  1. Wow Mel! I'm new to the forum and have been spending time reading the posts all over. I thoroughly enjoy your sharing with us what you're going through. I wish you all the best and I hope one day I will be brave enough to take the plunge, as you did.
  2. They used to sell Nutella in small little plastic container thingies that comes with a scoop - you're supposed to eat them as it is. Very yummy indeed. It's somewhat like the insides (the melted chocolate) of a Ferrero Rocher (they both are manufactured by Ferrero). I now am addicted to Kinder Bueno and wish they sell the stuff inside Kinder Bueno in a jar - it's more nutty then Nutella but just as good. Now Nutella only comes in a jar and they're rather pricey but worth every dime.
  3. Hi! I'm new to the forum. It's indeed interesting to read how foreigners describe durian. (Not only durians, in fact I love reading travelogues and 'see' Malaysia from a foreign point of view.) Anyways, AzRael and Shiemie, I think WoodApples are called Buah Belinjau. And you're right, they're not commercially cultivated. And Buah Nipah is correct, not buah Atap. Pan - the best Malaysian durians (heck, the best durians) are not found in the East Coast of Malaysia but rather the west cost, the best coming from Perak and Johor (Segamat & Pontian) although you can get some good ones from Penang too. I love durians. I'm dubbed 'Hantu Durian' by my family coz I can eat quite a few fruits in one sitting. But I only eat the good ones. And this is relative coz some people prefer the milder smelling and tougher flesh ones like the Thai durians. Some durians have very 'watery' flesh. I prefer mine to be like a very, very thick and rich custard, sweet but a tad bitterish taste. And they're usually a rich deep yellow (sometimes a hinge of red tint) color called Durian Tembaga (Tembaga=Copper). Or the D24 specie. Yumm! Yumm! Can't wait for the durian season again.
  4. Let me know if you need more 'authentic' recipes to try.
  5. Not only on the east coat of peninsula Malaysia, but everywhere! There was a time when it was rumored that MSG is made from animal bones and AjiNoMoto had to take out adertisement to dispell this - that it is really made from tapioca. (Most Malaysians are Muslims hence the HALAL issue) Nowadays, this flavor enhancer is not too poular because it is thought to make one's hair fall off. Btw, AjiNoMoto do make other products such as dashi stock, etc.
