The King of Fruit

Night market in KL

Carrot cake stir fry - strange but nice

Food on a stick, boil, fry or grill all in a custom built truck

This evening the owner of the guest House we are staying at, Christine took us to a night market.

Then after we were all stuffed she took us to a durian restaurant where we got to try something completely different.

Lots of stinky Durian Fruit

Durian is called the 'king of fruits' renowned for smelly foul but tasty delicious! It is hard to describe the small, almost like gas I suppose, but locals around Asia love it! It is like their drug. Once you are their for a while you kind of ignore the smell and it isn't that bad and to us it tasted like creamy leeks and very rich.

Durian rubbish

Then again it really isn't that bad as they say our blue cheese smells a great deal worse and I suppose I agree with them.
