Tangkak adventure...

Eventful trip. Shall not say much...Went to Alicia's grandma orchard..and lo and below. Took only very few pictures and the durians were super nice...should have taken what an opened durian looked like..but didn't :(

tried 4 varieties...Ang Hare, XO, Kunip and Thirteen..all different but all were good...XO were slightly sour...a bit of alocholic taste..and bitter, Ang Hare is light in color but creamy and bitter, Kunip...dark yellow and packed with sweetness and a little bitter aftertaste and Thirteen, light taste with strong bitterness as the aftertaste...on the whole, everything is nice. Alicia's grandma said,"come next year" Invitation accepted. Haha..

After the durians at Alicia's grandma house, went down to her orchard where we tried more durians..really a galore..those on the tree, those on the ground, those stacked by the side...Eating durians among durians trees..how would the durian trees must have felt?


We had beef noodles and claypot thereafter...super super good the beef..the claypot packed with a beef punch...Moo...:p We went back after that..between otah and seafood, I decided seafood was the better option..so swing by kukup..tried a third restaurant..simple meal coz our tummy were full but the seafood was so good..that we forgot we were full....and down the table of seafood...from cereal prawn, to mussel, to kangkong and then venison..it was ground zero in a matter of a short time..a very short time.

It was a enjoyable day indeed.. Really thank God for a really good day of simple rest in the midst of a very busy week..thank Him for the fellowship with Stacey and Alicia...and Nick and JiunMing...Going reservist on Wed...at least there is that fond memories to remember...and the stack of rambutans and durians seeds that was brought back..hmmm...

And Alicia's grandma is so warm and hospitable..Really a nice and wonderful lady... :)



The accidental pic that turned out to be a video instead...


Unripe mangosteen..too bad..but manage to find 3 ripe ones..we tried one...very sweet..haha
