Its DURIAN time - Putting Zimmerman to shame


Hi All, its that DURIAN time @ Prestariang again. Its our 8th Annual Durian Feast for partners and clients. You can only have this when DURIAN is in season. This time around there 2200 kilos of the 'King of Fruits", 200 more than last year.
Indicating our Durian Feast has become a tradition in its own right and hugely popular among partners and clients!


This time around we have people of numerous nationalities at out feast, namely Korea, Singapore, Australia and Egypt to name a few, and of course our local Malaysians. All at a different level of 'engagement' with the King of Fruits.

To some 'durian virgins', an experience to smell it, some its the first time to hold in their hands the hard prickly thorns of durian, for some its time to sample the different varieties but the rest its time to savour the great taste and gobble it down.

Malaysians have this to say to our foreign partners, "if you have not tasted it you can't be successful doing business in Malaysia but If you liked it you are accepted and one of us."

As a King (of Fruits) they'll always be a few who dislikes as compared the popular majority. Durian has put Andrew Zimmerman of Bizarre Foods to shame. He can take on 'rats' and 'Icelandic rotten sharks meat" but NOT Durian, ha ha, not bizarre enough!

As usual we have top best 18 varieties of Durian such as the expensive "Musang King" to "XO", to D24, to Udang Merah among others. Durian in Malaysia and the region has these binding effects and promote friendship.
We at Prestariang tried to get friends to a get-together through dinner, high tea, kenduri & tahlil without much success, but Durian Feast never fails to attract a huge crowd.

With a combination of Durian, fresh coconut water, lychee, mata kuching and dokong we have trails of people coming in - from CEOs, Chairmans, Board Members, VCs, Government officers, MNC Partners, Vendors, Suppliers and friends from 3.30pm till 7.30pm.

Everyone enjoying the casual air of friendly get together and catching up with friends and buddies. Thats Durian the great equaliser! Look at them..

Thanks Doc, looking forward for another great feast next year.
