D & M

Durian and mangosteen season was in full wing. Hooi's parents brought us to this durian stand outside Kuala Lumpur and picked out the plumpest durians for a proper tasting of the prickly and smellerific fruit. Naturally, you must top of your durians with a round of mangosteens afterward. Even a peon from medieval times could have postulated such a correlation beforehand. So we relented to such generosity and indulged.

Palm

Malaysia produces the second largest amount of palm oil in the world. This was pretty clear when crossing from Thailand into Malaysia, where massive palm plantations commenced. Along with plenty of rice fields. Also, the roads were wider, cleaner, more organized, and had much nicer medians, along with more cars and less motorcycles, after entering Malaysia.
