This thorny fruit is known in Asia as the King of Fruit. It comes with such strong fragrance, some foreigners found it to be a big turn off.
The flesh is soft and creamy , with a small seed inside each piece of the durians. Since we import these fruits, it's available all year long. You'll smell this fruit from a distance away before you could even see the stalls selling them. You could either bring back the whole fruit or ask the seller to repack them into a Styrofoam boxes.For more links to participants of ABC Wednesday, do visit http://abcwednesdayround3.blogspot.com/

OMG, i love durians, a taste that's out of this world.
Hi Jama, I bought some durians today for my family, yummy.
Looks like a new-baked loaf of bread!
Weird, I'd never heard of these until about a month ago and, now, I see them again!
Thanks for stopping by my post. What an interesting fruit. I have never heard of them. Thanks for that "I learn something new every day moment!"
I've heard of Durian and its terrible smell. I would like to try one some time.
I have never heard of this fruit! I shall see if the Asian market in the city has some...I love ABC Wednesday....I always learn so much.
Thanks so much.

Did you see my durian? It's grown in Hawaii and the spikes are smaller, but it's the same fruit.
Great photos!
Never heard of it before. Looks like a brain in a pod. lol
I first thought it was a kind of Kakis but I think I have never seen such a fruit !
The durian here look more better than that we have here,i guess this is costly in Singapore:)
Have a nice day.
wow, looks like there are still a lot of people out there have not seen or heard of Durians! good job Jama, durians love you for promoting them . Hehe...
*wink..
I doubt if I'll ever actually meet a Durian, but I'm fascinated by the different reactions. I grew up in South Wales, and we had a delicacy made from a type of seaweed that turned balmost black when cooked. We served it with bacon and other fried meats, and I loved it. Foreigners hated the look, the smell and the texture :)
On behalf of the Team, thanks for posting this week.
Guess I'll have try one someday, though the negative notices make me nervous.
I'd love to try this - it looks rather like a mango/papaya and yummy, as well!
