It is a rare opportunity that we get to visit durian orchard especially for a city girl like myself. Eddie, an IT graduate who used to work in KL decided to move back home and venture into durian farming business. I admire his determination and courage. Not many of us is brave enough to do so especially when you have a family of three to feed.
We were given briefing before the picking exercise.
The weather was exceptional good. See the durian fruits so high there. It worried me as if the fruits would fall down as we passed. No worries there are specific times for durian runtuh, normally during midnight. So farmers would pick their fruits 2 times a day at 6am and 7pm to ensure fresh fruits delivered to reseller.

Cam whore with low hanging fruits but these babies not ripen yet

They said weird shape durian usually taste the best.. is that true? I have no idea
Beautiful view facing South China Sea. The other side of land is our neighbour Sumatera, Indonesia.
We had a great time and thank you Eddie for your kind hospitality!!
