DONALD'S DURIAN

SEE YOU AT DONALD’S DURIAN STALL IN PETALING JAYA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t listen to malicious allegations, remarks and rumours or complaints that do not hold water – that is, not true.

YOU certainly need genuine witnesses to proof your say that Donald is a “cheat”, otherwise, it will rebound and reflect back at you, for having made such a malicious allegations, remarks, rumours or false complaints.

Of course, the public, in this case the Durian lovers will then think that you have a personal agenda and motive behind what you are doing.

Whoever you are, you should go over to Donald’s Durian Stall in SS2/24 Petaling Jaya, to check it out for yourself and, then, come back to say your piece without fear or favour, and to apologise to this man, Donald, for having made a false report.

For your information, Donald has come a long way, has a long history in the business – so if he is a “cheat” he won’t be still selling Durians ‘til today.

It’s common knowledge and understanding that competition in business is healthy and is, in fact, the name of the game, especially with others selling and doing the same business in the same street, in this case, in SS2/24, Petaling Jaya.

There are 3 Durian stalls selling the King of Fruits adjacent to each other on the same street. So, it’s natural to see some dissatisfactions and disagreements between the parties.

What you know, some quarters had taken the wrong-turn by playing dirty tactics to frame the competitor, to the extent of writing poison articles to a Blog, simply to instil fears to the public, in this case, to Durian lovers.

Don’t listen to all these wild rumours and nonsense or be taken for a ride, of sort.

Exactly, as his (Donald’s) new or old customers, you are in a better position to be a judge yourself to know what’s true or false, that will clear the allegation.

O.kay! We dispute what this quarter had said about Donald.

It’s indeed outrageous and an unfair statement because there is no truth.

As you know, in all kinds of businesses, there are bound to be some customers making claims and complaints, which is normal.

Over to you, the person who had called Donald a “cheat”, what you know about “Mao Sun Wong” or “Raja Kunyit”? And, who actually started the “Eat All You Can” Concept or Idea for Durians?


It’s non-other than this man, Donald, himself. So, sit back and take a reflection on this and think about what you said about him, being a “Cheat”.

We, namely Messrs Alan Zechariah, Patrick Teoh, Jeff You and yours truly (Lau Bing) together with Norina Yahya, including the late Kenny Lim had been eating Durians in Donald’s Durian Stall in SS15 Subang Jaya in the 1995 and thereafter in Petaling Jaya.

This is about 15 years ago and, that was, how we became friends.

If he was a “Cheat” we will know.

By the way, we noticed that he seriously sees to it there is good customer relations, trust and ethics between him and his customers, like for instance, he will replace a fruit without any question asked, so long it is unripe or has a funny taste, etc. etc.

No matter how good a Durian salesman you are there is always a slip because nobody can really sees through a Durian from the outside (skin).

It’s therefore not his character to condemn or make an unpleasant remark or comment about his competitors, except to find New Ways to sell his fruits. So, why should anyone bothers him when he doesn’t bother anybody.

Remember, it was him (Donald) who started selling Durians to customers for “All You Can Eat” Concept. He has photos and documents to proof it.

Donald will never play tricks or dirty tactics on his competitors.

There you go! We have no hesitation to recommend you (all Durian lovers) to go on have your Durians at Donald’s Durian Stall in SS2/24, Petaling Jaya. You will enjoy having the fruits in his place and if you are lucky you can catch him at the right time when he will share his jokes with you.

Well, here’s the History part:

Do you know Donald had done many Durian charities for homes of handicapped and underprivileged children and for old folks homes?

That means he may be the Only Durian sales man in town, who shares his profits with unfortunate people and those who are in dire need of funds.

We remember together with Jeff Yow and the late Kenny Lim and yours truly (Lau Bing), we got to know this kind, generous and compassionate man, Donald, when Stephen Ng, a stringer with the Malay Mail, was doing a write up of the 3 musketeers of the then RTM Radio 4 for the paper.

All 4 of us met at Donald’s Durian Stall in SS15 Subang Jaya for a photo shoot.

During the photo shoot, we asked him (Donald) whether he was interested to do a Durian Charity for underprivileged and abandon children. He abruptly answered, “Yes! Why not!”

And, within weeks we got a Durian Charity going and raised over RM10, 000 for two Charitable Organisations.

He was so happy with the results and told us that he had decided to donate Lock-Stock and Barrel, the whole collection to Rumah Charis and Rumah Hope of which each of them got over RM5,000

Thereafter, he held a string of charities for the underprivileged and handicapped people in town and also for those who are in dire need of funds.

