My LURVE Affair with Durian

If you don't know that I'm an avid fan of durian, you must have just started reading my blog.

Durian has always been the taste that I crave since I can remember anything in my life. In fact, the first memory of my life is eating durian with my family members at a Petronas gas station! That's how prominent durian is in my life.

Back in Ipoh, my dad and relatives have always been experts in buying durian. Without throwing out any penny or effort, I got to eat the most delicious durian for all I want. However, that changed once I left home to pursue my education and of course, now when I'm living in KL to work.

I found out that durian cost a bomb to eat. Being stingy and not exactly a very good durian buyer, I kinda stayed away from purchasing any (Zach's loathing towards the smell is another factor too). Thus the early days of my student life outside of home has always been dedicated to my longing for durian, which was apparent in my hairstyle.


Nevertheless, I did find good replacement for durian in other forms in KL. Such as... Durian Pancake!


Despite being equally expensive (or even more) I do think this shit is wonderful! It's the closest thing ever from the real durian. My favorite is no doubt the ones available at Shanghai 10 Avenue K. Yummy!

Other than that, there are other durian flavored food that I do like. They range from durian egg tart (John King), durian donuts (JCO and Big Apple), durian cheesecake (Secret Recipe) and etc.


However, I do look forward for the day I get to join KY and Mell for a trip to Durian SS2. I had to FFK them last Sunday due to unforeseen circumstances. As this weekend I'm heading to Malacca, let's just hope that the schedule is clear for the next weekend for Mell and KY.

Now you must be wondering why am I so motivated to profess my lurve for durians? It's because I'm taking part in the Lurve Affair contest by Lurve.


It's a snack unlike no other because it's a multigrain chip snack! That means it's a much healthier snack unlike the rest which are bound to make you fat. Ho ho ho. Now I can snack and at the same time don't have to worry about gaining fat. On top of that, I even have a shot to win a MacBook Pro from this! Woohoo!!

My favorite flavor is no doubt Spicy at this moment, but I'm crossing my finger they'll come up with a Durian flavor, please!!
