cempedak

this is another favourite fruit of mine, after the durian of course.

cempedak is not to be mistaken with jackfruit.also not to be mistaken as ji-la-kak or celakak. ;)

cempedak's flesh is stickier, sweetier, less meaty and more yummier than the jackfruit. ooo thinking about it, already makes me salivate. ooo did i say, the smell ooooh... ok ok! not as strong as the king of fruit but cempedak too has her own distinctive smell and i too love it.

the moment you bring the baby back to the house from the market, you can smell it.

like durian, u can consume them at room temperature ie. while taking the pulp out from the soft oily/sticky shell
or,

chilled them in a box (warning: do make sure lid is closed tight in the fridge), then eat them. hmm....
unlike the durian (though i got to say, i never tried it with the durian-so who knows), cempedak is also best eaten fried. yes! fried cempedak. OMG! i think my saliva just dripped. *slurp*

tadah...mama's fried cempedak.

it is extremely hardcore stuff, cos once u start- u cannot stop, for people like me...

nah nah...seee...

the smell aroma, the crispiness of the batter versus the softness/sweetness of the flesh. OMG!...
and it's also extremely heaty- so drink loads of water/fluid after cos you dun want your nose to bleed. hehe! cue music...keep bleeding, keep bleeding...

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND! xoxo

Cempedak and durian seed planted together and become one fruit...have U try this fruit before...the smell is not as strong and distinctive like the durian or cempedak on its own. I have not eaten cempedak for yrs. Gosh...my saliva is drooling. I like fried cempedak.
