Black Thorn Durian at Suling Hill

May 30, 2020 1 Comment

Black Thorn is not expensive on Suling Hill. When the rest are selling at Rm65 per kg plus (in 2019, prices reached Rm115 in some places) Mr. Ong has stuck his price at an impossibly low Rm40 per kilo and is sticking by that decision. Because making money is not the intention of this small […]

Getting Drunk on Tupai King Durian in Relau, Penang

May 15, 2020 14 Comments

There came a point July, 2019, when I swore I needed a day off of durian.

Old Red Prawn High On The Hill at Soon Huat Durian Farm Balik Pulau

June 1, 2019 12 Comments
