Nice recording! Love it, “hang out” made it even more fun too. Thanks!
hahaha…I went back penang and had durian kao-kao!!! Bought from Jit Lor Tong ban san!!
Love Durian…Haha My daddy will eat the worm of the durian.. He said it’s good 🙁
I got to taste a colpue types in Malaysia (which I snuck into my hotel ) and a colpue types in Singapore. I guess they would classify me as an amateur, ’cause I tend to like the sweeter, butterier types. But apparently the true connoisseurs like the really bitter, concentrated types. I think different cultures have different preferences too. The Chinese in Malaysia like their durian freshly ripe. Apparently the Thai like theirs a bit raw, when it can even be a bit crisp (is that true?). And the Malays like it really fermented, and they use it in cooked dishes too. I just got an email yesterday about a durian museum just outside of Bangkok. I hope to make it to Thailand some day!
