On our way too Sabah last month, we stopped by one of the petrol station in Limbang, Sarawak. While waiting for the petrol tank to filled up, I went inside the convenient store to buy some bottled drinks and snacks. And I noticed the small handy packets of durian flavoured ball like snacks on the rack !! Gosh, I haven't have this for ages. I think the last time I have the snack was during my primary school time. Surprisingly, it is still sold at the same price, 20 cents per packet. Reminiscing the past and the junk food that we used to consume during our childhood days, I can't resist but to buy few packets :)

Durian Ball Snacks
On our way too Sabah last month, we stopped by one of the petrol station in Limbang, Sarawak. While waiting for the petrol tank to filled up, I went inside the convenient store to buy some bottled drinks and snacks. And I noticed the small handy packets of durian flavoured ball like snacks on the rack !! Gosh, I haven't have this for ages. I think the last time I have the snack was during my primary school time. Surprisingly, it is still sold at the same price, 20 cents per packet. Reminiscing the past and the junk food that we used to consume during our childhood days, I can't resist but to buy few packets :)
the durian taste like real durian kind of durian or fake durian kind of durian or soso duriab kind of durian?
ReplyDeleteyea, I remember these. tasted just a tad like durian but then hor, just doesn't quite cut it. now that I think back on the taste, it's kinda ewwww... LOL!! how did I ever indulge in those in the first place?! I'd much prefer the original fruit any time!

ReplyDeletemmmm... it's sort of in between the fake durian and soso kind of durian.. hahhaa...
may,
last time hoh, during our childhood time, we didn't have much selection. So we sapu almost every bit of junk food, and everything tasted so heavenly, including the kandos kiddies choc. The exception is ding dang & Tora choc balls. That one is yucky :P But that was during my bro's time. My time no ding dang nor tora yet :)
cynthia,
Hehhehe.. during those days, i dunno the existence of popcorn :P
Nope... not popcorn.
This one is just like the other keropok.
Remember Chickadees? :P

U remember the Mimi snacks?
With a cat (looks like the ciplak Garfield but it's not Garfield) playing guitar in front of the orange-coloured packet sold at 10 cents per packet. That one was once my favourite too. It is still available in the market :)

ReplyDeletedurian durian..i love to eat durians but when it comes into a form of kuih or keropoks..

shouting "they just ain't the same!"
hmmmm i wan real durian.
ReplyDeletechen chen chen, u eat all??? how many packets u buy??? 'x'
I had this before. It is nice. But I don't know where to get it.
ReplyDeletegoober,
ReplyDeleteThe original durian is still the best.
I tried the vacuum freezed crispy dried durian during my visit to Hatyai but it just doesn't taste as great as the "real" one. Of course if the real one is not available, then the substitute can do also lah..
red sponge,
i want real durian too..
but none cos now is not durian season..
redsponge redsponge redsponge,

ReplyDeletePerhaps 70's!! Did you zoom properly? Did you see Sell By January 1977?
ReplyDeletehahaha. i think i do that more often with you. perhaps its because i think you got big brain, so even if i sound ultra confusing, you will surely git it. :D
ReplyDeleteAiyoooo....i wan the sotong flavour
ReplyDeletevelverse,
ReplyDeletepreviously there is no uncle selling snacks in my place (staying in small town). I bought those snacks from the grocery shops nearby my house (within walking distance) :)

The ball not only can be eaten but can be played with, can be bitten, can be licked, can be swallowed, can be kicked and can be dumped inside rubbish bin too !!! LOL
Multipurpose ball :P
