It smells like somoene shoved an egg full of garlic and let it rot in a pig rectum.

The texture is custardy and it does taste sweet.  It just smells of rotten garlic pig’s ass egg.

my gf’s theory: asian born asians like it, american born asians don’t.  she does, i don’t.  to me, the consistency is similar to that of defrosting chicken.

^i’m asian born (and raised), but i can’t get past the smell enough to eat it.

I’m not a fan of food that smell like ass

the post about it smelling like ass kinda ruined my interest in this fruit. but i’m still interested in a fruit that smells like ass that could be enjoyed by people.

the frozen ones don’t smell so bad.

well, a lot of things don’t smell as bad if frozen. it’s just that is it enjoyable enough to eat if frozen?

the durian sends people to great extremes of love and hate.

the one time i was a fan of durian was when i was watching edison chen’s chiseen videos (chinese jackass) and they were hitting each other with one.

i still won’t eat the frozen ones, so i’m afraid not. :(

I tried durian for the first time last night on top of shaved ice. I didn’t know what flavor the shaved ice would be, but it wasn’t very good. I could get over the smell of durian, but not the texture. I expected it to be firm like uni, but it was soft like a pureed mango. I was expecting durian to be sweet, but it really wasn’t very flavorful at all. Let’s just say I’m disappointed.

Oh yeah, that’s at 100% Healthy Dessert in Millbrae. They have lots of HK desserts with jelly and things called tadpoles (that are also in Indonesian drinks).

^^ that looks like baby poo. I bet it smelled like it too.

i tried it when i was in asia. i can’t get over the texture and the salty taste. fruit are not suppose to be salty!
