"King of Fruits" or Durian ( Salako langauge: Duriatn) is a local fruits in Borneo Island. Sciencetificaly it is call Genus Durio of the Malvaceae Family or Durionaceae. Today (12.2.2010), around 6.00pm, after school I wents to the "Pasar Malam" or Night markets to buy some grilled fish for dinner. While rooming around I stop at one of the fruits market and here I am attract to buy 3 very big durian fruit. What attracted me to bought the durian not because of the nice and wonderful taste of this fruits, but for the seeds. To me, the durians is extra ordinary big and it is a local variety which is planted in the mountains of the Padawan district in Kuching, Sarawak. It's big, really big and from the seller I was made to understand that this durian existed more than 100 years old already, which is planted by the seller great grand parents. Here is the picture of the durians;
1) The three durians from three different trees.
2) This durian has a long, deep and sharp torny and it's weight is almost 8 - 10 kg.
3) This durian has short, shallow torny looks and it's weight between 8 - 10 kg.
4) This durian has the shallower torny, and it's weight around 6 - 8 kg.
The flesh of this durian is also big and fleshy. However, the taste is a little bit bitter and not so sweet as ordinary size durians. It is also quite crunchy, not like ordinary size durians which has a sticky type of flesh. Its flesh color is creamy yellow. For ordinary person like me, just one of the flesh is enough to fill up the stomach, and two,...I will surely can't finish it.
5) This is the flesh of the durian which has the shallower torny. The flesh is big.....
