DURIAN is THE KING!

09 Aug 2009
timvoon

DURIAN! YEAH! been craving for it. Mom too craving for it. so she suggested we us to buy at 3rd mile old market. normally i dunno where to buy and who to trust. cos kch’s durian semakin mahal.

and so we went to 3rd mile old market around 9 or 10pm. here is the trick. u want ur durian to be cheap and nice. thats the time ur gonna go get it.

why? cos they wanna tutup kedai and pulang rumah tido liaw hor.

first he said one for RM7, and we went WHUA! SO SMALL LER…

by experience we somehow know how to choose by sniffing and holding the durian. those with sharper thorns. where ur palm gets very sensitive.

that my friends, IS CALLED FRESH FROM THE FARM!.

the blardy thing is tat. they lied about is. THEY SAID ITS FROM SERIAN. but friends from serian said tat ONLY GOT FLOWER HOR… even baby durian not out yet.

after wasting some 5-10 minutes. the boss beh tahan.. mau balik looking very sleepy. he said. 7 BIJI RM35. but at the end we paid RM33. so eh . cheaper ler. thank God…

since so cheap. we meh meh sapu lo without any second thought.

home we went. Gave Cynthia 2.

Mini Studio is we i get to shot all this…

God is Good. All the Time. why?

becos to our surprise. all 7 ARE GOOD DURIANS!.. very lemak and bitter.. some are sweet too! all are perfect.

just look at the texture… tho its smaller in size. all tat matter that. ITS NICE.

nyaman eh! closer.

wide.

sedap i tell u. i dunno where is the real location they get this nice durians. i know its not from Serian. where ever it comes from. its nice.

u say la. sui or not…

wanna eat? GO BUY LA AHHAH!

in KL. Durian Price is so damn expensive. even before when i was there studying and working. back then was in 2003. that time was with the shell its RM6 per KG. wtf. I DUN EAT THE SHELL LER LAU pAN!

but we know where to get good and most of all Cheap durians.

CHERAS IS THE ANSWER! RM1 for i biji.. ppl from KL dun eat durian that taste bitter. as of wad i see and know. they like the XO LAH!. wad ever name they gave D26 or D27. who da hell cares. all i care and all i want is

DURIAN with no extra names. ahhaha! KHO BAK is the one i want.

the KHO BAK i had in CHERAS RM1 for 1 durian. we had 10 durians. 3 of us.

we almost PONG CHA!

back in kch. heres wad i had. and im happy with… Hui Sing round about durian looks and smell nice. but when u open. it sometimes disappoint u.

Lemak durians comes with thick fillings. and the HOOD is tiny…

so u can see the “HUD” difference between the normal durian and the Lemak ones. u compare the LIULIAN HUD ok!

kenot finish ah. put in container and keep in freezer.

and i still have in my freezer. if u love them ur gonna crave for them or ur already sick of eating them. but if u hate them. im so sorry for u.

SO THE KING OF FRUITS IS HERE. can the tahi cicak escort them to the market… TEPI DULU TEPI DULU!!!!!!!!

timvoon

the Jagung is back!. yea bought 3 Ikat of 5pcs per Ikat. so its some 15 pcs of Jagung/ sweet corn to gulp!

wad ever they said about the Taiwan Breed, American Breed, Japanese Breed.

all tat im not interested or even wanna have a try.

this is the Batu Kawa RPR Breed. and its good enough for me. compared to others.

Taste and Texture are different too from others.

and most of all its CHEAP.

for Rm3 i can get 5pcs per IKAT. ain’t tat cheap.

never a chance i get a rotten one. wanna know why.

because when i buy. its fresh from the farm. meaning. its very fresh. meaning when we go there. there and then they pluck the Sweet Corn for us.

we are their regular customers. always i will call my friends who wants or Love sweet corns. especially my neighbor LOL.

so most of the time. when the Aunty sees me. she will go. MAU SAPU HABIS KA. (do u wanna take everything) most of the time if it’s during the evening time. where there are 5-7 Ikats left. i will… eheh…

i dunno wads their healthy or unhealthy thing about these sweet corn.

from my mom’s info. she said tat it will get u to shit pretty often.

which is good.

so hopefully i can get some today after bringing Cynthia home.

