Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow threw an epic durian feast that left guests absolutely hooked on the spiky fruit sensation. The politician hosted media personalities at Penang Youth Centre Hall on Acheh Street for a massive buffet featuring Balik Pulau's finest varieties. Chow rolled up his sleeves and personally cracked open the thorny treasures while serving creamy flesh to hungry attendees. The chief minister declared his addiction to the irresistible fruit after sampling multiple premium types during the gathering. Black Thorn, Green Skin, Capri and Red Prawn dominated the spread as guests devoured every morsel available.
Red Prawn emerged as Chow's ultimate pick among the stellar lineup of local durian champions. The variety known as Ang Heh among Hokkien speakers delivers sweet and creamy perfection at budget-friendly prices. Chow praised the soft texture that makes Red Prawn accessible to durian newcomers and veterans alike. The chief minister actively participated by wielding special tools to crack open spiky shells for eager guests. Political figures mingled freely while demonstrating their durian-opening skills throughout the memorable event.
Approximately 130 ravenous participants demolished over 300 kilograms of premium durians within sixty minutes of feasting. Village Community Management Council members joined the frenzy alongside seasoned durian experts who carefully examined each fruit. Some guests displayed sommelier-level expertise when selecting durians based on size, shape and thorn patterns. Others simply grabbed whatever freshly opened specimens appeared before them during the feeding frenzy. Political secretary Lau Keng Ee and Batu Kawan director Ewe Chee Way witnessed the spectacular consumption rates firsthand.
