For those first timers who does not want to smell durian’s distinct smell, you can try Durian Ice cream first…

I never thought I would like durian. 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!

Discovered D24 frozen durian mooncake in SF bay area this year. 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!

Hi Uncle Kian,
Now that I’m pregnant I’ve been craving durian even more! 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)!

I had durian many times when a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sarawak, Malaysia in the early 70s and it was delicious! 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.

plumpdumpling, You know I’ve never really thought about that. 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.

I’ll eat absolutely anything with durian in it. Grew up eating it in HK… have durian ice cream bars in the fridge as we speak. Would give an arm for that puff. Please pass one over?
