So we don’t see eye-to-eye on the most delicious fruit in the world. Only with the durian are such strong sentiments expressed. It is okay to disagree, of course, as long as no wars are started. Why bother? The opposition would be shown no mercy as the pong brings them to their knees and the thorns spear them in a hundred places.
The pungent, custardy, exquisite golden-hued durian. Available at all major and slip roads. Best eaten with fingers while squatting by the side of the road. No extra charge for fumes inhaled. Licking highly recommended.

Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

If you wish to be brothers, hold your tongue. But then it taste quite good. Then pinch the nose, let go the tongue.

Someone had described to me saying that eating durians is like eating a bowl of luscious, creamy, thick and sweet custard while sitting in the lavatory.
Congrats on the magazine spread.

GASP! When did you take those photos of me?! I feel so violated! (Liu Lian@MSN)
I like Heavenscent. Durian is FBB. Prickly on the outside but soft and sweet on inside! 🙂

King of Fruits with King of Pop… a rather odd but then creative combination 🙂

speaking of durian… I still can’t get myself to eat one of those fruits, even though I have endless supply of durians. somehow i just can’t accept the taste 🙂 so un-patriotic of me… lol!!!
Poor my wife… she sometimes has to forgo durian just because of me. But then… I just took some Musang King to her today!!!

Durian ahhhhh…. I have this obsession of always wanted to introduce any foreigners to our country to try durians. Whenever I got acquainted with anyone who is not from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand, I almost always asked them “Have you tried Durians”

Durians! Missed them so much! Something very very rare in the UK, only seen them once in London Chinatown. Nice photos of the durians, you’re good in photography!

woah, so the motivating and cool words lah. perhaps trying a bit of the yellow flesh while looking at the mirror and listening to MJ’s Man In The Mirror will make it easier for me. hehe.
joke aside, yeah, totally agree with you. make love, bake cakes, sing songs, talk crap but say NO to war. peace, ma sista!

The only fruit to rival durian is jackfruit! Just got back from Hanoi and I’m jonesing hard for those two, some rambutans, and some BUN CHA! I’ve been hungry for these things ever since I got home!
