Durian - King of All Fruits

My friend's pastor gave me and my friend a durian treat at this famous durian store when I was in Indonesia. My friend told me they sell the best durian fruit in Jakarta but it's quite expensive. The durian we ate cost 89,000 Rp (around $10), just one fruit with only 10 seeds. But of course, the taste is amazingly delicious! The best durian I've ever had in my whole life. It's sweet and soft and not too smelly. I don't like the bitter durian so much though I can still eat it.

Many people cannot eat this fruit especially those coming from countries who doesn't have the durian fruit. The smell alone will drive people as far away from the fruit as possible. To durian lovers, it is sweet perfume. Strong smell means the fruit is ripe. After you eat durian, you can put water inside the durians skin and drink the water or use it to wash your hands. The durian smell will instantly disappear from your mouth and hands. It's magic. :D
