Durian Day!

The other day, my colleague’s husband bought me 4 durian kampong from the rural area for RM10. Great! Actually, the pasar malam near my place sell durian too since it is durian season now, but eating durian alone is no fun. Thus, i asked Ummi to join me for a small durian fest. I was quite excited at first because i had not been opening durian for ages. Well, i do eat durian in KL, but all opened by the stall people. However, i still prefer opening my own durian. It would be more delicious and tasty.

My dad is a durian lover. He just loves durian. Every time in Sarikei, if it was durian season, he sure will buy the durian almost every day until the season is over. He also loves to open the durian himself. I think he enjoy opening them because he always not let us open it ourselves. It is also he doesn’t want us to get hurt from opening the durian. I still remember there was a time, end of durian season; dad bought a HUGE durian from the market. The durian was really big and from the outside, we could see many lining proving that it had many compartment within. And it cost dad RM20-25 for just one durian. But, in the end we found almost all the compartments were empty. We end up only eating 2-3 small durian! So pathetic.

Opening all the durian was not as hard as i imagine. This is because the durians are ripe enough and some of them even cracked opened by itself. The durians were not as good. The seeds were big and the flesh was thin. Not so good at all. However, it wasn’t bad for the first durian fest.

Opening the first durian. As simple as ABC

All the durian in a container.

This is a small area at Ummi's house, near her laundry area. The place where we opened the durian. We were not allowed to open the durian at the living room because of her super duper OCD house owner.
