Penang and West Malaysia Durian Tour

23 July 2012

The Penang/ Ipoh / Cameron Highlands durian and food trail tour took place from 1 July to 8 July 2012.

The famous Penang durians were in season at that time, and the group took every opportunity to taste and savour the different varieties. In Penang alone, 8 varieties of the top durians in the world were tasted.

In Ipoh the famous Musang King variety was purchased for the group by Juliet Chin and her sister Joyce and brother-in-law Chong.

The group also tasted the various local famous hawker foods and delicacies as the tour went from Penang to Ipoh, and then on the way down to KL toured other areas such as the Cameron Highlands.

槟城西马榴莲游

2012年7月1日星期日出发,为期一周左右的会员北西马之旅已被称为“榴莲和美食之旅“。

此行达到了主要目的使会员们能有更密切及更好的交流。开始它是为了品尝著名的槟城榴莲,因7月份正是榴莲季节。我们品尝了各种当地有名的食品和美味佳肴,然后一路游山玩水,参观一些从槟城到怡保和吉隆坡一路上的旅游胜地,如金马仑高原。