2 weeks ago. before going to Barsaga for dinner with the gang celebrating the Superstar Edwin’s birthday. i went to have my late lunch at Sushi King.

with my favorite, SAKE SUSHI.

i called a friend wanted to asked her to join us but then i kena

here is the logo on the tray. as always i forgot to take the signboard. always forget. ahahah! paiseh.

heres my Mushroom Sauce Chicken Combo.

why i say disappointing because they reuse the OIL OVER AND OVER AGAIN. and the chicken tasted like CHAO TA! burnt or over cooked. especially the skin. which is my favorite part of THE CHICKEN! and it tasted so bad. of cos la. potong my appetite lo. make me wish i was at KFC. haha.

tried to stuff everything in. well..

still theres always someone who is against my oppinion. cos they still say MARRY BROWN is their favourite food.

well mine will always be KFC. or i rather dine in Chica.go 7. the chicken is better.

SUNDAY MARKET YEA!. honest speaking. its my first time in almost 10years since i last step foot there. why?  because ITS HUMID IN THERE. and NOTHING FOR ME GET THERE and TOO CROWDED.

when we got there that night. not many ppl cos its almost closing time

it felt so 1% pasar malam in KL. cos in KL. theres food. TONS OF THEM!

here ah all stuff for tourist.

we saw the APAM BALIK STALL! where i think makes good business. and when we took out our camera, THEY SHYOK ABIS! FEELING FEMES. ahhah!.

6 working PANS for action. can feel the heat standing beside it. now adays its the THIN SLICE APAM BALIK used to be the thick one rite. so now consume 1 will never be enough.

Thanks to SUPASTA EDWIN THEN. he bought 10 pcs for the GANG to share.

flour mix with water then stir the place on the pan. add butter and peanuts. wait till dark brown.

flip it and done. looks easy eh. but standing there looking down for the next 3-6 hours. ur neck can tahan or not? SURE SOUR tell u.

1pc is RM0.60 , LAK KAK. in hokkien. LIUK KOK in Hakka.

Special is RM0.80 per pc. the mandarin word. no i no no how to read.

Happy Bak Chang Festival 2009

28 May 2009
timvoon

Every year my mom will make Bak Chang for us, relatives and friends. and some for my close friend(s) heheh.. if she allows. this post is about how she make it. wrapping up from Pandan Leaf with Glutinous Rice and Chopped to bits Pork meat with Mushrooms , HEHBEE (fried shrimp, i think) and the sweet sweet stuff i dunno how u call it ahhaha!.

Its the Nyonya Bak Chang.

here is the fried glutinous rice.

Pandan leaf curved it in to the angle needed. and hold it firmly. if u slip then u need to redo it. this thing need experience and skills. i asked her do u need help from my friends, she went mai mai mai.. chitkeng later mai mai mai. hahah!. do alone better. no need waste time, oh ok lo.. as u wish. but i kinda pity her lo.. sendiri buat. my aunt dun wanna help her. she rather help her neighbour. sobx.

then u put the rice in. look at how she holds it. then spread it to the side for space to put the LEMAK PORK MEAT WOOTZ!!!

and of cos the nut is the most important one!.

added more meat to cover it..

and more rice to cover the meat.

wrap it up and tie it with the specific type of string.

and leave it hanging till it reached 10 per bundle.

after that to put it at one side waiting to let it boil. boiling takes about 1 hour i think or more im not sure.. i know she uses a big barrel to boil. which can fit about 4-6 bundles. she uses 2 barrels so can save more time.

here are those cooked ones. oh my aunt helped to wrap some 70pcs and i went to collect them to bring home for boil… and my uncle ordered 100pcs to give away. so mom have to wrap another 30 for him then the rest are for own relatives and friends.

side angle from the bundles hanging.

moment of truth. bring to my ministudio for shooting of course ahah…

are u ready kekekek… getting hungry yet? kekekek…

TADAH!!! tataTATADAH!!!! looks great isnt it. the aroma smells great. even my uncle can smell it from the garage outside hahahah! not this one la but those at the back which mom just took out from the barrel.

KUA TIOK TU SONG AH!.. ahhah! but i cant take much each time. i dun care wad ur record is. mine max is 2. and im bloated already for the rest of the afternoon till dinner even.

feel like getting a bite or not ah? want ler want ler haaahah! hungry mer.. not really la hor kekekek…

for my lovely friends from the gang. im sorry i cant send or give more. i wish i could. but wad if, if ur reading my blog. u can drop by my house. i will prepare some for u guys. and we makan together. and hang out at my house celebrating the Bak Chang Festival together. aint tat a great idea? yes? no?

its ur choice. thats all i can give. one each ok kua rite heheh…
