Durian! Mao Shan Wang vintage Durian Feast in Singapore 2018
A wonderful Durian (Mao Shan Wang) feast, with durians especially delivered to our doorstep from Malaysia! Check out the many durians we had, in this 2018 durian season, shared by a wonderful group of friends, brothers and sisters. Many thanks to a kind and generous brother for this lovely durian treat on this Good Friday, 2018. Thank God for the wonderful fellowship!
Durians - you either love it or hate it. From Wikipedia:
The durian (/ˈdjʊəriən/) or /ˈdʊriən/[2] is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio. There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit, and over 300 named varieties in Thailand, 102 in Indonesia,[3] and 100 in Malaysia.[4] Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions.
Regarded by many people in Southeast Asia as the king of fruits,[5] the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered rind. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.
Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance, whereas others find the aroma overpowering with an unpleasant odour. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour, which may linger for several days, has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia. By contrast, the nineteenth-century British naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, described its flesh as a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds. The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet desserts in southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.
