Would love to hear what you have to say about it. Durian ice kacang? I think I'll pass because the only form I like about durians is the actual fruit itself not when it's made into something else, including durian ice-cream, durian candy, durian cakes, durian pudding, durian cookies, etc. However, there is one durian desert at Mandarin Oriental's that can rival the actual fruit. That would be THE alternative when durians are off-season though they need prior booking. :( <br /><br />Btw, have you tried the food at Island Red Cafe? I believe it has been changed to Pg (Penang) Red Cafe. I hear their coffee is superb (esp their ice-blended) and their toast is comparable or even better than Pappa Rich's.

Knock on wood, durians have no such effect on me so I don't have to drink that brine. <br /><br />There is a belief that due to its heatiness, durians are never to be taken with liquor. <br /><br />Tekkaus, gosh! me too. In fact, I have a stock of it in the fridge. I still go for D24 type as it's sweet and drier than the others. I'll be sad to see the season ending.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-29876532478201776862009-10-19T18:11:11.146+08:002009-10-19T18:11:11.146+08:00Mei Teng, that's what I heard though I'd m...Mei Teng, that's what I heard though I'd much prefer to have the smell totally removed leaving the place odorless.

The other type is the one they dry out in the sun which are normally used in soups.<br /><br />This type is the one that has been processed and ready to eat. I'm sure there are some undisclosed chemicals involved too.<br /><br />Foong, LOL! Fresh durian aroma is nice but not when it's a day old from the husk or the seed.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-62206790347785565472009-10-19T16:24:14.062+08:002009-10-19T16:24:14.062+08:00I love durians.
