Durian (ทุเรียน) aka King of Fruits
.JPG)
It is a very love it or hate it kind of fruit. For me, loveeee it!
The fruit itself has a thick spiky skin. You need a really sharp knife and gloves just to open it to get the 'fruit' aka edible flesh part inside. The flesh will be a beautiful yellow color. Its actually durian season now so that is why you will find it at fresh markets around Southeast Asia and the only time of the year where I can indulge :)
Why love it?
The flesh should have a cripsy/crunchy skin and inside is soft and sweet. (At least that is my preference)
Why hate it?
Durian has a strong very unique smell. So unique to the point that it is banned from public areas like hotels and airports. In short, some people think it stinks.
