Trivia: 

Durian ” King of Fruits ” ( Durio zibethinus Murr. ) is a disticntive Asian seasonal fruit. It’s tree reaches a height up to 30 meters with a red-brown bark that peels of regularly. It has oval shaped leaves that arrange alternately and a flowers with whitish and greenish white color. The durian fruit is green to brownish in color and shaped like an egg with sharp thorns, capable of drawing blood. It’s flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong and can penetrate even if the husk in intact. You can stand the taste of the durian fruit, but the smell. It smells like hell but taste like heaven. 

For people who wonders what it taste like, a British Naturalist Aflred Russel Wallace quoted a description of the flavour of the durian:

“ The five cells are silky-white within, and are filled with a mass of firm, cream-coloured pulp, containing about three seeds each. This pulp is the edible part, and its consistence and flavour are indescribable. A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience. … as producing a food of the most exquisite flavour it is unsurpassed.”
