Found some ultra-fresh mountain top raised D24s!
Have been hanging in Bentong about 3hrs North of Kuala Lumpur. We came here because we were told the Durian is coming from here…..have found small amounts but discovered the market for Durian is in KL so its all transported there (well most anyways). Stayed in Raub last night, paid $15 auzzie for a hotel room, bargain, had a fan, clean bed and toilet so im happy! Got absolutely raveged by mozzies the other night so a fan is vital now.
Grabbed a cab to a town North of Raub and got 8 large D24s destined for KL, intercepted the truck just in time 
Have eaten about 6 already today, the locals love it and always run over with a machette to cut it open for us although I love just ‘stomping’ or pressing on it better! The 8 Durian cost about $28 which is a bargain.
Heading back to KL tonight, prob stay in china town and get some yummy sugar cane for breakfast although its waterdown over here.
Went for a great jog yesterday morning, first one for a week or so, have been dying for one.
Plan to get back into gymnastics, kickboxing, dance and yoga when I return.
Crazy Durian-addicts in Malaysia
Loving the variety D24s we are getting in Malaysia at the moment. Really soft and creamy, exactly like margarine colour and consistency but ofcourse they taste naturally much sweeter and delicious!They are about $2.50 a kg and a largish one is about 3kg. We have had about 8 each today, i feel like more as im typing this…..the truck is right on our doorstep so it is very very tempting.
Was watching some other tourists try Durian tonight – one was drinking Lemonade inbetween bites and was wondering why she didn’t really like the taste?!? Another couple grabbed a pre-packed tray after watching us enthusiastically down numerous fleshy pods. The girl was rather keen and offered some to her boyfriend, he bit down and then drew back and very quickly plugged his cigarette back in his mouth?! Cigarettes taste better than Durian? Doooon’t think so! But I can see why these people are put off when their tastebuds and sensors are so desensitized by unnatural overpowering tastes and stimulants. Ah well more for us!!
Heading off to Phang tomorrow where all the Durian comes from to find the freshest of the fresh & with any luck collect a bunch from beneath the tree ourselves.
Ciao for now
