D24 DURIANS ....
Don’t we all have a love hate relationship with durians…?
On one hand, I can’t help but be tempted by its fragrant smell, the luscious yellow flesh, the sweetness of the fruit and not forgetting its soft touch and nice exterior. Once you start, you can’t stop, the taste is heavenly. I especially like those which are bright yellow in colour like the (D24) durians. I always imagine the durian calling out for it to be eaten; it would be such a waste not to sink my teeth into it. The durian is indeed the ‘king’ of the fruits and I don’t see any of the other fruits being in contention.
On the other, durians leave a terrible after taste after eating it. The lingering taste will last for a couple of hours and even a day or so. I always have the use Listerine and Fishermen Friend Lemon to try to rid my mouth of its taste. As I am quite a self conscious person, I made a vow not to speak to anybody for at least 15 hours until the taste if gone as I really don’t want my friends to suffer from the bad breath.
Secondly, durians are heaty and you will have to gulp down many cupful of water to hydrate yourself. I always have to force myself to drink at least 18 cups of water after eating the durian. How do we know than when we are ok? Simple- the urine test. The colour of your urine determines the amount of heatiness in your body. If your urine if bright yellow- bad. If it’s light green – safe. I can’t imagine myself talking about this, but what the heck. This is as good as national education.
Lastly is the all the exercises required to burn the amount of fats that comes together with the durian. I have to go for my morning jog tomorrow, I hate fats and I don’t want to grow fat. We should have fat free durians.
I normally abstain from durians as I hate its aftertaste and all the side effects. But I realised I probably would not have the luxury to taste it for the next couple of years and why not savour it for as long as I can. I want to try every single local dish before I leave, not forgetting my favourite Hanainese Chicken rice, Carrot cake, Prawn Mee, Oyster Cake, Nasi Lemak oh my…I am already drooling! So friends, do make an appointment with me and let’s go on a makan sutra …
(PS: ling sorry you can’t taste the durians… you can try picturing it in your mind it helps…. And the good thing is its absolutely fat free…. Cheers)
