I knew I would have a great weekend when I was invited along on a trip together with victor and william. The destination was a fruit orchard at rural Sungai Teku area. It is William’s ancestral village.The motive : to sample a variety of durians. I had so looked forward to it the whole of last night I could hardly sleep.
This was definitely durian country. There were durians everywhere. On the trees, on the ground, in baskets, inside the house and outside the house.
I was a little weary of durians falling on my head. While we were there. We could hear durians dropping all over the place. There would be a loud thud as a durian drops to the ground.
This man picked up a durian within seconds of its fall. Such a friendly and kind man. Was indeed an honor to be there as a guest of the family.
Then we all gathered together sitting on long benches while the expert cut durians for us to eat. They had brought us the best the orchard could produce. You can well imagine what a feast we had. Price was not an issue as we were family guests and it was free. 
On this particular farm, the fruits were free of pesticides.
After eating durians, it is a custom to put water inside the durian husk as in pic and drink it. The reason being that it is supposed to cool down the body.
Have a great week ahead every body.Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in for Green Thumb Sunday by visiting As the Garden Grows for more information. Join

Looks like you had a nice time gathering durian. It’s been years since I’ve had durian.

I was a fanatic of durian last time, but not really like it when I grew up, haha~~!
I heard is putting water salt in durian husk then drink it. Last time I practice it, haha~
yes, some ppl prefer to put salt in it. i didnt follow this practice though
I look so unnatural in the 1st pic and you are so sexy in the last pic.. ^_^
Ancestral village? LOL… Sounds very ancient.
Forever28 is right. You missed minor details. Salt water, not just water.
And you need to drink according to the amount of durian u eat. Like if you eat 5 durian, you will need to drink 5 times. Just kidding, I made that up. He he..
oh at first i didnt know u made it up hahaha
aiyo brader! you giving your female readers hot flushes again!
oh, i got the pic from the net
Isn’t it dangerous to collect the durians at the farm without wearing a helmet or something over your head?
Btw, where is your post on the next episode of your drama? : )
it is posted under the title No Turning Back
look like somebody had a misadventure with the barber, or is it a pre-cautionary measure to disspell the ‘heat’ from eating durians. i’ll be in sibu this weekend.
