18 May 2008, is the durian day for me after 2 years of 'durian fasting'. My colleagues collect the money and 1 of us sponsored their house for the event venue. I really ate a lot of Durian yesterday, and that doesn't include Rambutan, Manggis and other Malaysia's local fruit. My friends bring their family to join our own 'little' gathering.This durian flesh is yellow-coloured. The taste is creamy and sweet.
In malay culture, Durian is supposed to be eaten with sticky rice or 'pulut' alongside the coconut extract (santan). For the enthusiast, this is their zone. They can go for 2 to 3 durian at a time. But it is not for me, i prefer the durian only. Plus, after the gathering. My head is spinning cos of durian overload.
This fruit is rarely seen or heard even for malaysia people. I'm not sure whether the spelling is right. I call it 'stong' fruit. hehe. For some people, they like to eat with ketchup or rojak. The taste is sweet and sour. Even the skin also delicious.
These are the side dishes and our spot for this event. I forgot what drink is it but it kinda taste like lemon and syrup. Hmm... but anyway, the 'eating-party' is really great.
Umar bin Abi Salamah(ra) related that Rasulullah (saw) said, "Say 'Bismillah', eat with your right hand and eat what is near you."
Even if we were in the food heaven, or the meal is free, we can't waste it and thanks to Allah SWT for blessing us with the food.
Jabir(ra)related that Rasulullah(saw) had asked for the leftovers of food on the plate and those stuck on the fingers to be cleaned while saying, "You do not know which part of your food that carries the blessings."
