Da jia ni men hao Mangosteen, or we call it "mangis" in bahasa. Very yumm fruit. We also use it for gamble. Cut the bottom part, and ask friend to guess how many inside. Cheers.

Mangis is meant to be slowly enjoyed. drool drool drool [/quote Da jia ni men hao Mangis, can serves both as the fruit and as the gambling tool It was common , during my childhood years. When it's mangis season, we will try to found the most difficult one to predict. Then we will cut it's bottom part, where it got flowery shape. By looking at it, we can guess how many flesh inside. The rule of the game is, whoever lose can enjoy the fruit and the winner will get the money (pocket money). In many ocassion, because we were clumsy, our uniform got stain from the liquid (of it's skin). The stain was very difficult to remove (like wine stain color). If this happened, at home my mom will gave "lecture." Cheers.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my favorite. Sarawak produces some of the BEST bitter-meat durian known to mankind. Much much better than Thai durian or even Segamat durian. King Of Fruits.

Eric ni hao Don't make me hungry What do you mean by "bitter-meat". Is it just taste plain, not sweet. Do you also make durian dodol ? I used to bought them from Pontianak. I agree, it's the "King" of the tropical fruit. Btw, I've never seen durian as makiwara, or people use it as a target in tameshiwari Cheers.

Bitter meat - the meat is not soggy and is a bit yellowish. Do taste a little bitter and smell FANTASTIC! Punching durian husk - psssss, my "secret" kung fu!

Hi guys,
What about "Dragon" fruits?
You guys seen this? Suppose to be a health fruit - good for you and blah blah blah.
Taste okay and if you have constipation, take this.
Ensure smooth passage everytime.
There is a lady here in Sarawak who got famous planting this.
The tree looks really weird - like cactus but twirls about looking like Medusa's hair.

Good day Hungfist.
As far as I know, the mangosteens cause a super stain on your clothes should it come into contact with it.
Also, I have been told they have a cooling property. Everytime we have a durian binge, we have a mangosteen binge the next day. Balance the Yang with the Yin I suppose. Anyone knows if this is true?
Also, I have heard that durian together with Carlsberg can cause death? Any truth to this?
Warmest regards, Tze Hou

Any truth to this? Warmest regards, Tze Hou Da jia ni men hao Regarding the stain, I ruined so many school uniforms because of mangis I've known several people become victims of the "DEADLY COMBINATION OF TRADITIONAL VIAGRA", which is DURIAN, BEER (white or black) and GOAT MEAT SATAY. These combinations always contribute to sudden death for the people who can't stand too many yang in his body. Doubt on this? Please do tray, but at your own risk. Cheers.
