Durian
Revered in Southeast Asia as the "king of fruits," durian is relatively unknown in the United States. Famed naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (who, like Darwin, independently discovered the theory of natural selection) described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds." This large fruit can be recognized by its thorn-covered husk and pungent odor, which has been likened to the smell of gym socks or rotten onions. That may not sound appetizing, but for those who enjoy it, it's a thick slice of heaven.

its like eating a creamy rich ice cream in a toilet!
once u try this, you either get hooked on it or you swear never to go near one ever!
best durians come from malaysia. fruits from different trees and varieties have both obvious and subtle differences in taste, texture, smell. like wine its an acquired taste and like wines from diffrent varieties and regions, every fruit has their fans!

In Davao City, Philippines you can have the different variety and diferrent taste of durian. There are group of Doctor in Agriculture who are successfully done the cross-breeding of durian. So, it comes out with different variety.
i lab it!
Here in the Philippines, specifically in Davao.. durian is very well-known.. they even have durian wine there!!!
The best durians in Malaysia come from the south and southwest hilly regions of Penang Island, from places like Balik Pulau, Sungai Pinang and Pantai Acheh, where the fertile hill soil, temperature and rainfall makes it ideal for durian cultivation. While I can't say I am a seasoned connoisseur of durians, I can say I am enjoying myself tasting good durians. Good durians are like fine wine. Those who know durians will tell you - as I would - that every durian from every durian tree tastes.... More
