Best Durians in the World are found here

Good Friends are like Stars, you don't always see them but you know they are always there....old saying

Kuala Lumpur - I have tasted and think that the Best Durians in the World comes from Malaysia. They produced so many varieties of Durians from the numerals - D2, D12, etc...to the premium and most popular Musang King or Mao Shang Huang.

Mao Shang Huang

Mao Shang Huang flesh is Bright yellow. This is very obvious when compared side by side with other durians. The taste is bittersweet, very creamy in texture; small seed.. This favourite fruit hail from Kelantan, Pahang and Johor.

XO durian

XO durians flesh are Pale yellow like in the pic above. To me it tasted Bitter and extremely soft, big seed The main plantations are at Johor, Genting, Cameron Highlands.

Green Bamboo durian

Green Bamboo durian (Chut-Keok in Cantonese). Donny and Edward was trying to explain to me what type of durian this was - now I know. The flesh is Pale yellow with a slight greenish tinge, it was sweet but the seed is big. The main plantation are in Johor.

We had 3 Mao Shang Huang durians, 1 XO and 1 Chut-Keok durian.

Durians are the King of Fruits and I love the smell and taste...yummy evening! Thanks

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila. The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded. Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect. I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared. My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup. Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off. I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup. I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
