I’ve never really liked durian not only because of its smell, but also because of the taste. It’s strong that even after I’ve only eaten or tasted a small amount, the taste lingers. Here in the Philippines, durian is abundant in Davao. This is the fruit featured during Kadayawan Festival.

I’ve tasted the actual durian fruit because I have no choice. I was asked by my friend’s mom to taste it. I told her it’s yummy even if it isn’t! I like the durian pie, durian ice cream and durian candy better than the actual fruit.

My other friends liked it though and say it’s yummy but I just can’t relate to them. Maybe it’s just an acquired taste, huh? How about you? Do you like durian?
