I must admit that we do have a great amount of fun surprising our friends with "Durian delights!"
One of these delights was recommended to me by my fellow blogger Stephanie-(Thanks Stephanie!).
They are called "Durian Puffs!" They look like profiteroles and can be bought in a delightfully simple bakery in China Town. They are creamy and fill your mouth with a "parfum of durian."
These Durian Puffs are a nice way to introduce people to Durian and get them used to the acquired taste.
For the more adventurous of you, you can try Durian fruit! Ideally start with the best quality known as Musang King. Fruit sellers can be found all over Kuala Lumpur and in Wet Markets such as TTDI.
If you still can't get enough of Durian then upgrade your taste buds to Sambal Durian/ Tempoyak (fermented Durian.) You can find this at the up- market restaurants Bijan or Songket or at a local restaurant such as Restoran Rose 911.
More information on these restaurants to follow: Bijan and Rose 911.
For Songket have a look here:
Songket Restaurant KL
Glad you found that stall Erika! You like them (durian puffs). Nice? Oh I can't remember the taste of tempoyak now. So will definitely tried it the next time I see this delicacy or eat at that Songket Restaurant. Thanks and have a great weekend :-D
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYes I did like them thank you for the tip. My guests however were not so won by them. I am surprised actually how you actually do get used to Durian. For beginners it tends to be a shock!
Thank you again,
Erika
