The durian season is back and the durian lover in me is back with a vengeance this year as I hardly had any last year. We’ve been having Musang King for brunch almost everyday the past one week and my cravings for MK durians is still not 100% satiated yet 😬

Thankfully this year we don’t have to break the bank to get the MK durians. Hubby is helping his best friend sell the durians and he gets the durians at a steal and sometimes at no cost. That’s what best friends are for. They’re no fair weather friends and they help each other out in good and bad times.

Are you droooooling already? These MK durians are creamy with thick, bitter sweet pulp and I don’t get the sting in my sensitive throat after eating them. These durians are grown in orchards free from the use of pesticides.

If you want to taste these to-die-for Musang King durians, you can contact Alan at 019-898 1881. The durians are sold online or via phone call/Whatsapp. The durian pulps will be delivered via Grab, free delivery within Taman Desa or you can pick up at Taman Desa.

The hubs called last night saying that he will be late. He had to wait for his basketball ‘kaki’ friend to bring some superior durians.  Oooh, that was music to my ears!  He knows I love durians.  Durians is indeed the king of all fruits and food.  The other day, my girls asked me what was my favorite food. I thought about it long and then I remembered durians and told them that if they ever want to give me something that I really like, it has got to be durians 😀

This morning, I starved myself before I went to the gym. Then after gym, starved myself and took a shower.  After hubs fetched Cass to school, I quickly put the coconut milk, eggs and sugar into the slow cooker to make kaya.  Then I took my stash of Kunyit durian out from the fridge and whacked 5 segments.  Wanted to whack 1 more but, I did not want to torture myself till I  burp out half regurgitated durians the whole day *gross*!  The flesh of Kunyit is SO thick, creamy and sweet.  Nothing like kampung ones.   These days, superior varieties like Kunyit, Musang King, Red Prawn and XO can cost you a bomb, like around RM30 to RM40+ or even more for a whole durian.  If there are 10 segments in the durian, it means each segment costs RM3 to over RM4!  It is just as expensive to indulge in durians as it is on sharks fins soup or birds’ nest soup!

So this was my breakfast this morning and I ate nothing else but 5 large and thick segments of the rich Kunyit durian, which filled me up up until now and it is lunch time now.  Do check out the bright yellow color of the Kunyit durian, as yellow as turmeric, hence the moniker.

I think I will just settle with just 2 slices of wholewheat crackers to go with my hot from the pot homemade kaya for lunch today.  The girls will eat lasagne that their grand uncle baked.

Do you splurge on durians from the ‘superior’ breed too? Or regular ‘kampung’ ones can satiate your crave?

We were back in Ipoh at my parents last weekend.  I saw a stall selling durians and being the durian fanatic that I am, I told hubs and my mum that I wanted to get some durians to feast on. When I see durians, my weight-watching plan is immediately thrown out of the window!  And I normally gain a kg or two during the durian season. My mum stopped me from buying from that stall as my brother from Singapore got conned by that stall the last time he bought them.  The stall owner told my brother that the durians were some superior Musang King species but when they got home to try, bull shit, it was just some kampung durians.

Anyway, when we reached home, my mum whipped out a box of frozen durians from her freezer. They were surplus durians from Cameron Highlands which a friend gave them recently.  After allowing the durians to defrost for about 15 minutes, I tasted the durians.  The flesh on the outside was slightly hard and crunchy and freezing cold on the inside and it tasted exactly like durian ice cream, minus the cream and added sugar!

Now I know what to do during the next durian season. I am going to squirrel away some extra durians and stash them in the freezer, to be savored during off durian season haha!

Frozen durians anyone? Give it a try and I’ll bet you’ll love ’em!

When Baby C was asleep during her afternoon nap yesterday, I did some spring cleaning of my closet. I have not gone back to my parents’ home for almost 1.5 years and my closet is pretty messy. I found some old baby clothes wrapped inside plastic bags, all chucked and squeezed inside my closet. They once belonged to Alycia and Sherilyn. I am glad I found them because Baby C can wear them now. I also found some unused diapers but I dared not let Baby C use them as the diapers are more than 3 years old. I am not sure if it’s going to cause a baby any harm for using expired diapers. Moreover, Baby C is so prone to getting UTIs and her diaper area has to be kept sterile all the time.

I also found my old love letters which hubby (then boyfriend) wrote to me. There were also some old greeting cards that hubby handmade and drew them for me more than 2 decades ago, when I was just 14 years old! Also found a bag of items that looked like some NFL Merchandise which belonged to hubby. No wonder hubby kept telling me that he could not find some of his clothes and toiletries. He must have left them behind at my parents’ some time ago. I also fished out some of the sexy XS size tops that I wore during my pre Baby C days. They still look very new but too bad I can’t squeeze into them anymore and I don’t think I will ever be able to squeeze into them again.
