Durian

October 28, 2009

  

Durian is the fruit that I always associate with Davao. When I am in Davao, this wonderful gift from God is always present as my favorite dessert and sometimes in between meals. October is fruit season and this wonderful fruit can be found everywhere in the city as well as to other places in Mindanao.   For this durian experience, I tasted the Arancillo variety. It has a sight bitter taste aside from the sweetness it has.  Some people doesn’t like it because of the smell. It has a strong smell that either attracts or repels people. For me, I am attracted to it.  

  

 

Durian has its spell to those who taste it. For the first timer, I suggest you try the Puyat or Chanee variety. It is much sweeter less the bitterness. It has a distinct taste that you attract you. Just like when I first tasted it, I swore that I will not eat again. However, sworn statements are meant to be broken. Hehehe.  I cannot resist it taste and up to now, I an a loyal durian fan.  No wonder, it is called the King of all Fruits.
