Whenever I pass by a fruit stand, the light yellow fruit wrapped with a styrofoam and plastic makes my head turn one more time. DURIAN! The very delicious fruit that many people miss because of it's pungent smell. it's the fruit that will make your fridge of dining room stinky but its taste is incomparable.
Ahhh... durian. have you ever eaten one? would you dare try? please fell free to share your durian experience fresh or in candy form.
happy mylotting and durian eating!

I have never even heard of it. What is it? Is it
like a Mango? Bannana? Orange?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

i see. it's not like mango, banana or orange.
it is called "the king of fruit" in southeast asia. it grows from trees and it's husk oval or round in shape. it's green or brown in colour. its texture is similar to a jackfruit but with formidable thorn-covered husk. it has light yellow flesh. others have darker color depending on the species. some people regard its smell fragrant, others say its smell is offensive. its flesh is so soft and fairly sweet.

Dude,
The durian fruit is one of its kind and is famous in south east and south Asia.. I got to taste this fruit when my cousin brought some with him when he was returning from Sri Lanka! We had to wash and dryclean the bag thrice to get rid of the smell, but the fruit tasted really good.. sweet inside stink outside... That is how a Durian fruit!

yes I eat durian and even though I dislike the smell but it tastes good, and I'm happy holding a sharp skin. I do not like durian when holding my hands sticky and smelly.

I love durian!It's delicious and sweet.But my roommate said it's smelly and the smell full of the house,when I enjoy my durian I must choose the time that she is out of the house.haha.It's said that one durian equal to three hen.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

who says that durian is equivalent to ten hens? do you mean ten stinky hens? hahaha! that's really funny and i've never heard of such joke. LOL
thanks but if your friend might not like the durian smell, how about covering her nose and taste a small piece of it. who knows what durian taste can do?
good luck and thanks.
enjoy your durian time! LOL


bestyli (7)  3 years ago

Aha,Three,not ten.It means that durian have high nutrition.But can't eat much,because it may cause internal heat.Acne may be appearance.^-^I suggested her to taste a small piece,she did.But she still not like the smell.Many of my friends enjoy that.So we often have durian or durian pie in our dinner party.

It's cool to know that there are people who like durian very much. I am not against the taste of it because it's not bad. What i don't like is it's smell. Too strong a smell that the fruit feels like it was cursed. For some, the smell doesn't have anything to do with the taste. Just because the smell is pungent, doesn't mean the taste is horrible. I agree..Sorry for durian lovers but it's not really on top of my list.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

that's fine, underdogy.
we can be bestfriends so i can eat your share of durian each time you'll have. you're gonna be relieved for not being able to smell it. at the same time, i'll be glad to help you by eating it. let me call it then "MOLAR support" from a friend. hahahaha!
have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 95/100. underdogy (390)  3 years ago

A molar support is what i currently need especially with the durian eating thing LOL. I can definitely give you my share of durian, if another friend of ours, happens to have one. I'd be glad to do that hehe. Have a nice day to you my friend. More discussions please and be more active too haha.

I have tasted durian many times and it is indeed yummy. I first didn't like it because of its smell. I used to vomit before every time I smelled it. But one day, I just found myself eating this fruit for no reason. I was even surprised when i tried it and the taste was really great because it came from the freezer. It was like a durian-flavored ice cream. And after that first experience of eating fresh frozen durian, I have come to like it and I eat it every time i want to eat it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

hmmmmmmmmmmm... durian ice cream?that's the most expensive ice cream flavor i know. it's not easy to find either but its so delicious. i can't remember the last time i had one.
i've never kept durian in the freezer because they won't last for more than 3 days with me.
thanks for giving durian a second chance. would you mind if i'd say this? "DURIAN's yummier the second time around." LOL
thanks and happy mylotting!

Hi Cheiyen,

Durian fruits is my favourite but i like with the yellow colour. i like to make Durian Cream Cake which is very-very delicious ..like eating the cheese cake!! Lucky for me that my father in law have an durian orchard so when the durian season comes, we all will be able to eat as musch as we like hahahahaha....BUT eating too much durian makes our body heaty!!

So..drink a lots of water after eating the durians!! :)


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

wow! haven't heard of durian cream cake yet. but because you've mentioned it here, i'll look for the recipe and try to make one myself. i love cheesecake, too.
where do you live so i may drop by your dad-in-law's orchard and say hi? hahaha!
right, too much durian isn't good. thanks for the tip about drinking water, too.
enjoy your durian moments.

Here in my country Durian is abundant. Though I never tasted the fresh fruit but I have eaten so many Durian candies.:-) Yup, the taste is good and mind you, I'm even beginning to like its smell.:-)

Durian will never be Durain without that distinctive pungent smell. I take it as not really pungent. The smell is just too strong for the nose that we tend to dislike it.

However, the taste is awesome.:-)


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

hello a thanks, eurekafemme!
don't miss your chance if it comes to you.
i like durian candy, too but i still prefer the fresh one because it looks so inviting. try and i'll be glad to hear your first fresh durian bite.
good luck!

When I first taste durian, I didn't like the taste , maybe because of its smell. My uncle and aunt always have a durian every meal which i didn't like to eat. But then when I taste again the fruit, the taste is different and it is so good. After that i like durian's taste until now. it is very nutritious too.. .

Hi cheiyen, i've heard about this fruit, but never got to taste it. I heard that the smell is overwhelming for firt timers, is it true? What does it taste like, sweet or sour? Do we eat just like that or have to cook it for sometime?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

hi, zkapfo123!
it's true that durian's smell will kinda discourage you to try its flesh. but believe me, it's like an irony because durian is deliciously sweet. it's not like other fruit that you need to wait to ripen enough. once durian is sold, it's ready to eat. i haven't heard of any food where durian is cooked. maybe durian shortened bread... but i have eaten durian candies, durian ice cream and durian chips.
good luck and enjoy mylotting!

shockedwow. i have never heard of this fruit. but if its so good i would probably eat it. when i was a child my dad used to take me to a bar in this small town. kids were allowed then. and i would always ask for a stinky fishlol they were dried herring in packages behind the bar. they were really salty and good, but no one else in my playmates would touch them. they stank. but i loved them. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 92/100. Cheiyen (236)   ranked 1,446 out of 5,089 in eating  3 years ago

you should give it a try. if dried fish stink, this one doesn't need to dry to stink but you won't regret the taste. your friends will exile you outside, or they might want to get away from durian's strong smell. LOL
thanks for your reply.
