We’ll Always Have Our Durians

He called me at 7.00 in the evening.”Are you free to meet me?”, he asked.

“Not now”, I whispered conspiratorily. “I’m in a meeting.”

I called him back at 8.00pm.

“Meet me now”, he said. He proceeded to explain to me why he desperately wanted to see me.

I sensed the urgency in his voice and agreed to see him despite the late hour.

As I waited for him, my heart beat faster.

When he arrived, he wasted no time in taking out the most beautiful sight any woman could ever hope to see. Thorny and hard, the smell drove me wild.

If friendship were measured by durians, this guy’s a keeper. *hugs*

  1. You’re killing me, LemonG.
    Oh, I can almost smell it!
    Strangely, after puberty, I could no longer eat uncooked durian.
    The after-gas burping tortures me too. ;-P

  2. lightfl:

    yup! woohoo!!!

    argus da lou:

    What a pity, Argus! But you’re okay with pengat durian, pulut durian and tempoyak?

    I love the aroma of durians. My car still smells of durians, even though it’s been more than 3 days since I carried those durians home!

    I can’t stand the burps, either, unless they come from me, in which case, it doesn’t make a diff coz I can’t smell my own burps! 😛 Try travelling long distance with a carload of people who have just consumed durian…oboy…!!!

    msiagirl:

    A very kind friend.. 🙂 I’m surrounded by wonderful people and feel really blessed. 🙂 You’re one of them, msiagirl, and everytime I inhale the scent you made for me, I smile and remember what fun we had when u came to KL.

  3. I’ve only tried durian bubur cha-cha and traditional durian cake (pan-cooked to a thick lump – mmm, fragrant!) and western cake made with real durian flesh. All these I like.
    Tempoyak sounds like a killer – the Malay version of gorgonzola or blue cheese. ^_^

    Could smell my own (durian) burps – terrible! Pepperoni or capsicum too, can’t take.

    Had only one experience driving friends with durians – never again!
    It’s worst than sitting next to a cinemagoer eating dried sotong.

  4. ooooohhhhhhh …..I almost lick the screen to taste your durian. Your pic is so good that I can even smell and taste it.

  5. we can now confirm that U represent d epitome of an Xtrasensory eye & smell connnoisseur , definite requisites to embark on the next highest( ultimate ) level of more such hard sensuous thorny pamperments deep in da heart of unvirgin jungles of Bentung , Bukit Gantang and probably even Cameron Highlands. Yr guides are waiting for da nex command

  6. Awww..you have such a nice friend~!!! Must keep must keep~! It’s been ages since I last makan durian..sobsob

  7. argus sweetie:

    Oooh, now u have me dreaming of durian cheesecake from Bijan, chocolate durian from Just Heavenly Pleasures and durian tiramisu (yet to taste, but heard so much of) from Fatboybakes. Gotta love the fruit!! Argus Argus, when you come down, we’ll do a processed durian feast, k. 🙂

    I love tempoyak with ulam (raw veg), but not many places serve it. Maybe that’s why I love smelly cheese too. 😛 (Is there anything Lyrical Lemongrass hates?? :-P)

    Dried sotong – I have some dried sotong in my office. Everytime I whip it out, everyone’s noses wrinkle in disgust. They call themselves Malaysian, somemore! Cheh! 😛

    the cooking ninja:

    Glad to know that you haven’t forgotten ur roots. 😛

    wmw:

    Poor Teckiee is rather busy, isn’t she?? Maybe you should take over the planning? 😀

    team bsg:

    I’m beginning to understand your cryptic language…woohooo!!!….does this mean that I qualify to join the team? 🙂 So if we do a durian food crawl, you’ll take charge of the planning? Can can…WMW…you heard that? 🙂

    cookies_cream:

    Yep, he’s a great friend, and I intend to keep him…not just coz of the durians, but for a lot more reasons. 🙂 I hope you get your durians soon, girl. 🙂

    boo_licious:

    I think Team BSG should take over this from Teckiee since she’s swamped with work. Teckiee can turn up to eat when the time comes lor. 🙂

    mama bok:

    hahahahaha. Yeah. He’s a keeper, alright. Brownie points, eh? We’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we? 😉

  8. kampungboycitygal:

    I’m so jealous! 😛

    sze:

    LOL! Just about… 😛 Have you met Argus? Argus doesn’t like unprocessed durians. 😛

  9. I was SO SO SO delightful to find durians recently in the US…ho ho ho…I thought durians were fruits that I can just dream about here. Surprisingly, “creamy” and so nice….

  10. Terima kasih banyak2, ll :PPPP Temporarily..I’ve to stay from your blog, and the rest of the beloved MY floggers :PPP

  11. tigerfish:

    I’m glad you managed to find durians. I hear they’re terribly expensive in the US, though. But what price happiness, eh? 🙂

    meltingwok:

    LOL. Don’t be like dat, la. We still fren fren rite? Come come, I give u durians to eat.

    jason:

    You mean my secret love – D U R I A N S. 😛

    Precious Sista:

    Hehe. Like how you shared Max’s oysters with me, issit? 😛 😛 heeheehee.

    sc:

    Hehe. We’re so fortunate. 🙂

  12. babe_kl:

    omg girl! u must be in so much pain! I went thru that a couple of years back, so I know how bad it can be!

    xiu long bao:

    hehe! trying to imagine the both of you biting the screen. Of course, Li’l Princess would look cuter doing that, lor. You’d just look weird. hahaha.

  13. *comes back, sniff long and hard at pictures, drooling like a waterfall and tries again scrape the pulp off the screen* *wails in despair and leaves morosely*

    Q: Durians for lunch today? *hopeful face*

  14. barbie:

    Poor dear. Still no durians. U need to grovel more, girl.

    fatboybakes:

    ya lor. Sadly, I finished them all, so none left to make durian cheesecake. Next batch maybe. 🙂

    mycoffee:

    Aiyoh…looks like we shall be constantly fighting for the last piece if we were to eat together!

    nipples:

    You’re getting me a birthday cake?? *wide grin*

    jason:

    hehe. 😛

  15. Ulcers in the mouth? Chamomile tea is an excellent cure and pain extinguisher. Found that out from a dentist, some more — last year when I had a crop of painful ulcers.

  16. Malaysian durian used to have worms when I was growing up. This one is perfect! I love Malaysian durians. We can only get frozen Thailand durians in the US.

    p/s I am still swallowing my saliva….

  17. Hie..Hie..! Durians..Yum! Yum! Ur pics r making my stomach growl early morning, dear. Hahah… I love durians..but sumhow my younger brother hates them, so does my eldest cousin. *shakes head* Hahah..

  18. argus:

    that’s a useful remedy! Doctor, doctor, zitrongrass got any use ar?

    lee ping:

    I love our local durians. You know what, I can still eat somemore durians. I’m gonna get ulcers just like Babe soon!

    grace:

    the poor dears! they dunno what they’re missing!!

  19. You get ulcers for eating too much durians? I get cold sores. Usually, I eat durian (frozen) with a side of chrysanthemum drink. I would like a side of mangosteen (but often times, they are not available here).

  20. U poor thing! Cold sores are much worse compared to ulcers! Yeah, mangosteen would be ideal…love ’em too. 🙂
