Desire For The King Of Fruits

Our strong desire and urge for durians led us to First Garden during lunch time.... It is durian season now and we know that the durians will be at every corner of this residential area....

the durians are everywhere...
located in different parts of the shop
with different prices...

my friend was still undecided...
left side or right side durians are better??

these are the expensive ones..
RM8.00 per kilogramme ($2.50usd)

over this side, they are cheaper...
RM5-6 per durian.. ($2.00 each)

ended up buying from this side..
cheaper ones...

finally each of us got a few to take home..

Just look at them!!
Yellowish, sweet and bitter!!

They ended up as part of my dinner...
anyone care to join me?
I still have some left for tomorrow night!
hehehee....
