Sir Stamford Raffles on the Bataks:

"the Bataks are not a bad people, notwithstanding they eat one another"

Taken from: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Flats/2443/

Do you remember this post ?.

I just want to say, Bataks never ate another, even before they accept Christianity (majority) and Islam (minority, in Batak Mandailing).
The Bataks are not bad people although they always speak and sing loudly. ;D

In Indonesia, if Minangs people are known as traders, Bataks people are known as lawyers.
There are many lawyers from many tribes in Indonesia, but Bataks are in top ranks. At least 70% of Indonesian famous lawyers are Bataks. Even, few years ago I visited a law firm and I was very surprised when I found all lawyer and staff including office boy in this law firm are Bataks.

There are lots of Muslim Bataks in Malaysia like the Lubis, Harahap, Nasution, Pilus family... and there are Christian Bataks too like the sihombing.

Durian Trivia–14 Fascinating Facts about the world's smelliest fruit

About the Durian

* The durian is commonly known as the "king of the fruits." The name comes from the Malay word duri, meaning "thorn."

* Durians cannot be plucked from the tree. You have to wait for durians to drop. The fruit usually drops at night.


How to Select, Eat & Store Durians

* When choosing a durian, examine the quality of the stem or stalk which loses moisture as it ages. A big, solid stem is a sign of freshness.

* Visible holes in the outside of the durian can indicate the presence of larvae inside. Durians may be attacked by insect pests which lay eggs in the fruit. These develop into worm-like larvae, which burrow into the flesh of the fruit. When selecting a fruit, make sure there are no holes on the outside husk.

* Durians freeze well, either in the rind or just the pulp sections removed from the shell. You can keep durians that have been frozen for months.

* According to Cheah Kim Wai, who has been selling durian for 7 years in Malaysia, durian should be eaten by their grades to maximize enjoyment of the fruit. “You must start by eating the lower grades first, which are much sweeter. The higher the grade, the more bitter the durians are. If you follow this technique you can truly enjoy the taste of the fruit and appreciate the difference between the grades,” says Cheah. Cheah said that if eaten in reverse, the bitter taste of the higher grade durians will overpower the taste of the lower grade ones.

And this is the 'Red Durian'. A rare wild durian from Borneo island forest.

I never see this Red Durian directly. I knew it from web but I thought it was photoshoped, until I found article of Red Durian in "Trubus" botanical magazine, and I am sure it is real.
