Ancient time since now. Try the roasted pork.

I recently hiked Mount Ophir (Gunung Ledang) with a few friends, and it was an exhilarating experience. The trail is challenging, especially the section known as the "Killing Fitness Corner" (KFC), which requires scrambling over rocks and using ropes for support. The ascent took us through lush forests and providing plenty of photo opportunities. Reaching the summit was incredibly rewarding, with stunning 360-degree views that made the effort worthwhile. The descent was equally challenging, thus we decided to go down by car instead. Its definitely a feat for concurred the highest peak of Johor state. #malaysiatrip

#familytrips2024 hey folks, it’s durian season now which means it’s time to head to Malaysia to harvest and eat some golden delights. The durian is particularly popular in the area around Tangkak, is known as a major producer of durian in Malaysia. This means there's a good chance of finding fresh, high-quality durian during durian season which is around May to August. It is also slightly more affordable to eat in Malaysia as compared to places like Singapore. Go have some good durian 😋😍#malaysiatrip

#kuala lumpurattractions Venue - Tangkak Orchard, Malacca Transportation - Self-driving tour, tour group, or local one-day tour I’m so happy this time 😁 I went to the Tangkak Orchard in Malacca with a group. Yes, this durian variety is named after it. When the season is right, you can eat durian varieties here, up to 6 kinds🤤You can also eat the Malay word "Jinbra". The fruit is so sweet🤭You can also eat it here🤤🤤🤤Musang King... I have eaten it Later, I realized that the taste of each type of durian is really different. It was a dream to come here🥳🥳🥳Because you can taste the durian in the group and you will continue to taste it after eating. Because it was too hot🥺, I couldn’t stop eating mangosteen. The watermelon clears away the heat and feels very fresh. There are many check-in places📸 where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The fragrance of durian is very pleasant👍👍👍
