Sim Koa Yen is not just a durian orchard farm located somewhere near Durian Tunggal. It is a durian orchard that uses minimal pesticides, only organic fertilizers and was awarded SALM (Farm Accreditation Scheme of Malaysia). Those are not the important facts, the important thing is that they serve durian buffet for only RM35 per adult, RM18 per child below age 12 and F.O.C for child below age 5.
Unlike D’ Paradise that served low quality durians or none at all (Read Jesslyn’s first hand experience of D’ Paradise by clicking here.), Sim Koa Yen up a notch by serving high grade durians such as “Red Prawn”, D24, “Jiabili”, “Cibei”, “Raja Kunyit” and etc.
They had such good reputations that Singaporeans would organize tours to pay the farm a visit. He even had customers from Taiwan too!

Finding the “entrance” was easy, but from the main road to the orchard, the 2.5km route took us almost 30 minutes, passing by rubber plantations, dragon fruit plantations, vast fields, lakes and chicken farm.




Finally, we saw some really big durians, waiting for the “ripe” time to drop. At the “station”, piles of durians were gathered at one corner, which were to be served later at a private function. Come to think of it, it could probably be my first visit to a durian orchard. Heh!



Instead of using chopping knife to open the durians, the owner has created a specially crafted “device” to pry those durians by just pressing down the handle. Seriously, opening a durian is as easy as ABC and probably takes less than 30 seconds to fully open it.


Since it was a buffet, we were served with a huge varieties of durians. From the dry to wet type, sweet to bitterish type, branded species to kampung species, you name it, they serve it. Considering that I didn’t manage to eat a single pulp of durian last year, I whacked as many as I could. My favourite got to be “Raja Kunyit”, sweet and creamy. My mum would probably prefer “Horlor”, wet and slightly bitter kind though.



Seriously, I never eat so much durians at one go in my life. I was there from 12.30pm until 3pm, all I ever did throughout my time there was, eat, eat, and eat. In fact, by the time I left the orchard, I already felt the heat inside me and my throat was acting funny.




Some artistic shot. :D



If you are a durian lover, like me, you should give it a try. One needs to make appointment before paying visit as they need to collect the durians before that.

过 去24年来,政府以飞行医疗措施为偏远内陆居民提供最简便的医疗服务。全马目前就只有沙、砂两州仍有飞行医疗服务,而这个由联邦卫生部掌管的飞行医疗服务 分两种:一是飞行医生服务(Flying Doctor Service, FDS),另一是医疗遣送服务(Medical Evacuation Service, MEDEVAC)。前者原则上由医生和护士每个月前往固定村落一次,为原住民看诊;后者则在发生紧急状况时,以直升机将重病或发生意外的村民从内陆村落送 到市内医院。
在泰益玛目治下,难产孕妇、备受病痛折磨或年迈衰老的的70万名内陆原住民犹如生活在这片土地上的二等人种;他们承受的痛苦向来少人关注,也不会有什么具体措施解决他们的问题。

十 三、2008年10月31日,阿都拉萨巴金德(左图)被撤销控状,正如纳吉所说的“暂时”控状。主控官阿都玛吉表示:“我们会考虑上诉,这场战尚未打完。 ”但是,14天后,控方以承审法官审核过所有证据才决定撤销阿都拉萨为由,确定不上诉。向资深刑事案件执业律师打探之后,发现近年来从来没有发生过总检察 署不上诉法官撤销被告控状的事。这里所指的案件为诺里达三苏丁(Norita Shamsuddin)的命案。
