Durian King TTDI 榴莲王 - Durian Season 2017 Is Here

Durian is one of the most prized fruits in Malaysia. This year 2017 has been a year where Durian prices have skyrocketed to more than RM100.00 per kg for Musang King during the pre-season.

The other reason for the price increase was due to the China factor; we last heard that Musang King was selling as high as RM500.00 per kg in China.

Now as the season progress, you can now enjoy the King of Fruits that have come down to reasonably priced. We got to taste the Musang King at Durian King TTDI recently which they are retailing at RM53.00 per kg.

Hopefully, as the season progress, we can get to enjoy a more sumptuous feast of the Malaysian treats. Do check out the prices from Durian TTDI facebook page for the latest prices.

One of the other treats at Durian King TTDI is the availability of the Black Thorn species with its pungent flavour, thick and meaty texture is a must for me.

At Durian King TTDI, you can request to be served the Chilled Whole Durian; it gives you that extra kick especially for those that love to eat Durian that is kept in the fridge. The difference is that this whole Durian which is kept chilled has a firmer texture compared to those that are kept in the fridge (which tends to be a little mushy).

Another specialty at Durian King TTDI is the the Durian Cendol which for me is a must taste. From RM15.00 per bowl with a scoop of Durian.

Meet Four Hottest Japanese Female DJs -Brought To You by Club Asahi

Don’t miss your chance to see Four Japanese hottest female DJ HILOCO a.k.a. neroDoll, DJ YUKIO and DJ Hannah Ichiko spinning live in Malaysia! 

Asahi Super Dry, Japan’s No.1 beer, is bringing to life the unique and colourful J-subculture vibes through a series of Club Asahi’s EDM dance parties. There will be eight club-based Club Asahi parties happening from 20 October to 2 December across Klang Valley, Penang and Melaka with Japan’s hottest celebrity female DJs - DJ HILOCO a.k.a. neroDoll, DJ LICCA, DJ YUKIO and DJ Hannah Ichiko.

At Club Asahi, immersion began as ravers step into an electrifying playground that gets their heart racing and mind bewildered. Ravers can sip a great brew of ice-cold Asahi Super Dry, walk through the cool fog screen and cascading lights, and capture moments that mirror the bright kaleidoscopic Akihabara city. To elevate the experience, some corners of the club are filled with arcade game machines that feature over 600 games, among which are the Street Fighter, King of Fighter, Bubbles, Pac Man, Metal Slug, 1942, Marvel VS Capcom, Bomberman and more! 

Charles Wong, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia said, “Asahi Super Dry, our premium lager beer, is brewed using a unique Karakuchi style to give a clean, crisp and refreshing taste with no bitter aftertaste. Club Asahi, which is known for its ultra-cool and sophisticated neoteric ambience, has been designed to elevate the Asahi Super Dry consumer engagement.” 

“With an aim of providing Asahi Super Dry fans with the ultra-Japan experience, we are exposing some of the unique and colourful J-subculture vibes through a series of eight Club Asahi’s EDM dance parties this year. Asahi Super Dry is not just about music and drinking. It is all about meeting new people, being engulfed in cool and trendy elements from a diverse culture and enjoying a great night out with like-minded people,” added Wong. 

Over hundreds of party, goers flocked FUZE Club KL and Red Room at Trec KL on a Friday and Saturday nights of 20 and 21 October as Club Asahi brewed the best beats with one of the Osaka’s top female DJ – DJ LICCA. On these two special nights, both clubs were amazingly packed with ravers flooring in at late hours to feel the cold glass of Asahi Super Dry in their hands, tasting the refreshing brew as they reeled in the vivid neon lights accompanied by the deep house beats of DJ LICCA. LICCA’s electrifying performance that featured top dance hits such as ‘Ciao’ and ‘We Wanna Party’ charged through with her transducive array of Hip Hop songs with techno beats. The night got even more excited when club dancers, clad in head-turning outfits, joined the charged-up crowd and performed mind-blowing choreography. 

There are still chances for fans to catch Japan’s hottest DJ HILOCO a.k.a. neroDoll, DJ Hannah Ichiko and DJ YUKIO performing live alongside club resident DJs at Club Asahi in Malaysia. DJ Hannah Ichiko will be performing at OZOO Club, Penang on 3 November and VIBES Club at Trec KL on 4 November. DJ HILOCO a.k.a. neroDoll will take the main stage at MiXX Melacca on 17 November and FUZE Club, KL on 18 November.

Besides Tangkak Famous Food - What Else To Do In Tangkak Johor

Tangkak (东甲) Johor is also known as "Fabric Town" or "Syurga Kain" in honour of its many textile shops. Many people know that Tangkak most famous food is the Tangkak Beef Noodles. If you are making a visit to Muar, you can pop by Tangkak to taste some of this popular dishes here. You can read about our Muar food trip from this link

Dr Wong Tangkak Tel: 06-978 1576

Besides the textile and food, Tangkak, Johor is also known for the treatment of skin allergy by Klinik Pakar Dr Wong Tangkak which is located along the main street of the Tangkak town. There are many people who have special skin allergy seeking treatment from this clinic.

On our trip to Tangkak recently, we explore some of the popular food that is served in this town. While searching for the Tangkak Beef Noodles, we found a Tong Kee Bak Kut Teh shop which is just the next door to the Tangkak Beef Noodles shop.



At the entrance, the strong aroma of the Bak Kut Teh captivates our senses and we decided to try it out (as we like to explore some options).

We ordered a bowl of Bak Kut Teh and a clay pot of dried Bak Kut Teh. We the Bak Kut Teh arrives although the aroma was strong it lacks the strong flavour of herbs that we like. I would rate it as an in-between version of the Kuala Lumpur and Klang version.

Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef

After that, we make way to the next door shop where we ordered the Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef Noodles. Taste-wise, it was as expected, nothing much to really shout about,



At RM8.00, the portion of the noodles was way too little for a town offering comparing to my favouriteTangkak Beef Noodle in Taman OUG which is RM8.50 for a small bowl, but having a meat portion that was much more than the one at Tangkak.



We ordered 2 bowl one which is, the first one was the mixed ingredient while the second was just beef balls. We order one takeaway with mix ingredient plus an add-on of 4 beef balls. When we reach home, they beef ball was missing end up we paid RM12.00 for this takeaway (felt cheated although the boss specifically asks me how many beef ball I wanted to add). Next, we made a visit to a few textile shop along the main road of Tangkak to look around on some of the offerings. 

We were told that Tangkak also has a shop that sells this Roti Terbang. We decided to check it out from the Internet which later we found that they have moved out. A check with one of the staff at a textile shop says that they have since moved out to the next kampung which she gave us the direction.

Roti Terbang Tangkak

We manage to locate this shop and was lucky as it is just opening its shop at around 4pm. We were treated to the flying Roti Canai performance. Apparently, this Pak Cik is very famous as even Martin Yan has featured him in one of its TV programs recently.

Overall, the trip was nothing extraordinary for the food that we tasted at Tangkak but nevertheless, it was a nice experience to visit this little town.
