First of all, the “Durian Fever” which I
mentioned here is not referring to having fever after eating durian. Please
don’t get me wrong or confused with the words.
Durian is one of the tasty fruits and it earned
the name of the “King of Fruits” for its tastiness. For those who likes durian
would probably say that the taste of durian is heavenly good.
Asian countries are famous with durians and I’m
not pretty sure whether it is the place of birth of durians as well. The reason
being is due to the nature tropical climates in Asia and with the moist of the
climates, it suits perfectly for the growth of the durian.
Not surprisingly with the price of the durian
sell in certain outlets or markets with a pricy value. The reason being is
because it is a seasonal fruits and also due to the short duration of tasty
ripeness of the fruit.
For those who dislike durians would probably say
that the stench scent of the durian is terrible, while for durian lovers like
me would rather say it smells heavenly good.
The durian flesh is taken out from the husk and
kept in a container to be carry home, instead of carrying the original durian
with the thorny husk along. The reason being is because it is strictly
prohibited in the MRT. Therefore, we have no choice to package it in a
container to be carried home. A joke on the rules implementation of the durian
restriction on the public transport is that the thorny durian husk could hurt
people around you. Perhaps, it could be misused as a weapon to hurt others.
Therefore, you could probably see the sign board with the drawing of the durian
restriction at most of the public areas due to the danger of the heavy and
thorny shell.
I personally prefer the durian to be taken in
the original form, where it is consumed in a freshly open from its shell. The
feeling of consuming in such natural and cultural way is absolutely great and
unique. Furthermore, filling up the quarter portion of the durian shell with
salt water and drinking a few gulp of it could help to cool the internal heat
in the body. Durian generate internal heat and with excessive consumption, it
makes our body to be heaty. Therefore, drink more water after taking durian,
else you might fall sick easily.

Basically, there are two different unique taste
of durian, which is either sweet or bitter type. The sweet durian is a bit
similar taste like the crème brulee. Whereas, for the bitter type, it will be
the more bitter the taste, the better it is.
If you would like to try the taste of durian,
yet you worry that you might not be able to stand with the smell, I would
rather suggests you to start your first bite of durian from a durian ice cream.
You would probably got addicted to the durian fruit just like me one day.
