Thanks. Not per what we planned. Milk Lake was elusive and so we made the most out of our trip by enjoying what the nature offers

@@KCfaith everything else was beautiful enough 👍 may I ask you some questions about the area? We’re planning on visiting the Daocheng and Litang area. Wanted to check if they still accept cash there or if most businesses have transited to online payment

Shops cannot turn down cash but problem is they probably don't have the exact change for you. Best to activate QR payment - either WeChat or Alipay. They are accepted almost everywhere. We visited Litang as well, one of the highest township above 4,000 meters

There are only two entrances into the park. Even if you can park at CBN, I believe you'll have to walk a fair bit to either one of the entrances.

Glad it was helpful

😊

Ha ha...

Ha ha.. certainly round ones will hold more pulp because they would have more compartments. We learned that odd shaped durian would have less compartment and some very small compartment is empty. But, odd shaped durians have higher chance of tasting better because all the nutrients are concentrated in the smaller number of pulp.

Thanks for the tip!

So, go for rounded ones but with sharper ends to have higher chance of getting smaller seeds?

Actually, I did the observation based on your experiment.

Oh.. I don't think so la.

@@KCfaith sorry, I don't have the experience..

I think it depends on the husk weight. I realize I made a typo error in the composition percentage of the husk in first durian (a) 1.14kg although the weight captured is correct. The husk weight composition should be 68.4% instead of 64.4%. I suppose the study on these 3 durians is for some rough indication and a bigger sample will be needed to be conclusive in terms of ratios. A comment in this post from someone who has made similar observation suggested the pulp weight ratio to fruit for MK is around 25%. My observation for these 3 fruits was 23% to 24%. Quite close though.

Hmmmm.... knowledge is power. That's how the world works.

Thanks for sharing your statistical findings on the 25% of pulp on fruit weight, and the qualitative aspect of the different fruit size. This is really insightful. Is there a reliable way to choose a musang king with thin and light husk? Reason being, this area can significantly impact the weigh composition of the pulp yield like the third fruit weighing 1.4kg that we observed. The seeds were great, but husk was super heavy.

​@@KCfaith For yield, I heard "light" durian is better and having more compartments is good too (5 star vs 4 or 3 star). Choosing a durian that is light for its size and high number of compartments could yield more flesh than husk so it's better value for money. The underlying reason I believe is because durian flesh is less dense than the husk (I haven't verified this yet but a quick way to measure density is to use the a water displacement test)

@@theanalyticalcook this is true, as lighter durians of the same size tend to have smaller seeds.

Thanks for the visit

Why not compare the flesh weight to cost? That would be more precise instead of comparing the fruit yield. Just my point of view.

Thanks for the suggestion. Those fruits of different sizes were of similar grade at RM66 per kg, so whichever that have better yield per kg would be the winner. That's why we did not take the cost into consideration. But, if they were of different price points per kg, the fresh weight to cost would be relevant. For example, if smaller size durians are sold at lower price and bigger ones at higher price per kg at similar grade, then it will make sense to compare yield in cost. That's why with this observation, we think it is probably more worth while to go for smaller fruits if they are priced at lower price per kg.

@@KCfaith My mistake. I thought they were of different grades.

Selayang dekat je. Pergilah. Drone saya mavic air 2s. Dah usang.

Other than texture quality, we wanted to know the composition of the pulp in a durian variety i.e. which variety has more, hence we weighted and husks and seeds to derive the answer. MK won in this aspect.

@@KCfaith thanks

Thanks for the compliment. It's a nice area to hike.

Thank you. You can do it as well. Just take it slow.

TQ

Most welcome. Hope you enjoy your hike there.

Thanks a lot

Thank you 😊

Thank you. Unloading in the process :)

We went in April, so it was beginning of Spring and still cold, and weather unpredictable. When you go in July, all should be good.

@@KCfaith thanks! Im trying to see if i can take a bus from chengdu to here i will be on my own 😅

Should be fine. I see many people do that and signages are clear.

Hikers park on road sides around the vicinity of the trail head. Walk a bit if you have to. But be wary of certain side of the roads with yellow lines coz the enforcement goes regularly to issue summons.

@@KCfaith thank you for your reply . Always enjoy watching your video 😊

Thank you 🙏

Thanks so much for the kind words. We try to share our experiences as if the viewers are with us.

Depending on the trails you take. There are many. The loop we took is about 5km and took 2 hours in a very relaxing walk.

@@KCfaith thank you!

In the video, we went in from the KL tower entrance and straight into the canopy walk, but exited through other exit.

@@KCfaith thank you for reply . We went this morning and enjoyed the walk . Thanks for your information .

Most welcome. It's a nice piece of nature within the concrete jungle. We enjoyed our walk as well.

Thanks. They are breathtaking indeed.

month?

April

Thanks for visiting

Airplane fly at a higher altitude, akin to zooming in from Google Maps 😅

It's a wonderful place, so much of space and we felt truly liberated whilst there. Enjoy your coming trip. Cheers.

Where did the cable car lead to?

Just up and down the hill.@@KCfaith

Sure sure, and then we go cari makan after that.

Thank you. Perfectly fine to fly a mini drone. Just be aware not to fly it too close to other people.

You are right. We left La Spezia and dropped by Porto Venere, on our way to Tuscany.

It feels the same like those "glass walk" at other tower, like KL Tower.

Have fun!

谢谢😊

I like Tekka (D160) too. But, seldom see them in stalls.
