This was a week or so ago.... I went out with Son, Siah and Ling for dinner at Lot 7, which is opposite PMC. In the recent months, Lot 7 has been given a second lease of life cos of the 'redevelopment' of the area, mainly spearheaded by the expansion of PMC. So, the area has become more 'lively' now.
It was a time of indulging... of bak-kut-teh, chicken chop, cockles, la-la, Hokkien Mee, satay. Food seemed a lot but the gals said it was just right for them. Guess I was a rather full cos I had to stuffed in more of the bak-kut-teh. Son said his stomach would have room for the bak-kut-teh after his chicken chop and satay... Conclusion: never take words given on an empty stomach. They tend to be overly optimistic about their own ability to stomach the food!
And this is another round of makan... not of the sort above, but something very Malaysian of nature. 8) Yesterday night...
This makan together was for... durians! Durians are aplenty now... This came all the way from Bukit Mertajam, brought to be shared with us by durian buffs. This particular one is huge! And they're even joking about bringing a mini lorry load the next round. LOL!
The King of Fruits is a great re-connector. It brings people together to enjoy it. So, we sampled all the different durians, entertained by Prince, a one-year-old really cute mixed-Maltese puppy which has just come by air from a land far away!
The durians were good. And there were so many of them to sample! It was a good thing that I did not take dinner and had just come back from my games. Other Half was a good sport and came along. He's not your regular durian fan, you see. But in the end, he obliged and stuffed down a few ulas.
And oh yes! Good durians also deserve appreciation and admiration... this is a photo shoot of the humongous durian above! I think I've not eaten so many ulas of durians in one night like this for quite a long time.
But all in all, it was a night to be remembered.

Random Shot, eeek... I can smell them out of your blog. Aromatic durians. We had a feast at a friend's "dusun" near Seremban. They are of the "Kunyit" variety.The texture was silk fine, the taste was heavy with bitter tails ( my favourite) type and the smell...well it hung on to your breath for a long while.LOL
AJ7 - u r so tak fair :(

PP.. don't you get frozen ones there?
i can sometimes get them fresh from the chinese supermarket, but if i eat any durian, i'll probably get evicted from both home and office :(
