If you are still around KK for another day, you should ask Presilla to take you to the 66 market which is incorporated into the longish Old Town White Coffee outlet.( facing the Bandaraya Mosque) at tg. Lipat. In that building,there is one food stall which surprisingly had Imported fish from Uruguay!It is dried fried and served with rice! Wish you can try before leaving! i ate there very often after cycling along tg lipat.
Wow! Great-looking Sabah durians! Do enjoy! It is also one of my favorites. Just for info ( you need not believe me BUT,it pays to be careful instead of regretting it later). The Chinese community is very particular about what a person Drinks After eating durians! Stay off Any form of alcohol ( beer,stout n whiskey) and also gassy carbonated drinks like Coke,after a durian meal.Stay off .. at least a couple of hours. just plain water is best. There had been incidents whereby those who drank alcohol n ate durian simultaneously,had been admitted to the hospital when their abdomen got Bloated due to the strong reaction between the durian flesh n alcohol!

Good durians indeed, David. :) Wow, thanks for warning David. I recently ate a bit too much Durian and I also felt heat in stomach. So smart to enjoy in moderation :D
durians traditionally had been classified by their taste,ranging from the expected Very Sweet,Medium Sweet,Bitter Sweet and Bitter. The degree of fragnance usually can be detected by literally smelling the outer skin ( despite the danger of the thorns,pricking your nose n fingers).
We were really lucky with those ones, it was so sweet and creamy for cheap variety. Later some chinese couple gave us more expensive variety, but for me it was less good. Frecilla I think liked it more, so depends on taste too I guess😁
The name durian is from the word "duri" means thorn. Presila mistaken the pulasan as rambutan 😅 its ok because even some locals did not know pulasan..pulasan taste not as sweet like rambutan. Maybe next time you can visit durian orchards n see the durian tree, try durian kampung etc
