Those who have never tasted durian before will not be able to understand why it is termed as "the king of fruits". So, if you're curious, why not take a bite of durian and try to reflect to the phrase above. I know that the smell of durian is what makes most people turned off by it, but if they actually tried it, they'll be forever in love with the creamy taste of durians!
Now, don't think that durians come only in one flavour... They're many types; each with their unique taste, colour and textures. I don't know how many types are there... I haven't tried all! But, I know one thing that they have in common, spines! Hahaha... In Malay, spines are called "duri", that's where durians got its name! Because it is wholly covered in spines or "duri-duri".
If you see these durians laying around, don't be afraid of it! Try it! You might just make durians as your newest favorite fruit!
