Mission - Cendol Durian

 



It was initiated by one of those random talks about the things we should be doing to churn the days of of remaining annual leave at the end of 2018.



Rather than rattling on to decide where to go to wrap our 2018 getaway we agreed to spend a night in KL instead.


Kamil is our KL guy. He knows the city in and out.

One of the things he recommended to us was to try this cendol durian near Kampung Baru.

Personally I like to have cendol and durian separately but heyyy, why not spending for the combined for a good RM12 right?

Located about a 5-7 minute walk from Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, it wasn't difficult to find the stall selling this favourite cendol durian of Kamil.

Vendors selling durian were pretty much drawn us to the stall. Tempted to stop at one of them for a quick taste, Kamil's swift pace heading towards the stall was an indicator he would not appreciate my intention to fulfill my durian desire LOL.


Once we reached the stall, we realised they were also selling other meals like ayam penyet. Thus it drew crowds to their stall and finding a spot made it quite a pain. But somehow we managed to find a table next to the vendors selling other fruit such as bananas, mangoes etc. Huh, other fruits were so not worthy of our attention that day LOL #DurianFTW

Durian Runtuh, well not literally haha

So according to Kamil we won't be disappointed once we see the portion. And he was right. 

It's pretty isn't it?

Shaved ice, coconut cream, palm sugar syrup, sweet corn, wiggly cendol and of course 6-8 pods of succulent yet soft, tangy, creamy God's lovely creation called durian in a bowl that translate to LOVE. Sorry I got carried away :P

Though it was not the very best quality of durian but still, combining with the coconut cream and based with the cool shaved ice was just something to die for.

Trust me if there's no one around, I'd have my way with this


I wasn't kidding hahaha


I think I devoured the whole bowl in less than 3 minutes. And I actually wanted a second. Tried to convince Yan to share a bowl with me but she was so indecisive. But we were going to have dinner in a couple of hours time so we thought it would be best to just have what we had and stop ...

.... I regret the decision. Should've had more LOL.
