Sempoi Tempoyak Kunyit - shared by Tini

aaahhh...the King of Fruit season is here again. Missing it very much from where I am at. Tempoyak @ fermented Durian flesh is a much loved & a must have for many people in Malaysia during the durian's season. This is one of the traditional ways of preparing the tempoyak. This is a recipe shred by my friend Kartini that she got from her friend (thank you Puan Thaudhah, semoga murah rezeki)
