Food Trail - Laksa to Duriain

Geylang Serai Market, Singapore was a scene of colourful, tasty food, spices and flowers!

Joanna and I trying various different fruits from mangoosteen, dragon fruit, jack fruit and Durian - hence the latex gloves!

Durian, it looks harmless enough on the inside - very hard and spiky on the outside

Durian, wrapped up ready to buy
