    Doesn’t durian smell like shit but taste great? Or is that just propaganda to fool tourists into trying it? (I haven’t had the pleasure…)

      It does smell a little funny but the taste and texture makes up for it. Especially as part of this desert (durian pulut) that comes with sticky rice and a kind of syrup.

      Tastes amazingly complex. Can be overwhelming, but if you like things like wine, whiskey, cheese, and chutneys, you’ll love it.

      It tastes like some kind cheesy fruity onion chutney. Sweet and rich.
