The "King of Fruits"

No Durian allowed.

Wikipedia says: "The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia."




We haven't had any Durian yet, but we've smelled the 'sweet' aroma while walking through the markets.
