mmm.. durians!

Posted by Ah Peng

Tonight is my first time trying durian!! Mama came home with this ugly, prickly green monster and when she showed it to me I quickly hid behind my wheel because that monster stinks as well.

Mama said this is a durian and told me that I would be allowed to try a small piece later. I told her that I refuse to eat that monster but she didn't hear (unlike hamsters, I am beginning to think that humans have a very poor sense of hearing!). After awhile Mama opened my door and put her finger in. I smelt something sweet and immediately went to look for her. After sniffing to make sure that Mama did not bring in any of that green monster to scare me again, I nibbled abit of the new treat.

It is creamy and delicious! So I immediately grabbed the whole piece from the finger and ate it up on the spot. Mama said that this is how the inside of the durian looks like. I am very surprised that such an ugly monster could taste so nice inside. I learnt that I should not judge things from the outside anymore.

As I happily eat, Mama told me that durians are good for me because they contain healthy stuffs like Protein, Fats, Calcium, Iron, Minerals and it is also a wonderful source of Vitamin! I know they had to be good for me because I always hear Mama saying that hamsters need to have lots of Viatmin and Protein to grow up strong and healthy! (and of course, cute like me too!)

Don't tell Mama, but I secretly hid some of that durian in my cheekpouch so that I can enjoy them again later.. I think I like durians!
