DurianBB University - Raub Pahang Durian Farm Education Tour By DurianBB Park

This Post is Strictly for Durian Fans only.

DurianBB Park (Jalan Imbi) has just launched the DurianBB University in Raub, Pahang (famous for its' Musang KingDurian). The DurianBB University is a fun and interactive way for you to learn everything you need to learn about the king of fruits - the Durian. And the best part is you get to taste all the Durians that you can eat freshly picked from the farm fresh.

For only RM280.00 per pax (minimum 4 pax), you get to go for this special Durian course which is conducted on-site at Raub DurianBB University to learn how to pick, identify the different species, select the best and open the durians and most important to eat all your favourite durian.

Our journey of the Durian discovery starts from DurianBB Park site at DurianBB Park which is located along Jalan Kamuning at 8.00am in the morning. 

After travelling slightly more than 2 hours, we reached the DurianBB University campus which is located at Q234+G3 Jalan Sungai Chalit, Sungai Ruan, Raub, Pahang. The campus is a 10 acres durian farm and is planted with 4 species of Durians which is the famed Musang King, XO, Black Thorn and Tekka. There are more than 300 Durian trees in the campus with an average age of 30 years old tree.

On arrival, you will be greeted by the DurianBB University Professor Yee and his team. After a short break, you will be brief on the setup of the farm and each participant will be handed a DurianBB booklet which details out all the things you need to know about Durians.

The next stage is the best stage when you will learn how to prick open the King of Fruit and you get to feast (eat all you can) on your harvest of Musang King Durian.

MOODMOJEE - Anchor Food Professionals Icy-cool Beverages to Boost Your Mood

Following the success of its previous campaigns such as Say Cheese, PizzArt and Anchor Travel Cakes, Anchor Food Professionals returns to debut six new dairy beverages to boost your mood. These beverages were conceptualized and created by Anchor Food Professionals chefs to showcase the delicious possibilities of dairy in beverages, bringing a sip of global trends to Malaysian consumers.

Creative non-alcoholic beverages are catching on in all the major culinary cities of the world. Asian-inspired cheese teas and speaking at its launch of the Moodmojee campaign, Jack Tan, Associate Foodservice Director of Anchor Food Professionals shared, “We understand the versatile role dairy can play in delivering great taste, texture and appearance in any form whether it’s in beverage or cakes. Dairy is traditionally very popular with Western markets but this time, we wanted to play with local ingredients to give it an overall Asian taste and feel.”

He added “We are always looking at what’s trending around the globe and strive to bring it back home to excite our business partners and ultimately, the taste buds of Malaysia. We have learnt that creativity and innovation are important as taste to consumers these days.”

"Anchor Food Professionals Launches Icy-cool Beverages to Boost Your Mood"

Always on the pulse of global trends and a master of innovations, the dairy food service leader from New Zealand is consistently exciting its customers by sharing new ideas and ways of doing things. The end goal – to help their food services partners find more performance in their business.

The Moodmojee campaign will see Anchor Food Professionals partnering with fifteen food & beverage customers in both Peninsular and East Malaysia, where these creamy creations will be introduced in phases nationwide starting from November 2018 until January 2019. 

Designed as a mood booster, the range of beverages brings unexpected pairings aimed to delight taste buds. This year’s range promises pairings of zesty, sweet, savoury and salty flavours with creamy and smooth textures.

These six dairy thirst-quenchers include a Malaysian favourite that’s both whimsy and decadent – Kayanika Fusion – layers of sweet and creamy with traditional ‘kaya’, ‘gula Melaka’, ‘pulut’ and red beans.

For all the chocolate lovers, a drink to tingle the taste buds with the unlikely pairing of Yuzu and chocolate. The tangy Yuzu puree tempers the rich chocolate in the Yuzu Chocolate Surprise which is rimmed with salt lemon cooling candy.

The Pom & Grey Twist, a flavoured cheese tea is a refreshing concoction of mood-boosting Earl Grey tea mixed with pomegranate syrup, topped with a generous layer of chocolate cream.

If you prefer something with a zing, the Lemon Mint Meringue, is a rich lemon mint vanilla ice blended, topped with fresh meringue and slices of candied lemon and orange, is both a feast to the eyes and to the mouth.

Tangy Brew is rich cold brew coffee mixed with the tangy freshness of orange which explodes in your mouth followed by its satisfying mixture of cream and cheese foam.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the White Chocoffee which stands tall and proud like a shake with a crown of whipped cream. This sure-winner is a dreamy blend of white coffee mixed generously with delicious chocolate and peanut butter.



These 6 delicious drinks are specially crafted and brought to you by Chef Firuz (Kayanika Fusion
