Compared to overseas like UK, Oz or NZ, yeah its a fact that we have haze and sticky humid weather but nothing beats the pure enjoyment (including the ease and availability) feasting on yummy fresh local durian. All available from early afternoon to supper right up to the wee hours of the morning – that is if you have a durian craving even at 2am++!!! The durian stalls basically stay open as long as the durian supply are not sold out.
Slightly amazed by the number of people out for some durian indulgence – with many others packing back for some home comfort enjoyment.
Tables of durian lovers out for a chat and bite.
I’m not really a supper person so those few heavy seeds kept my body awake late to the early morning!! Must pace myself more next time and not go over-crazy feeling-deprived stuff-your-face pure gluttony – I suppose this is the mischievous lure of seasonal fruits!! You wait impatiently and then overdose before cooling off waiting eagerly for the next harvest.
Personally, I enjoy eating my durians with a spoon, a habit I picked up from my parents. Not tagging the blame on them but this way I don't have after durian smell lingering on my fingers! Some find it a 'turn-on' but not me. Lolz!! I know one can use the durian shell to wash off the smell but somehow can't seem to consistently get the hang of it.
And yes if you are wondering, I brought my own spoon :) ha ha ha
Available - every other corner, road side, make shift stalls, truck or car boot!

I like to eat it cold from the fridge with a spoon! especially during times when I am stitching a cross stitch piece!!
Emily - hi spoon 5! Glad to know there are more of us ha ha ha...but eating durian and cross stitching - how u do it? Not sure it will fall and dirty your piece?
My parents used to bring frozen durian when they visited me during Uni days - ah, those were super yummy & satisfying, better than ice cream potong anytime!!
