Today is a perfect day for my durian binge, to commit my “durian-crime” without offending anyone. Why? Because the pungent smell bothers my mom. As I am home alone tonight, I drove out and bought two packs of durian for my smelly-licious dinner. RM 45 (after 50% discount), for two packs and all for me, makes me very, very, very happy. My bestilicious meal so far back home. And no, this is not a typical Malaysian dinner. Just me, deprived of ‘real’ durians ……
