Durian grows only in certain areas around the equator. Mindanawons are proud to grow it and they love to eat it! It is hard and spiky on the outside but it has soft flesh inside. Foreigners tend to avoid Durian because of its really annoying smell! In some places, like Singapur, Durian is forbidden in public vehicles.
Its white pulp tastes sweet and somehow it's not comparable to other fruits. The nickname "king of fruits" refers to its uniqueness.
There is also the saying:
It smells like hell but tastes like heaven!
No wonder you can go to a "Durian Paradise", have a Durian shake, icecream, candy, chocolate and today I also tried the coffee! Yummy :- ) I can't wait for the fruit season to start in august!

Hi Lilli!
You certainly seem to have a very Filipino taste. Do you think it is hereditary?
