The Start of Stinky Spikes
Mau sang wang
Pinch it… Poke it… Give it a sniff…
I wonder whether anyone has the same cravings as I do. Durians are notoriously addictive, but it all starts with the first experience and whether you have the right nose and tastebuds to handle the overwhelming flavors that overrun the senses.
My colleague and I had a craving the other day and I was searching the web to find out an alternative durian stall to try in KL. But my search was very tedious and many sites and food blogs were often too brief or just provided local directions.
This blog is dedicated to all the durian fans out there and enhance the appreciation for these unique fruits of South East Asia.

Taste of Stinky Spikes
I was taught to eat durian by my father at the age of 4. Peeping into the kitchen late one evening, I saw my parents crouched on the floor over a makseshift carpet of newspapers, energetically ripping the husks of a stinky green fruit apart. I was more amazed with the enthusiasm of my parents towards their activity than the fruit itself. My father happened to look up and saw me watching quietly from the kitchen door, he beckoned me to come over to have a look.
Casting a glance at my mother to check that it was alright to be out of bed at that hour, I decided that the coast was fairly clear and proceeded over. At that point, my dad had just opened a husk and grabbed a small piece. He made out as if he was demonstrating how he was going to eat it, but instead shoved it into my mouth. I didn’t know what to expect and so decided to give this alien item a chance.
Those chances still keep coming.
