Malaysian Fruits....



The early season for local fruits delight....

Was planning for some exercise after a long spell of couch potato ing and what else better than taking a stroll on the hill which has gave me much fond memories. Not mentioning that it also gave me much pleasure each time I went there for the sight, music (bird chirping, winds) and the exhaustion's... :-)

Complementing the hike, was to take some photos which is good to share and sceptic that this view maybe lost forever with the rapid development in the surrounding areas. Wonder what is there to develop, since the surroundings are hills. Unless all of are us so eager to repeat the Highland Tower incident. Human never learns right?? Especially coming to monie...

Nevertheless, for this post is gonna be only the fun thing...

It's certainly nice to know that durian season is just around the corner. Thou I am not a big
durian fan, but for many such as my parents, my girlfriend (Durian Queen) and others are looking forward to the season. Still fresh from my memory whereby last year, when I was in Pahang for Sail Fish with Baba, Richard, Ek, Georgie and Janet. We had so many durians and poor Ek was the lone ranger disliking the King Of Fruits.

Well I guess he had a torrid time whereby Burpzz are imminent after a sumptuous meal of durian....Those durians we had are great as it taste differently from those origin Penang. Or perhaps dining durian with a bunch of Potbellies....

Taking pictures of this early season durians gave me the similar pleasure as putting them into my tummy and hoping that durian farmers will be having a bumper harvest this year. Hehe... Then only we can enjoy cheap and good durians! Goal for this year durian season, to have a ANG HEH (Red Prawn) where the flesh are orange in colour. Droooling!


Here is another seasonal fruits complementing durian. This fruit is known as Rambutan. Literally Rambut means Hair. Well I guess this is where it got the name.

Mischievously, if you put two rambutan together and figure what does it looks alike... Hahah....

Leaving that alone, I'm totally a not a fan of this fruits due to ;

1) A lot of ants.
2) Less flesh with big seed.

Thou when this fruit is ripe, the colour turns red and it a nice to look at it with the reminiscence to Apple. Perhaps it should be known also as Apple of Tropical. LoL.

Ending up with part of the aerial view of the evergreen, Paya Terubong aka Long Boey area...


P/s: Sorry for the picture quality as then it wasn't then best time to shoot with rain clouds approaching...
