I can't remember the last time I had mangosteens!<br /><br />Balik Pulau durians are the "famous" durians of Penang, definitely the most flavoursome I've had. :)Su-yinhttp://breadetbutter.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049501712439911731.post-36126579978632443292011-08-23T12:57:39.730-04:002011-08-23T12:57:39.730-04:00To Anonymous Number One (that's my mother): wh...To Anonymous Number One (that's my mother): when are the Leo birthday parties? And how come we didn't get invited? ;)<br /><br />HF: That is such a great observation. I can see the boutique on Piccadilly already...<br /><br />Frangelico: Absolutely. +1 to that.<br /><br />Frau Fancy: I'm so pleased! But I'd advise not getting it in London for your first try - it won't be Cinnamon and Trufflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10077749642622021125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049501712439911731.post-79391730997853060702011-08-23T11:28:56.106-04:002011-08-23T11:28:56.106-04:00You've actually described the durian so beauti...You've actually described the durian so beautifully that I believe I"m finally ready to pony up.

I think tasting durian at least once in life should be on everyone's to-do lists. Like me, you might find them exquisite and decide to make a regular habit of it! <br /><br />I am told that the best durians are to be found in Thailand or in Penang (northwest Malaysia). Would any connoisseurs be able to weigh in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049501712439911731.post-68379009672703225552011-08-22T22:07:48.968-04:002011-08-22T22:07:48.968-04:00I love the yin-yang reminder:) Mooncakes are so fa...I love the yin-yang reminder:) Mooncakes are so fancy these days, I see you had one of this "snow-skin" varieties!
