Photohunters - Pointed

Posted on July 4, 2008 - Filed Under photohunters

About a month ago, my nieces from KL came storming to Penang since it was their school holidays and i was asked to bring them around for a food hunt. I knew they were all durian-eaters and so i brought them to Relau where they had numerous durian stalls.

To those who have no idea what durian is, it’s a local fruit here in Malaysia and it’s husk has torns pointed in all directions which makes it dangerous if it falls of a tree or being swung at someone :P

Consuming too much of durian could cause sore throat or worst, high fever.

Most tourist wouldn’t stand the odour of this fruit, so much so that most hotels have a no durian policy :P

Any of you out there a durian lover ? LOL i am one :D

    I was told durians have got “eyes”? They won’t drop on anyone’s head. But still it freaks me out walking around a durian plantation :P

    i had durian once during a vacation in Davao City, southern Philippines, and i love it! the variety i tried was not as foul-smelling as the native durian. enjoy photo hunting!
