It is a shame that we (as in me and my family) discovered this way of enjoying durian only in 2005! We enjoy a good durian "harvest" every year from my dad's little dusun and after running out of ideas on how to use up the left over durians (after giving away to relatives ), we normally turned them into serawa, lempok or tempoyak. Never thought of doing a Durian Goreng the way we do Pisang Goreng or Cempedak Goreng. It is so elementary and we missed it, until one of my male cousins in Melaka sent some some Durian Goreng to our house and we couldn't have enough!

Not recommended for those watching their cholestrol levels though! Maybe just one ketul.
