Durio Zibethinus: an oval and spiny tropical fruit, native to Malaysia.

Andrew Zimmerman, the host of Bizarre Foods, could literally eat anything! I watch his shows with admiration because there are numerous of food I could not be able to try – usually meat or these little critters. Yet, I set an objective to taste a durian because it is native to Malaysia, and secretly, I wanted to outdo Zimmerman by being able to eat durians and I did! Truth be told, I was worried about my OWN reaction once I am given the chance to taste a durian because I did not want to offend anyone with a bleeeecccchhhh-like expression and it was nothing like that. The stench was not that foul like described elsewhere, and it was creamy and somewhat sweet.

Be sure to try it.
