British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace describes it as "a rich custard lightly flavoured with almonds". The truth is the king of fruits is unchallenged when it comes to taste. I have many friends from abroad and each time they visit Malaysia, we end up savouring the durian by the roadside stalls. As varieties differ , the Thai , Indonesian and Malaysian durian have its own uniqueness. The various stages of ripeness is also matter of preference.
When one stays at the hotel, there is always a friendly reminder not to smuggle the durian into the premise. Likewise for most public amenities like this Singapore MRT signage. The lingering smell may be too overwhelming for some ! Next time you see some evening crowd by the roadside or waterfront, go get a durian.
