However for us, the Hojicha Berries was simply the way it ought to style – gentle hojicha with a not-too-sweet berries smoothie. One other glorious beverage at 2 Acres Cafe.

As you may see from the colors, it was an glorious musang king direct from the plantation. In truth, the uncle opened the primary one and thought that it was not ok and positioned it apart earlier than opening the second and final durian for us. Seems it was a wonderful musang king durian. The outer layer is a brilliant yellow and when touched, turns wrinkly – a signature of musang king. The flesh itself was wealthy and creamy with a slight bitterness on style. There was additionally an distinctive perfume that we don’t normally style with musang king in Singapore. The seeds had been actually small which meant that there was a number of wealthy, creamy flesh which we loved whereas overlooking the pond inside the premise of two Acres Cafe Penang.