The bottomline is this man needs your continued support, trust and understanding and remember your support goes a long way helping the poor, in a way, when you buy your Durians at Donalds’s Duriang Stall in SS2/24 Petaling Jaya.

Cheers! See you all at Donald’s

LOOK FOR 'DONALD'S'

Restoran Gafan

Hubby came and brought me out for lunch today. We went to Sec 17, food court (next to the market) for lunch. One of the stalls there which is manned by an Indonesian lady sells good mixed rice. They have my favourite – sambal potato. The potatos are thinly sliced and then fried. Then she cooks it with sambal. It’s one of her best seller, I think, ‘cause everytime I go there, that dish is either sold out or she has very little left or she has a pot under her table which she says is reserved. Anyway, we didn’t have a chance to eat it today as she was closed. So, hubby drove to Paramount instead. Not sure of what to eat, we ended up eating at a place which we always say we must try – It’s new!

‘Restoran Gafan’

The menu says they have 10 different kinds of claypot chicken rice. You can see from the menu they have vegetable and also steam soup. Anyway, we ordered the ‘sausage chicken rice’ for 2 pax and a lotus root with peanut soup. I must say, service was slow. Waited ½ hr for my chicken rice and there was not even a crowd. There was only another table which ordered before us. Finally, the food came and I was ready to tuck in as the smell was ‘heavenly’. The rice was a bit dry for my liking. Claypot chicken rice as I remember always has this ‘sweetish taste and a bit wet’ but this was lacking in it. Sausage chicken rice for two, 1 lotus root and peanut soup and two cold Chinese tea – RM19.00.

Durian Cake

As mentioned, hubby supplies durian pulps to some of the major bakeries and cake house around town. Yesterday, one of his client who takes durian pulp from him gave him a durian cake. This guy makes homemade cakes and this is his Durian Cake – yummmyyyyyyyy.

Surprise

I had a very pleasant surprise last night. I was at hubby’s durian stall and was collecting money from two ladies after they had their durians. One of them then asked me whether I was the one that writes a blog under the name ‘piggy01’. I was really really surprised and touched and also feeling a bit shy *blush* as I never imagined anyone would want to read my blog, as it was lack of updates and not as interesting as others who update their blogs often. However, I am really really touched by the two lovely ladies who read my blog and mentioned it to me. Thanks dears!

Hmmm, now I know that I do have people coming by to read my blog, I should update it more often. Maybe I can be as ‘famous’ as some well known blogggers. harharhar

Hokkien Mee at Paramount Garden

Last night after leaving hubby's durian stall, we went looking for food to eat. Wanted to have the Chee cheong fun in SS2 but it was not opened. So we settled for Hokkien Mee. Went to Paramount Garden for the 'famous hokkien mee'. I have tried the noodles there before and it was quite yummy.

Wanted to order the Hokkien Mee but they were sold out. Kuey Teow was also sold out. If you are wondering, we were at the stall around 12.30am. We settled for Hokkien Mee Hoon and Cantonese Yee Mee. Food came, hubby and I dug in immediately. Oh.... I was dissapointed. The mee hoon was oily and salty. I was complaining to hubby the whole time. We did not even finish the noodles. Paid and left.

As we went in to the car, we saw a foreigner cooking the noodles. No wonder, my food tasted ...........

Sushi Zamai, Sunway Pyramid

Went to Sunway Pyramid with my kids on Sunday. I wanted to buy a DS Lite for my daughter who will be celebrating her birthday this week.

Before scouting for the DS Lite I brought them to Sushi Zanmai for lunch. Had to ask the Information counter where Sushi Zanmai was located. hehehe

We sat in front of the belt nd I could see the 'master's' in action

These are some of the food we ordered





We also had chawanmushi & miso soup.

Had this for dessert. yummmmy

Durian

One night a family from Sarawak came to hubby's stall for durians. They brought along with them two containers which they put on the table. Being the curious person I was, I was staring at the containers. The son saw me looking at it and said that it was toasted sago and toasted coconut. They used it to dip their durians and then eat. The son then opened te container and asked me to try the sago. I tried it and I must say that it is very fragrant. However, I did not try dipping the durian in it. But I can see the family enjoying it so much. Must try it next time if I have the chance.


Toasted Sago and Coconut

Teapot Cafe, SS2/24
