Yesssss…it’s DURIANS season and most Malaysians love this King of Fruits :) Of course the Piggies clan is not to be left out in this feast. Daddy bought some back ( he can never resist this fruit :p ) so Momsie gets to keep some ( a tupper of it…yay…. ) for her bakes. But for the time being I just eat it with crèpes …haha a fusion of French and Asian equal to mouth-watering dessert! Hehehe…. I kept a tupper ( sealed it tight and keep in the fridge ) for future bakes…will be busy searching for something yummilicious enough to bake. So stay tuned for some durian goodness ^ *
The crèpes recipe is from Angie’s Recipes and she has lotz of nice goodies on her blog. Thanks, Angie for sharing this wonderfully soft crèpe recipe :) The durian photos below are for my Piggies to feast on before they get to savour them...hehehehe I am most wicked where this is concern. Piggies will get to feast on them when they next come back , the durians season is just on... LOL!
creamy bitter sweet thick flesh...mmmmm
mmmmmm..... yum yum... this fruit is aptly named
" King of Fruits " in Malaysia :p
fingers-licking goodness....thick thick flesh....... ;0
I kept some for my bakes later...can ??? ;p
eat with the crèpes ...a slice of heaven no doubt :)))
all to myself (",)
I just had durian with glutinous rice. But never try durian with crepes before. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Elin!
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
I've heard that Durian has a very strong and strange smell (understatement!)>
How do you proceed to get rid of the smell?
Or does it go away naturally?
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
what a great combination of crepes and durian! how creative!
ReplyDeleteoh I looooove Durian!
ReplyDeleteThe best I had was Durian Milkshake, I'd love to find Durian ice creams, never have though yet .
Ithink crepes and Durian are a brilliant combination! :)
Oh, I would love to try some Durian too....it's so long time ago I had Durian....
ReplyDeleteIt's a love-or-hate fruit, you know, like blue cheese, and chou dou fu (tofu that stinks like hell) if you cann't stand it, then just can't.

I have never tasted fresh durian before but would love to try it, especially if it comes with these delicious crepes!

ReplyDeleteElin, I am drooling all over my keybord!! I love durian especially the bitter sweet ones. How I miss Malaysia durian :( :(
ReplyDeleteDurian ice is the only dessert that I make so far. Thanks for sharing this new way of eating durian.
ReplyDelete@ soo sean : To eat durian with glutinous rice is too rich for me :) so I tried it with this soft crepes and it was good :)) give it a try the next durian feast.
ReplyDelete@shizuokagourmet : Dear Robert, durians do have a strong and wonderful smell...mmmm much better than those blue cheese and fermented tofu ( aptly described by Angie ) :) The taste is creamy rich and sweet...at times you get the bitter sweet ones....mmmm délicieux !!! You either love it or hate it. Asian loves the smell of durians...LOL and there is no way to rid the pleasant smell..it will go away naturally. BUT the bad thing is when you BURP...the smell is horrible...I agreee :)
I cahallenge you to try it one day in your life...a food blogger must definitely give it a try..who knows you may love it LOL!!!
