D101 durians - fruits as bright as turmeric

These durians are not from Penang but you would never be able to tell .

Located some 40 km away from Penang island , these durians are called D101 aka Bangkok T16 . 

Almost bright turmeric in colour , it is peanut butter thick and sticky when just fallen from the tree , with a taste that is a cross between ice cream and a cup of coffee , very lemak ( fatty ) , sweet and lightly gassy , I swear if I weren't suddenly craving for durians , this bunch smelt as if the garbage truck had just driven by , no wonder some people can't seem to get over that bit .

That's ok ....less men more share . 

Heh heh heh 

As luck would have it , the Burmese helper said that this particular fruit , was not only super fresh from the farm , it was the ONLY fruit for the day and having just rained for 2 days consecutively , this WAS indeed going to be one of the finest durians we would ever taste , for now .

Price ? 30 ringgit per kilo , and after rounding it off , he asked for 75 ringgit , so yeah , it is kind of a whopper !

Satisfaction level ? 7 out of 10 . Nice ! 

Cons : should be eaten on the spot , it looses it's bright shade and disintegrates fast upon packing in plastic like what you see above .

Location : secret . Not in Penang that's all I will reveal ....too many China citizens crawling all over the place , I wanna keep this to ourselves if you don't mind , cos if it was sold on the island , it would command 2 times the amount !
