King of Fruit

Hi ada8may21, when seeing this topic I couldn't help reading the content of it. Yeah, durian is the tropical fruit which I love most. It's so familiar to me for I have been taking this lovely fruit since my childhood. At the moment it's not the durian season yet. before replying I try to mylot search this fruit online. Wow, there are lots of pictures about the attractive appearance as well as the delicious flesh of them. When growing senior I'm rather picky when picking durian. I prefer quality fruits with creamy flesh like D24, Red Prawn, etc. Of course the price are relative expensive as well. I like eating natural freshly durian and feel reluctant to take any food which are processed from durian like ice cream, candy, cake, .... Happy posting

Hi ada8may21, I love durian. It is my favorite fruit. It is the most famous fruit in South East Asia region. I think Thailand durian is the best in quality because they have their research and development department concentrate on fruits R&D. That's why they become the most famous fruits exporter in this region. At my place, they made a porridge from durian and "tempoyak", a traditional food especially in Perak. It want be eaten with rice. In my hometown, durian is the most expensive fruits you can have. One kilogram of durian is about RM7.00 (USD1 = RM 3.50), and you can get the price because it is durian season. They usually sold it much higher if it is off season. They usually bought it from peninsular Malaysia or Thailand.

i can't recall how the fruit tastes. I recall eating it when i was small, but that was a very long time ago. I think i was just a toddler then. A lot find the smell of this fruit disgusting but it's not to me. What i consider disgusting about it is the price. This fruit is sooo expensive that i can already buy a lot of other fruits for the price of a small durian. So i'd rather settle for candies, not only it's sweet it smells good too.

Hello this is not avaiable in india, but when i was in Davao i have tasted it, honestly speaking i did not like the strong smell. But the milk shake with this fruit was really wonderful, i miss it.. Thanks for sharing. Sorry for late response.. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

Personally, i loooovve to taste DURIAN! When this fruit come to season, many will be displayed along streets and in groceries ( where this fruit are lovingly wrapped in transparent plastic- to keep the store odor-free). Because it sells high, i back out. all i did was touch it and smell it. I have tasted the durian candy from Davao and i find it delicious. I hope in my next year's vacation in the islands, it will be Durian Season - now that i can afford to get me one, i will not let it pass! and i'll PM you ada8may21, on how it tasted - like it or like it not.

hi. i love my durians as they are. straight from the husk.

It is also one of my favorite fruits too. I live in Canada and so far I have only eaten durians that were frozen which are delicious. But I long to eat a fresh durian, one that wasn't frozen. Maybe one day! For those that have eaten both, is there a difference in taste?

i do not like durian. durian smell made me dizzy and nauseous.

durian, i am not familiar with this fruit. i have seen it for the first time even hear the name too. my favorite fruit is pineapple. perhaps u are familiar to it. thanks.

Hi, I love to eat durian,but it is my favourite fruit. Durian is not available for the whole year,only certain period ,then it will have the DURIAN SEASON. I always wait till everywhere is flooded with durians,then i will buy some home.or else, it will be very expensive. I love to eat those sweet and bitter taste durian and not too soft type. The best is to make durian cheesecake. My husband make it once and tillnow, I still miss the taste. I love it while it is chilled. It is also yummy to eat chilled durian with rice. I got to know about this from my mother and after I tried once, I definitely love it. IN order not to get heaty after eat durian,use the durian shell and make some salt water with it,drink it up and sure no sore throat for the next day. And to get rid off the durian taste in your hand,use the shell to wash clean your hand. I tried both methods and they are MAGIC. I heard from my friend that it is best to eat durian and mangosteen together, then you won't get heaty.Not sure how true it is as I never try it before.

It stinks! I really can't stand the smell of durian in my breath after I've eaten it. But I do love durian patillas (candy), it doesn't the offensive smell but tastes as good.

I think durian is good but have a foul odor. I think mango and apple is the best fruits to take. It easy to find & very delicious.

I love Durian too. I love Tiani kind of Durian. I tried Durian in Thailand but I love Durian from Davao the most. (As in Yummy). Yes, I love Durian shake too. Every Durians' month we stay at Magsaysay park Davao)and enjoy eating Durian.

Durian is also my family's favorite fruit except me. I can't bear its strong smell although it looks delicious. However I think it's OK if I try a durian candy rather than the fresh durian. I love jackfruit. It looks similar durian but it has an good taste. In my country Vietnam,jackfruit is good to eat but many people prefer Thailand jackfruit. Have you ever eaten them?

I'm sorry but I really am not fond of durian. I hate the smell and the taste as well. I'd rather have apples and bananas. They're my two most frequently eaten fruits. And it's easy to find them, almost everywhere they can be found and they're readily eaten. Well, people differ in taste and preference, so, if durian is really your fave fruit, then so be it :) HAppy mylotting!
