Local fruits are in season

10th October 2011

Local fruits lovers are definitely looking forward to this. It looks like the supply of local fruits will be in abundance soon. Rambutans, tarap, kembayau, membangan and others will soon fill up the fruit markets, we're sure of that.

The first fruit that we taste this year from our grandparents' orchard is the durian which is also dubbed as the king of fruits. We know that some people cannot stand the smell (and taste probably), but this is definitely among our favourites. There are lots of varieties of durian, and the one that we ate was of the Monthong family, originally brought in from Thailand.


And wait until you see Borneo's unique kinds... our durian come in different colours as well. The flesh come in yellow, orange and even reddish in colour. For those who dislike the strong smell of durian, you probably will like "durian polo" which is also yellow in colour and tastes sweet but minus the smell. We'll post pictures of the different kinds of durian next time if we have the chance.
