We know the fruit seasons are in when makeshift stall such
as this began mushrooming along roadsides.
The King of Fruit, the stinky spiky, pungent fruit seem to
have mushroomed overnight. It seem that the year-end harvest is more than
usual. The favourites are the Musang King variety; distinguished by their
brownish-green or rather duck shit green and broad spikes. .
The flesh is yellowish, creamier, thicker and the best quality are known to be bitter-sweet to taste
Sukang is the jungle variety, less sort because of
thinner flesh and drier taste and some describe it as carrot flavour or ash like and
less pungent. These are collected by the orang Asli (Native tribe)
from the hills, so they are known as Jungle Durian too
I got to visit a friend who owns a small plot of Rambutans Trees on one weekend
who has some Geese that seem curious of its visitors. I don't know what bred, it's the grey and white and known to pinch, LOL!
Always sharing the season with the King of Fruits is the Magoesteen, hence it's known as the Queen of Fruits!
The second bake choux pastry was definitely a winner. Sorry the photos didn't looked what it should, it was taken with my mobile at midnight where the light wasn't helping.
I google for the recipe and source from four but nailed it down to two. Recipe adapted from : Quay Po Cooks & Nasi Lemak Lover , the second bake adapted from Small Cakes from Fondant Fancies to Florentines by Roger Pizey
Included in my package was a book of quilting patterns with lots of finishing ideas. Thou, written in Chinese and BJ can't read Chinese, I hope its illustration patterns and colorful pictures which is what attracted me to it in the first place is not hard to digest. At least that is what I saw in that book, for someone with zero knowledge in quilting. Its also the only copy on its shelf at Kino, so there was no second thoughts besides BJ came to mind the moment I saw it as if it was meant for her. Hoped you had had a wonderful Birthday, BJ.
