Gotong Jaya - Famous Durian (Ah Wong's Durian King Specialist)

My uncle from New Zealand came down that day to visit Malaysia. When we asked him what he was craving for, he said "Durian". Immediately my dad remember a place in Gotong Jaya (near the foothill before Genting Highlands). The place was actually known to us through my cousin sister boyfriend whom his grandparents operate the store.

We embark on our journey early in the morning around 8am to pick up my uncle and drove to our destination. Whilst driving my dad was frantically trying to call my cousin sister for the exact location (did not do proper planning as it was impromptu). He tried calling several times but no answer, we decided to go ahead anyway. Once we reach Gotong Jaya we were circling around the shops to look for a stall called "Ah Wong's Durian King Specialist", we search and search and finally found it nested in between some restaurant and shops.

The store has been operated for over 20+ yrs and the owner knows how to speak our dialect "Hakka". We introduce ourselves and how we get to know about this place. His specialty is the Musang King durian. A durian with a very deep yellow color flesh and a very pungent aroma. The seed of the fruit is small but the flesh is thick.

It has been a while since i have tried such a nice durian. And i must say its really GOOD!!. Nothing you can find in KL. Though is not the season of durians yet, hence the price is much steeper about RM 40 per kg. We ate 5 and pack 2 for my siblings total bill was a whopping RM 400+ (dad says it's worth it).

Before we depart the uncle invite us back to visit him next month and he will bring us to his durian orchard and eat for FREE!! and help pluck the fallen durians too. He promise a fun filled and happy outing as it will be the ripe season.

Well, will definitely look forward to that :)

Limited to only 300pax whereas the registration fee is only RM30 each rider to encourage the cycling movement and create awareness for the beneficiary bodies. Photos of the jersey:

In a dilemma over the HUBS

Been looking around for some upgrades to my bike, since im doing alot of off-road ride lately over the weekend. To take the punishing of off-road the wheels and hubs have to be able to take the impact.

My friends recommended me a cheap and effective hub its called the Hope Pro 2 Evo.



The hubs from what i heard assist in better pedaling power transfer, much like a differential in a car. But there are numerous brands out in the market some range from RM 400 -RM 1800 for those top of the line Chris King's Hubs.

One thing about the hubs is that they make a clicking sound when its crank on the wheel. By far the Chris King's Hubs sounds the best. But what to do? Its so darn freaking expensive for a set of 2 :(

Here is a video of the hubs sounds comparison:

Dilemma, Dilemma, Dilemma.......

New activity : MTB

Earlier this year i picked up a new recreation activity : Mountain Biking

Its a very interesting activity and it makes you ride and be free, see nature surroundings and go to places that i have never been before.

There are alot of things to learn from bike skills, bike setup, riding positions, etc. Much like what i used to do in RC Racing :P

And just like RC Racing bikes are very tune-able and there are lots of 3rd party options parts for you to improve your bike ride and handling and also to add the "bling" factor. Its not a cheap sport to get into if you are serious into competition. But for me its for the enjoyment of the ride.

Some parts can really help you to enjoy your ride better, things such as a good set of tyres, comfy saddle if you do long rides etc.

Been very active cycling lately because of wanting to get back in shape after putting on alot of weight :(. So far its been good. Have shed some weight till date :) Feel good too!!
