Cameron Highlands – More than a Land of Strawberry

Cameron Highlands. Everywhere we go, strawberries are everywhere. From the strawberry farms to the strawberries theme souvenirs for tourists. Strawberries growing on pots in the farm. Year end is not really a good time to visit as it is too cold and most of the bigger strawberries would have been harvested. Dried preserved strawberries for…

Durian Durian Durian

Times flies and it is the durian season again and time for another round of durian gorging. After 2 unsuccessful attempt, I finally managed to round up enough people to qualify for the durian buffet at our usual durian haunt. The unique thing about this durian feast is that for $25.00 each, we get to…

Bukit Brown Cemetery 2

Bukit Brown has more than grave and tomb stones. In fact everywhere we walked, we can hear birds chirping away. There are beautiful flowers everywhere and plenty of insects. I managed to snap a few pictures although it sure was darned difficult to get a good close up without a macro lens. Noni fruit

Durian Pilgrimage

For the third year running, I return to the hallowed stall of durian for the annual durian pilgrimage. This time round, there were 9 of us, the biggest group so far, I think. The stall holder seems to want to get rid of his durians. He keep opening durian after durian until we were truly…

Red Kiwifruit

Following in the foot step of the peaches and plum, the kiwifruit grower in New Zealand has come up with a new variant to the green kiwifruit – the red kiwifruit. The trend of fruit growers to mix and grow is growing intensity. There was the yellow dragon fruit, (a cross between the lemon and…

Durian Party 1

First durian party of the year and we went back to Ah Loon & Ah Teck of East Coast Road fame.atering fart and burp inducing wallop of a fruit. And buffet no less! At $25.00 per head, it was a steal considering that each type of durian at the stall sells at an average o$12.00…

Korean Melon

Picked up this interesting looking fruit from the Sun Moon outlet. It is a Korean Melon. About the size of a dragonfruit or a large apple, this looks like a cross between a bell pepper and a papaya. The inside looks like a winter melon and taste like a rock melon but not as sweet.…

Seafood and Durian

This evening a group of us went to ulu Yio Chu Kang to a small little eatery known as Crab Party. There was no crab partying there. In fact if I am a crab, I wouldn’t be partying there cos crabs get eaten there big time. After reading about how this place was supposed to…

Durian Durian

How time flies! Last year around this time, went for a durian party and now I’m back with a different group of friends. Wanted to go back to Four Seasons at Joo Chiat but was told it had closed down already. Well no problem, a click on ieatishootipost and voilia, a new outlet to try.…

Killer Fruit

Right at the top of the killer food chain is nicotine but this one most people willingly smoke themselves to death. Then there are poisonous food such as certain species of mushrooms and berries and of course the famous fugu. Oh yah and peanuts. Add to the list – star fruit. Yes star fruit! Got…
