Now Durian Season is back which is usually starts from June till August which is about 3 months and the most peak is half way through where lots of durian’s in different flavours are able to get especially the good qualities. . In South East Asia, Durian is known as the King of Fruits with its large size, unique smell also cover with thorns on its shell that a Durian can easily weight from 1kg to 7kg’s depending on types of it. Durian Buffet at SS 2

Durian is a love-hate relationship either you love it alot or you just hate it, as I am a durian lover of course I love it alot and looking forward for this once a year affair, some they just hate it so much as unable to bear the smell which is too strong for them to bear and I even have friends that smells it, they feel like puking.  As is only available in Asian’s countries especially in Malaysia and some of its neighboring countries of course I love this fruit alot.

The season already started bout 6-7 weeks ago and now reaching its peak as one of the famous spot to get Durian Buffet is located in the heart of SS2 – directly behind BHP petrol station you will get to hunt for at least 5-6 stalls. According to my friend, this stall was the only stall that operate in the area few years ago as with firsts of its kind to offer buffet style and then it had gain popularity among local crowd, more stalls come in to seize the opportunity. So we decided to go to its original stall which is the most crowded known as Durians SS2

For local type of durians, we are pampered with a lot of choices in types of flavours, durian meat texture, smooth, sticky, yellow colour meat, white colour, cream colour also with famous in the market now is Raja Kunyit or known as Musang King, Udang Merah and many more.

This would be my first time coming here to hunt for the buffet style as my brother told me previously that he had was a month ago, the buffet cost him RM25 but he had quite a satisfying one, as last night I went the price had went down abit with 2 choices to choose from:

RM 9 / RM 15 as what is the difference is that the quality of durian, of course we went after the RM15 which is not much different.

Even they have a chart for you to choose that filled with description or what kind of texture and flavour you are expecting . .

ss2 durians (5)

This is called D13 with yellowish solid skin, once bit it, its a bit sticky and very nice in aroma that burst in your mouth, that turn out the seed is pretty small and its sweet in taste.

This is another type of durian which I asked the guy and comes out a type of it which I havent heard before. .

Well, I would say for RM15 buffet we paid and with the quality we got, me and my friends are very satisfied with its quality, texture of the durian meat and the taste. If ask me is it worth, I would say super worth and we are planning to go again. – highly recommended. .

Once thing I was told by random durian seller that next year they going to increase in price as China will be importing our durians. . 🙁

Last 2 weeks, when I was working half way and got and suddenly got an email, 50% promotions on buffett at La Gomera Restaurant, I instantly open up to see what is the craze about and it was from a website doing this promo for only 2 days. I hit on Google and check out what is the comment from other bloggers and turn out to be not bad. . Moments later, my friend called up, saying lets go and try out, and I promise them instantly and think of where can we get buffet for RM29.90 nett and lagi lagi is Spanish food.

La Gomera

I think I would say this is the first of its kind, that La Gomera a Spanish Food & Dining is offering us buffet style that in business for less than 5 months.

La Gomera (2)

We reach there pretty late around 9.30pm as it stated in the vouchure that the restaurant open till midnight and there are no session in between which is pretty good as the vouchure only valid on weekdays.

La Gomera (4)

Inside its pretty comfortable but when I see the crowd inside the restaurant a big question mark pop up in my head.. after discount on the vouchure why the restaurant is pretty empthy?

La Gomera (22)

No Photos? I still take.. . .:p

A few sessions is available starting from appetizer.

A lot of my friends when saw me post up Karaoke in Taiwan in FB they asked me, Bok. .. are you okay or not? Go till so far you go Karaoke? Never sing before ah you? Heee, one of the reason that I choose to tag along with Pak is to see how their Karaoke place look like as every country have their own style, additional get to know more friends so that next round I do travel again to Taiwan (which is soon), it is more happening, with locals able to bring us and introduce me all the food that most foodie do not go. 😀 Then we head to NewCB Party KTV (星聚點西門館) .

It was on the second night that after sightseeing of Tamshui Fisherman’s Wraft, we hurried to XimenDing as we were late.

When we reach there, we thought we went to the wrong building, as it looks more like a cinema outlook rather than Karaoke but it turns out to be.

They have a classy hallway that makes it look like a hotel area rather than normal koraoke place which can be identified.

As this would be the big difference of the Sing-K place. Usually we have buffet including in our package that is situated directly outside but instead of buffet style, they are doing more like a food court style. You will be given some vouchures to utilise, if you finish the whole stack of vouchure then you can pay by money.

Varieties of food to choose ranges from Japanese, Local Taiwan Food, Hong Kong food and some Snacks.

karaoke (15)

The room filled with big leather couch, sound proof wall that plaster along with nice wall decoration is quite big that accomodate 10 of us with disco light hanging on the wall waiting to be turn on. There is a super clean toilet for us in it too.

karaoke (16)

For me, I don’t really go Sing-K as I am not a big fan of it as I don’t sing (which all my best friend knows about it) but the only place I enjoy my K session time is when I was studying in Melbourne that they follow Hong Kong style which means there are people singing, there are people ‘Chai Mui’ on another table and drinking at another table. This is what

I usually do, I take food and eat. . ..

karaoke (17)

Then when mood comes, invite friends to drink or challenge or play games.

karaoke (18)

Listen to people sing especially chinese songs, as I enjoy them alot, part of it I am half banana as I don know how to read but know how to speak so that makes me half. 😀

It was early morning and we are quite hungry. Each of us were given a coupon each and I thought that its a buffet style. When we found a place to sit on the outside for the smokers to get their early fresh air that they needed then only realise that its ala cart. 14 sets of food to choose from. All Look about the same, so we go for their most heavy breakfast set they got.

‘Theow Chiu Porridge’

The most heavy breakfast they got ‘English Breakfast’.

‘Nasi Lemak set’ was nothing to shout on that the rice is not warm, the curry chicken is mild and thick with spicy powder flavour.
