So we don’t see eye-to-eye on the most delicious fruit in the world.   Only with the durian are such strong sentiments expressed.   It is okay to disagree, of course, as long as no wars are started.  Why bother?   The opposition would be shown no mercy as the pong brings them to their knees and the thorns spear them in a hundred places.

The pungent, custardy, exquisite golden-hued durian.  Available at all major and slip roads.   Best eaten with fingers while squatting by the side of the road.   No extra charge for fumes inhaled.  Licking highly recommended.

  1. Someone had described to me saying that eating durians is like eating a bowl of luscious, creamy, thick and sweet custard while sitting in the lavatory.

    Congrats on the magazine spread.

  2. GASP! When did you take those photos of me?! I feel so violated! (Liu Lian@MSN)

    I like Heavenscent. Durian is FBB. Prickly on the outside but soft and sweet on inside! 🙂

  3. Omg, i am so gonna squat by a roadside stall and swallow every durian they’ve got on their lorries! And soon! Oh wait, maybe squating for so long too tall order, must bring own stool. Or sit on newspaper. :p Why do u hv to tempt me like this???

  4. King of Fruits with King of Pop… a rather odd but then creative combination 🙂
    you’ve gotta teach me photographing technique the next time we meet (hopefully it will be soon)… but then you are on DSLR while I use normal Canon Ixus camera 🙁

  5. Paps: Liu Lian, Liu Lian, wor ai ni!

    ai wei: You don’t like? ^_^

    ALilFatMonkey: Well, he IS King of the Durian Cheesecake! 😀

    Cumidanciki: That’s why, we’ll always have our durians. 🙂

    KY: Thank you thank you!

    thenomadgourmand: I certainly hope not! I love the beautiful vibrant colour of the durian…no paling of skin for me, tq!

    Alexandra: Hehe…yeah, you’re right!

    Barbie: Awww. Are you allowed to eat durians now?

    thule aka leo: Of corz I can teach ya. Aiyoh, even point n shoot can take great pics, u know. Don’t need a DSLR. Some of my best pics were taken with a mobilephone and a P&S. 🙂

  6. speaking of durian… I still can’t get myself to eat one of those fruits, even though I have endless supply of durians. somehow i just can’t accept the taste 🙂 so un-patriotic of me… lol!!!
    Poor my wife… she sometimes has to forgo durian just because of me. But then… I just took some Musang King to her today!!!

  7. Hehe… supposedly can, in moderation. but first hv to get past some ‘red tapes’! So when u gonna send some to me? 😉

  8. Durian ahhhhh…. I have this obsession of always wanted to introduce any foreigners to our country to try durians. Whenever I got acquainted with anyone who is not from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand, I almost always asked them “Have you tried Durians”

  9. Durians! Missed them so much! Something very very rare in the UK, only seen them once in London Chinatown. Nice photos of the durians, you’re good in photography!

  10. woah, so the motivating and cool words lah. perhaps trying a bit of the yellow flesh while looking at the mirror and listening to MJ’s Man In The Mirror will make it easier for me. hehe.

    joke aside, yeah, totally agree with you. make love, bake cakes, sing songs, talk crap but say NO to war. peace, ma sista!

  11. The only fruit to rival durian is jackfruit! Just got back from Hanoi and I’m jonesing hard for those two, some rambutans, and some BUN CHA! I’ve been hungry for these things ever since I got home!
