As a child, Kenny Wan Mun Hoe, manager of the Newleaf Plantation, delighted in the flavour of the custard-yellow durian - one of Malaysia's most popular seasonal fruit his parents brought home each season for the family.To get more news about durian taste, you can visit shine news official website.

"I loved it," the 39-year-old Malaysian recalls, his face lighting up at the memory of how they would mix the unctuous flesh with white rice. "The durian was always sweet and kids love sweet stuff."

Now with people in China discovering a taste for the fruit, known for its thorny shell and overpowering smell, Wan has his own durian farm and ambitions not only to export to mainland China, but to become one of Malaysia's top growers. But as the appetite for durians grows there, more trees will be felled to make way for plantations, damaging the environment further.

"We have seen tremendous growth in the industry and we have also seen the farm price of fruit increase over time," the former banker and financier told Al Jazeera on a visit to the 20-hectare farm he bought four years ago near Raub, a rural town about two hour's drive northeast of Kuala Lumpur that is renowned for durian.During its two main seasons, between June and July and again in December, stalls appear along roadsides in cities and towns across the country, attracting crowds of devotees.

On a recent Friday evening, in a Kuala Lumpur suburb, a group of colleagues was feasting on durians under a cavernous white tent where the spiky fruit was piled on trestle tables. Other stallholders peddled durian-flavoured ice cream, cream puffs and Japanese desserts.Sammy Cheang, 41, gingerly picked up the specimens on display, breathing in the aroma before choosing a Musang King, the most popular and pricey variety.

"The stronger the smell, the better the taste," she explained, scooping up a segment of the creamy flesh from the fruit on the table in front of her.Actually, eating durians reminds us of family," added her colleague Pei Qi Loh, 26, explaining Malaysians' connection with what is known in Southeast Asia as the King of Fruits. "At home my father would go out and buy durian and bring it home for us to eat together; eat together and stink together."

The four friends, who have put on gloves to eat the fruit, collapse in laughter. On a neighbouring table, an elderly man sucks the last bits of the durian from his fingers, as the empty shells pile up.

Durian trees are native to Southeast Asia and popular throughout the region, even if their powerful smell means they are banned in many hotels and offices and on public transport.In Malaysia, each variety's unique flavour reflects the soil and climatic conditions of the place where they are grown. Tasting notes for a durian can read much like those for wine.

Musang King, with its golden pulp and creamy texture, was first discovered near the northeastern town of Gua Musang in the 1980s, is said to offer a perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

Lindsay Gasik, who has written guides to eating durian and leads tours for eager tourists, describes the flesh as similar to cookie dough. Others say its consistency is more like soft cheese. Its popularity means it commands a higher price than other varieties.

"Almost all Southeast Asian countries produce durians," said Tan Kok Wai, Malaysia's special envoy to China. "But it is also recognised that the best durians come from Malaysia; the best tasting and the ones with the best flavour."

Jakarta Wajah berkaitan erat dengan berbagai masalah, seperti jerawat, minyak berlebih, kulit wajah bersisik, bekas jerawat, wajah kusam, dan lainnya. Salah satu masalah wajah yang seringkali dialami oleh banyak orang adalah komedo. Ya, komedo terkadang membuat orang menjadi geregetan. Meski kelihatan sepele, komedo bisa membuat orang menjadi kehilangan percaya diri. Apalagi jika komedonya tampak berupa titik-titik hitam di wajah terutama bagian hidung, bikin rasa percaya diri seakan hilang.cara ber make up natural

Komedo sendiri merupakan sebuah benjolan (papula) kecil yang ada pada permukaan kulit. Perlu kamu tahu bahwa komedo juga termasuk dalam jenis jerawat namun yang ringan. Tidak hanya di wajah, komedo juga bisa terjadi di leher, dada, bahu, punggung, dan lengan. Komedo sendiri terjadi karena sel kulit mati dan minyak yang terkumpul pada ujung luar folikel rambut. Komedo nampak hitam karena kulit di atas komedo terbuka dan terpapar udara.
Selain faktor munculnya komedo, komedo juga terbagi menjadi 2 macam, yaitu komedo hitam dan komedo putih.

Komedo hitam:

Komedo ini bersifat terbuka yang ditandai dengan membesarnya folikel rambut yang ditutup oleh sekumpulan kotoran kulit dan sebum. Komedo hitam ini biasanya terlihat seperti pori-pori yang membesar dan menghitam

Komedo putih:

Dibandingkan dengan komedo hitam, komedo putih tidak nampak, namun dapat ditemukan dengan menekan pori-pori wajah.

