When I was a kid, durian is something that I hate because of its odor. I prefer eating durian candies back then. But hey, durian is one delicious fruit! I never thought I would like durian.

Mon thong just doesn't cut it, compared to D24. Malaysia has many other kinds, words can't describe the many sensations durian triggers! Just watch out for the burps!

I'll have to try making your durian puffs altho the pastry looks a little challenging. BTW, if I'm not wrong, there was a time when Thai mornthong durians with their small seeds and rich creamy flesh were quite sought after in S'pore. This was before D24 and King of the Montain (or whatever some of the new varieties are called)! Hi Uncle Kian,

Many a night I spent in an Iban longhouse sharing durian with the villagers. I've only found it a couple of times since returning to the U.S., always frozen, and my wife thinks I'm nuts.

I suppose it is easier to "acquire" the taste if one is exposed to it all life long. Although I do know native Singaporeans, who never did like durian. plumpdumpling, You know I’ve never really thought about that.

I'm so interested in durian after having seen Andrew Zimmern unable to eat it multiple times now. I just wonder if anyone actually likes the stuff from the get-go or if it's entirely an acquired taste. What a great post!
