Intoxicated In Balik Pulau, Penang

There is only one main road and we parked our car right in front of a friend's nursery.  First time meeting her and she is such a nice and friendly lady.  Through her, we managed to taste the best durians because her family has a durian orchard.  :)
 Admiring some greens while waiting for our durians.. :)
While browsing around, I was telling myself...
"I gonna do some gardening when I retire.....
 
I like looking at the greens... 
They soothe my "computer" eyes....  
Then suddenly...
My eyes rested on these here!
Durians right in front of my eyes!
My friend is the creative one...
hahahaaa....
Balik Pulau Durians....
Pure Bred Ones......
Alas... I am a very small eater.... 
Just a few seeds....
And I kept *burping* left and right... 
*Excuse me*
Now I know why some durians are called XO...

    I had a few seeds too when I was in Kuching...and I kept burping after that. I don't usually burp, one. Terrible.

    The durian really looks good. Though a durian lover, I also cannot take a lot at one time.

    Yah, green is very good to eyes, when I was looking at pc for too long, I also tended to find something green to look at to let my eyes take a rest after long working hours!! =]

    OMGGGGG!

    What kind of durians are these? I've been to Balik Pulau before to get Red Prawn (Ang Heh/Udang Merah) but I also know they have different types of cultivars over there, rare and good stuff like Koh Soo Koon (which has no seeds at all and sells for RM 50 per small durian).

    Lucky you, I'll love to go to Balik Pulau again.

    Penang always had their own varieties with unique names! I love durians like crazy.
    I plan to retire back to Penang and live inside durian orchards. You can visit me there. Lol
