian trip worked.
We went to a durian farm at Balik Pulau, Penang after work. 10 of us went. Travelling from Bayan Lepas to Balik Pulau needs around 45 minutes. On the way to Balik Pulau, we saw breath-taking scenery, mountains, trees and paddy field, it was so tranquil.
We arrived at an antique wooden house in Balik Pulau.
We saw people cleaning the durians at the backyard.
Owner of durian farm opening the durian. Look, he uses his legs to hold the durian. Ouch.
Durian. Not sure about its name. But, I think is Ang Bak (red meat)
The durian that looks like a shit. I think is Yah Kang (Centipede)
This durian is called Coupling i think?
My colleague's phone wanna eat durian as well, haha...
King of the durian - D14, a bitter durian. I personally like durian that tastes bitter.
Mangosteen, to compliment the durians.
Very soft and yummy Cempedak (Jack fruit)
We were provided two jugs of cooling Lau How Juice (Nutmeg Juice). Very good in getting rid of heatiness of the durians.
After finishing our fruits. We went for a walk at the farm behind the house. They rare chicken there.
A turkey.
Nona (custard apple)
Many people dont know what plant this is. Guess what, it is a dragon fruit plant.
Can you spot the durians?
Nutmeg
Nutmeg slice that can be eaten straight. But the taste is awful. =)
Asam (tamarind)
My colleague, Jonathan is working on the dodol ( durian toffee).
Nice durian field trip. Ten of us ate 20 durians and it costed us RM18 per person. Not bad, aye? I would say it is very cheap. But too bad we didnt get to eat the famous Ang Heh (Red Prawn) durian. Anyway, all the durians tasted soOoo good, haha..
