The Barbarian Gaul Food Critic - Durians

KING OF FRUITS

Durian's finger lickin' good ! C'est manifique ! <bis bis>

What exquisite taste...pungent, creamy, yet sweet with a hint of bitter-ish je ne sais quoi....hmmm

Then hits you with a nasty burrrrrpppp.....oooh after taste is like an orgasm from heaven.

Anymore daddy ??

YEAH, bring 'em on !!

Yummy...

When Lucien was a month old, he had his first taste of probably Thai durians which we bought from Vanguard in Zhuhai. Aunt Connie wanted to try the quality of the durians in China and was disappointed.

14 June 2011, I brought durians from Singapore which came from my usual vendor in Geylang Lor 21 who claimed that the durians came from Cameron Highlands. They were the best I have tasted for a long time. At 7 1/2 months old, I am not sure he has acquired the taste for the "king of fruits". At this stage, Lucien seems to put everything in his mouth.

After about 7 months, the breast milk is gettng scarce and also without the usual nutritional value. Consistency is almost like water. So it is time at 8 months, we are try to cut off breast milk and instead give him egg custard, fruit and bone marrow flavored congee boiled in a slow cooker for hours. He still needs the milk powder to supplement but refuses from time to time because it comes out of a bottle with a fake rubber nipple. We found if we trick him, instead using a bowl and a spoon, he seems to be ok with the milk powder.

ON A LAST NOTE - My Hero My favorite Cousin

Theodore promised to teach me my first barbarian "ways of the world", when I reach 12 years old, circumcized and ready for my first orgasmic action hero feat.
