Ended up with 10 items.
It's petai season, so have to grab one bunch. It's also tarap season. They cut your throats at Lido - RM7 for one tarap. In Donggongon, it's just RM1.50 for the same size. How to resist?
It's typical of me ...always buying more than I should...always pile the barangs into the car, dash to work treadmill, can never find the time to take them out until...
two days later.
-------- four monkeys in my car ------------------------
" It smells," my kiddie passengers wrinkled their noses.
" Yeah, it's tarap"
That's the end of issue for them. They were not complaining. Just asking monkey questions for the sake of asking.
I, the big monkey though, wish I could put an orang putih in my car at this moment.
I mean, the type of orang putih totally alien from Mars, in my car, windows all up.
Bwah HA HA HA HA

Ahem!!!
It dawns upon me, a Sabahan has a penchant for:
1. Taraps. What pervasive ordour? We can live with it.
2. Tuhaus. It's a kind of wild ginger. A cross section reveals however, the likeness of a lemon grass minus the blade. I love it pickled, with fried fish. The ordour is as impressive as our dear Tarap.
3. Bambangan. Da bomb. It's the Mammy Apple or abricot in Martinique. It's a kind of mango almost the size of a bowling ball.
People who love durians may not like taraps, tuhaus and bambangan - especially bambangan. Once, I craved it raw. I bought the biggest bambangan I can find and brought it home.
The whole household turned against me instantly.
"What the heck is that?"
"It smells like hell!!! "
" Take it out!"
" I can't stand it!"
(Teary eyes)
You love my friend from Kampung Bambangan, but you don't love the fruit itself.
---------------My heart still bleeds at the tragedy --------------
What stinky food? These babies are legitimate VEGAN fresh from the jungle.
