Durians, affectionately dubbed ‘the King of fruits‘ in Southeast Asia, is #myfavoritemistake . With its powerful aroma & distinctive taste, some will not go near it but it‘s delicious, though I‘ll regret after feasting on it because of the overwhelming smell that pervade the air. On another note, the book is a mix of memoir & essay that ‘evokes the beauty & seduction of the tropical rainforest‘ of the author‘s childhood in Malaya. #lilithjuly
julesG Stink fruit! I like it, especially when someone else prepared it and the aroma does not pervade my home. 😜 5y
Megabooks I‘ve always wanted to try durian. I had a Malaysian roommate in college, and she had a postcard of fruits she couldn‘t get in America next to her computer. 5y
