the king is back!!


the durian season is back....not sure whether this season is going to be a bountiful one. but hope the rains nowadays do not ruin the harvest. been having durian for 2 days in a row. yeah, call me a durian lover!!!
i tried looking for the goodness of durian...and how disappointed i was. the first site: whfoods.org (called itself the provider of information for the world's healthiest food). looks like durian is a bane for dieters.
but i found something else. haha...really funny...see what a gwailo thinks about our famous fruit here.

here is an excerpt from the review on how bad the pungent smell can be. haha!!
Some quick research on the web revealed the following, less scientific, descriptions of the scent of this most odour-ridden of foods:

* a backed up toilet
* carrion in custard
* rotting fish
* unwashed socks
* a city dump on a hot summers day
* clogged drains in August
* the flesh of some animal in a state of putrefaction
* the diapers of a baby that had diarrhea two weeks ago and was not looked after
