To all you durian lovers


While driving back to my parents house, I would notice people selling durians by the road side. I have never bothered bout whether durian ni "tgh musim ke tidak" but i make a point to buy a few "bijik" when i go back to my kampung.

I got this email from a friend describing the type of durians they have in our country. So i decided to put it here in my blog (plus i dont have anything else to talk about).

D11 "Number Eleven" is a very popular durian in the 70's. It has creamy yellow flesh with a pleasant taste and a subtle smell.

The D604 was first cultivated by the late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh is quite sweet, and has some "body" to it as the seed is small.

D600 This durian originates in Sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness.

D700 The flesh is darker than D600, like chrome yellow. Also slightly hard. Crispy, but the smell is not very strong.

Ang Sim (Red Heart) Ang Sim is a durian with flesh which is quite soft and very sweet, and dark yellow in colour. It also has a nice aroma.

Khun Poh This durian takes the name of the late Mr Lau Khun Poh, who first budded it. Khun Poh has beautiful orangy flesh with a slightly bitter-sweet taste and a heavy aroma.

Actually banyak lagi variety of durian. Letih plak nak transfer all those pics. To all you durian lovers enjoy.
