Yet again the Durian Season is here up in the north (Penang). As usual we gather among friends all the way from KL, for this season. The weather is cloudy therefore there is not much scenery pictures I tool, basically some documentations of the Durians that we ordered. We could feel cool breeze blowing and brazing our faces while having this King Of Fruits at the Orchard.  After 2 session of this, I have already make up my mind on what type to order on the next trip, The Winner is Capri and Ang Hair. There is another one in our list which I did not took the picture of it as it arrive late, it is called No.11. I will provide the taste listing below.

1. Ang Hair - very nice aroma with smooth flesh texture.

2. No.11 - very stick flesh

3. D82 - normal sweetness with hard flesh next the seed. Some may like it.

4. Capri - smooth flesh and sweet

5. Hor Lor (water gourd) - the name came from its shape but the signification is rare when it is full grown, the test is sweet and creamy. A lot of units in one fruits. Well worth.

For this trip the damage is RM200.00

Presently - this year there will be 2nd round for it. Hopefully we can make it on the 2nd trip.

2011 May St Anne Photo Trip

wanted to visit this place for quite some time, but..you know, time ...! well , apparently we mange to make the time. there is an annual festival at this church every year on July 29, so before the lines down, the jams, and the lights out...I better go there to take some photos.

This place has transformed so much that I could not recognized, since the last time I visited. The roads are upgraded, more new buildings, toilets, dormitories, and landscaping. Very impressive and hope it will continue to be much better.

If I can make it on July 29 2011, please check back from more photos.
