Mamarazzi noticed that some lovely local and overseas fruits are trending now in the Pasar malam around our place apart from the usual Banana, Papaya, apples and oranges.

Yup...Durian season is at its peak now. The King of Fruit is back. You can practically bump into a durian stall at every corner of the street here.
If Durian is the King of Fruit, the Mangosteen is the Queen of Fruit.
But surprisingly, both type of fruit are banned from hotels, offices, cinema and trains. Not sure about in aeroplane. Who wanna try?
Mangosteen is said to be "cooling". It's good to eat Mangosteen after eating durian.
Saw some website teaching easy way to open Mangosteen. That is to press the bottom.
But Mamarazzi can't seems to master the trick
Instead she squeeze it open.
Yum yum....sweet and sour.
Hmm...I wonder what else Mamarazzi would get from the pasar malam next.
I definitely love both durians and mangosteens!

Deletesame here...super yum
Greetings! : )
ReplyDeleteI have heard of mangosteen. It's supposed to be super healthful. Haven't seen that "King" fruit, Durian, here in California, though. I love the way the mangosteen opens! Would like to get some!
Greetngs Lisa
DeleteAll fruit have vitamins. we are so lucky to have so many types here
Both are closely related like both parents.
ReplyDeletewenn
DeleteLOL ya.,buy one must buy the other

i love sweet apricots too. here is very expensive!
ReplyDeleteAB
DeleteUsuallu its very expensive too but recently cheap. maybe over stocked like strawberry last round
I want bananas!!!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteSTP
Deleteerrrr....tarak beli wor
Durian buffet spread are being offered at many open air stalls all over the Klang Valley now. I see people pouring water on a durian shell and drinking it up after finished eating the durians. They say this is way it is less heaty on the body. Mangosteens are in usually in season during the same time as durians, perhaps this is Mother's Nature natural remedy for durian lovers. In enclosed places like fully air-conditioned offices and hotels, the pungent durian smell can go into the air-ventilation systems and trigger off a false alarm of a gas leak. It happened in my office (an MNC) many years ago. There was panic and all staff had to evacuate to safety. We opened all the windows. Nobody knew where the 'gas' came from. Finally the HR Manager and his team found the cause of the 'gas leak' which smelled like carbon monocide poisioning. Somebody brought kampung durians to secretly enjoy in the surau!
ReplyDeleteAutumn
DeleteLOL...i bet the person who brought durian would kena kao kao from the management :P

ReplyDeleteTM
Deletewah manyak kwah cheomg wor.
I used to love going to pasar malams at Taman Connaught and Sri Petaling. The variety is plenty and cheap but the crowded scene always gave me headaches!
ReplyDeleteTM
Deleteya I went to both pasar malam too. Really spoil for choice
I like to buy durians at Giant hypermarket when it is almost closing hours! Everything will be HARGA LELONG!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTM
DeleteTry Tesco. Musang King when near closing can get 3 packets for RM40. That one you can bargain with the promoters. Tried that before. They will give punya.
wow.. you just showcased 4 of my favourite fruits!! yummy1
ReplyDeleteCP
Deleteyes, super yummy
The cherry and apricots were good!
ReplyDeleteYee Ling
Deleteglad you like them :)
I love mangosteen but hate to peel them open. Just like rambutan, so difficult to peel. haha....
ReplyDeletemNhL
DeleteRambutan i used knife cut half and put them in the fridge. nice to eat when cold
Durian and mangosteens goes hand in hand, one heaty and the other cooling. Hotels don't allow durians because of the strong smell. Between both, mine is the mangosteens and those you bought looks quite nice.
ReplyDeleteNava
Deleteya they were good. doesnt have the yellowish thingy.
Silap jorr... ur Auntie Little Bird was drooling over the manggis. OMG! *PENGSAN* Looks soooo yummylicious and juicy! Fat fat flesh summore. Dies la... got to go and find it liao. Kempunaaaaannn!
ReplyDeleteAuntie Cleff
Deletefaster go raid pasar malam. a lot
Just curious,are those fresh cherry local?
ReplyDeleteTurbinemanlog
Deletenah..not local. The fruit vendor said from duno where. i forgoten the country
Although I'm into fruit juice production, I've not heard about this fruit before. Personally I would NOT like to eat a fruit that I can't remove the stain if it stains my expensive shirt..:-)
ReplyDeleteI don't blame the hotels for banning it.. They just don't want damages. But let me tell you some people can still bring it in without the hotel authorities knowing..
May
DeleteLOL...of course people would still bring it into the hotel :)
