Audrey Cooks – yes, with sweet sticky yam, correct? Oh boy, all these traditions are slowing disappearing, sad.

Ana – it’s weird looking. I would never think of it as edible if I didn’t know any better.

PJ – those are very cheap, I bought like 6 or 7 of them from the market and cost me 11 cents (US$)! The inside looks like creamy color.

Lucia – yes, the shells are quite hard, but not as hard as stone! ;)

This one certainly brings back memories. How much does it cost? So it’s just eaten by itself eh… I wonder how the insides look like.

theculinarychase – no they don’t taste like durian at all, they taste like roasted chesnuts (kind of) to me.

Yeah, I just know they are called “Gu Kak” (Bull’s horn in Hokkien). I never know the English name until my friend S told me.
