Durian fruits at Satok sidewalk

Can't resist the temptation. Hmmm...it's the durians that drove me crazy today.

This 'King of Fruits' as many claimed it to be is back in town.  At Satok, makeshift stalls appear on sidewalk cashing on the durian fever. I notice the prices are reasonable and decided to buy a few.

For some the smell of the durians is pungent and offensive and make them dash 100 meters for cover. I am among those who stick to its super label - the smell of a thousand perfumes.

This is what makes travelling 30 kilometers to Satok worthwhile. Say your prayers.  This is a heavenly gift.

Last minute shopping at Satok

Today ( 29th Sept'08) is the second last day to do shopping for the Hari Raya on account that the Hari Raya will fall on the 1st of October throughout Malaysia, giving a full 30 days of fasting this year. At Satok tents are being put up to enable the customers do last minute shopping . Tomorrow will be the last day for shopping, come rain or shine.
