My friend brought Durian from Pontevedra, Negros Occidental.. yes its very similar to that of Davao.. Its smells not nice but i really tasted it and i find it taste so good! I also tried to freeze it and ate it afterwards, its even better.. tastes like ice cream. hehehe.. once you have tasted it and find it delicious, you will not mind the stinky smell anymore. Try it.:-)

Oh yeah..I remember my dad, he used to put the durian in the freezer and eat it as if it is an ice cream. It's really yummy. What I like in durian is how the davaonueƱos make the candy.

i love this fruit. this is my second favorite fruit. my very favorite is Rambutan =) in our farm, we do have few trees of durian and its durian season. the last i went home, i was surprised to see lots of durian. durian is desired to eat by-hand. some people says it stinks especially those who live outside davao.

Durians are very popular over here in Singapore too. I simply love the smell and taste of durians. It's pretty addictive and once I start eating, it's so difficult to stop. However,I have to restrain myself as eating too much of it will give me a sore throat.

Stinky and high cholesterol. But must remember after you ate durian you must put water into the fruit's vessel and drink. And to know the best durian, first indication is it's contained yellow fruits. The best thing after you ate durian, you will be having bad breath for long hours. And make your farting better.

I know Durian is very smelly and also very popular in Singapore. It is also forbidden to take a durian in the subway because of the terrible smell.

I do not hate durian, I have never tasted. My mother likes to eat durian, I do not understand why the foul smell of the fruit so she could eat so much fun, I am curious to taste what it is, but I do not have the courage to try. The first time you eat when feeling how taste like?

I can't really describe the taste. But when you put durian in a freezer, it tastes good just like an ice cream. Durians are not really that foul smelling. Some people just don't stand the smell of it especially the first timers. It's a good fruit.