Biasanya, komedo hitamlah yang paling mengganggu penampilan karena sangat terlihat. Beberapa orang pun berusaha menghilangkan komedo. Cara menghilangkan komedo hitam juga telah menjamur seperti yang kita ketahui. Ada yang dengan menggunakan alat dengan cara memencet komedo hingga keluar, ada pula yang menggunakan vacuum cleaner khusus komedo, ada yang menggaruk-garuk sendiri menggunakan kuku jari tangan, ada yang menggunakan plester khusus komedo yang disebut pore pack.

Cara menghilangkan komedo hitam memang beragam. Ada yang harus mengeluarkan banyak uang, ada juga yang murah. Namun semahal apapun perawatan yang dilakukan agar komedo hilang, nantinya komedo akan kembali juga. Daripada harus terus mengeluarkan banyak uang dan belum tahu bagaimana hasilnya nanti, coba deh cara menghilangkan komedo hitam secara alami.

Kulit wajah yang bersih dan sehat tidak didapatkan begitu saja. Perlu melakukan perawatan wajah agar kulit tetap sehat. Tidak hanya pada siang hari, perawatan kulit pada malam hari sangat penting dilakukan terutama menjelang tidur.cara ampuh menghilangkan jerawat
Perawatan kulit wajah yang dilakukan pada malam hari, memiliki banyak manfaat. Salah satunya meremajakan serta meregenerasi kulit wajah. Apabila rajin melakukan perawatan sebelum tidur, kulit akan menjadi lebih sehat, bersih, lembut, dan terhindar dari garis-garis penuaan.Berikut ini adalah perawatan wajah yang bisa dilakukan sebelum tidur agar kulit wajah bersih dan sehat, dilansir dari beberapa sumber.
1. Mencuci Muka
Sebelum tidur, pastikan untuk selalu mencuci wajah dengan menggunakan cleanser yang mengandung salicylic acid. Kandungan tersebut dapat membuat kulit wajah terhindar dari jerawat dan flek hitam yang membandel. Lakukanlah setiap hari sebelum tidur untuk mendapatkan hasil yang diinginkan. Selalu hindari tidur dalam keadaan wajah kotor.
2. Gunakan toner
Gunakan toner yang sesuai dengan jenis kulitmu. Pilih toner yang memiliki efek menyegarkan kulit, meremajakan, serta membuat kulit lebih halus dan lembut. Anda juga dapat membuat toner sendiri di rumah dengan menggunakan air mawar atau air seduhan teh hijau yang sudah didinginkan.
3. Gunakan milk cleanser
Sebelum mencuci wajah, hapus semua residu make-up, kotoran, dan minyak yang menempel dengan menggunakan susu pembersih atau milk cleanser. Milk cleanser dapat membuat pori-pori kulit dapat bernapas dengan baik, melembapkan, serta membuat kulit lebih segar dan halus.
4. Rajin melakukan eksfoliasi
Tak perlu menunggu kulit terasa kering dan kasar untuk melakukan eksfoliasi. Dokter kulit menyarankan perlu mengeksfoliasi kulit 1-2 kali seminggu. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengikis sel kulit mati yang menempel pada wajah, sehingga kulit menjadi segar dan lembut kembali.
5. Rutin pakai masker
Penggunaan masker tidak dianjurkan setiap hari, cukup sekali dalam seminggu. Perlu diingat bahwa penggunaan masker tidak boleh dibarengi dengan penggunaan krim malam karena masker memiliki fungsi yang berbeda. Dianjurkan menggunakan masker alami, misalnya masker kunyit untuk kulit berjerawat, masker oatmeal, atau masker baking soda. Diamkan pada wajah beberapa saat kemudian bilas hingga bersih. Meskipun cara kerjanya lebih lambat tetapi sangat minim efek samping.
6. Gunakan pelembab
Tahap terakhir untuk perawatan kulit di malam hari adalah dengan memulaskan pelembap. Gunakan pelembap yang cocok dengan jenis kulit. Selain itu, pilih pelembap yang mengandung bahan-bahan alami sehingga dapat memberikan manfaat positif dan tanpa risiko.

Regardless of the type of eyelash extension supplies you buy, make sure you buy it from a reputable source. This is particularly true of your glue.

Using glue that isn’t fresh can affect many different aspects of performance, particularly retention.wholesale eyelash

While Amazon and the seller may be reputable, there is no guarantee that the Amazon seller will check to ensure that their inventory is fresh, especially if it is being fulfilled directly by Amazon (FBA).
