King Of The Malaysian Fruit!

Wow!..the durian which is also noted as The King Of Malaysian fruits is in season now! Guess what, I had tried my hand at making muffins out of these fruit and viola!...it tasted great.

Before I give you the recipe, allow me speak a little about this unique fruit. If you haven't a clue of this fruit, it is usually oval in shape and is covered with thorns around the whole surface area. It is usually green to golden brown in colour depending on the variety of the fruit.

The flesh in the fruit is segmented and comes in various textures and colours. The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact.
Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive.

The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia

As for me, I simply love it. Since the start of the season, my family have had the privilege of eating it 3 times - all from our local states in Malaysia, being from Kuantan, Perak and Pahang.

Enjoy this video and look out for the 'How to Make Delicious Durian Muffins' next week!






You either Love it or Hate it!!
