Then 2-3 weeks ago, on the way from UBC to home - i drop by at a Vietnamese market in Abbotsford. As i walked in, i saw....fresh durian!!! Then i saw rambutan.
I was looking for eggplant at the vegie section, passed by this green bag- didnt really look at it 1st. then i pass by again, out of curiousity, i grab a bag of it and look at it carefully.
To my amazement, it was "sayur manis"!!!! i was like - wah! where this come from? So i asked the seller, and she said it came directly from Vietnam! Hahaha what a blessed day for me!
Another amusement, i saw bunch of sugar cane/tebu! Sell for $2 each - yeah, i was thinking how this stuff is really free in my mum's house hahaha didn't think much about it so i bought a durian for $22, sugar cane $2, a bag of sayur manis $2.99, rambutan & few other stuff. Spent about $44 in this market.
Mind me; buying Asian groceries in Western countries like Canada is really expensive. I feel like i'm buying luxury stuff - well, it is an imported stuff for Westerner over this side of the world anyway! Just cant wait to go home, balik kampung, makan kangkung hehehe
Once i got home in Chilliwack, i finished eating the durian 1st by myself - nothing left except the kulit & biji only, then i ate rice with sayur manis & chili sardine! Haiya...no wonder gained soo much weight all of sudden hahaha

moi, boleh makan durian ka kalau preggy? hehhee.
banyak kau makan nie. some of the food that you eat, worry me.
call your mum ya. my personal opinion, there are some foods cannot be taken during pregnancy.
take care of your food intake.
hi Wen, thanks for being concerned :D my sis & sis-in-law ate durian too when they were prego & all babies were healthy. remember, just eat in moderation! i dont take alcohol, cafein & not smoking - so by God's blessing my baby should be fine :)
here are some infos i got from internet:
1. Durian is high in protein, so is quite nutritious for preggies, just that it is also high in sugar contents so better eat in moderation in case of gestational diabetes
2. they say give strong babies during 1st & 2nd trimester. Except for last trimester. Try to avoid durians last trimester cos too heaty and baby skin may turn out rough.
3. Eating too much durians would cause baby to be overweight
4. durian can boost up baby weight
it's just fyi, dear.
Hi Wen, just to be clear - i knew about this durian 'effects' years before i got prego hehehe
anyway, i'll leave your info here for others to read too, just in case someone will do research too ;)
