Durian Season is here!

Yummy! The durian season is finally here! This is the first time the girls are trying durian and no doubt, they love it just like mummy does :q Freshly pry the thorny husk, see the dark yellow, thick mushy fruit, quick, put it in your mouth, hmm... so creamy rich, bitter sweet... *eye wide* chew ji (small seed), Yummy! Good till licking fingers!

Durian is the king of tropical fruit and mangosteen is the queen. Durian is a very "heaty" fruit so "heaty base" people are advice to take mangosteen (cooling) after eating durian to neutralise the body heat. Alternatively, can also keep the husk of the durian to contain some salt and disolve with tap water then drink it! I am a "cooling base" person, so no matter how much durian I had ate, still I dont get sore throat. However, I love the drink from the durian husk! Cooled man!

I love to eat my durian chilled too! Especially durian is a high cabohydrate food, very filling... the max I can eat is about 10 seeds. So the remaining, I will chilled it for next day serving and it taste like ice-cream :q

I do have some dislike about durian... that is the expired smell left on your fingers the next day, no matter how much detergent you have soak in, the smell just dont go off. Only after 2 days... then it goes off naturally and quitely. Another thing is the urine, normally after eating durian, your urine will looks very yellowish with tint of expired durian smell, so dont be alarmed, just remember to drink more water.
Beside the exotic taste I loved about durian, durian is good for me when I have my menses cramp, better than taking panadol... amazing right?

But advise for gout and diabetes patients and extremely "heaty" people, please eat sensibly, ok ;)
