DURIAN ADVENTURE: The American who just loves durian

American-born Lindsay Gasik has a deep passion for durian.
Since 2012, she has travelled across South East Asia conducting tours for other travellers who want to try different types of the “King of Fruits”.
The StarTV met Lindsay at her recent meet and greet for her latest book “The Durian Tourist’s Guide To Penang”.

    biar la omputih makan durian. lepas tu banyak negara akan mula tanam durian pulak sampai durian malaysia tak lagi laku. lepas tu baru harga akan murah balik. situasi sama macam masa malaysia jadi pengeluar utama sawit-getah-koko dulu.. bila indonesia dah ambik alih.. melahu la sekarang. sementara harga durian mahal, cina pakat tanam durian.. melayu merungut nak makan mahal. peluang yang dilepaskan. semua pakat cekik darah termasuk tuan kebun jual mahal. indonesia PATI/IC merah kaut untung jadi orang tengah. orang bandar? dapat harga yahudi.

    Not even comparable as a matter of fact. To get a clear picture, take a papaya or a watermelon, freeze it and after it went completely frozen, thaw it and then try eating it. Or try doing that to any other frucking friggin fruit. That's what happen to durian when you froze it and thawed it and serve it to unsuspecting first-timers. It's madness. It's idiocy. It's a great injustice to the king of fruit. It should be illegal.

    Durians have five or six taste.. if it is not mistaken. So do not eat durians that have lost the original durian taste. Get the right durians but it is preferable to get fresh durians. Fresh durians are better than frozen durians. However, frozen durians are still good as long the frozen durians still have the taste of the durians If not, you eat the bad durians or fermented durians. You will love durians when you get the right durians as the durians as to be known ' The King Of Fruits. ' and also the most expensive fruits in the world.

    Because they made it as industry. They planted and grow thousand of monthong tree durian, cut the fruit while it dint even ripe yet, and mass market it. Malaysia durian mostly are premium and very rare breed. But nowadays Malaysian people already mass planting their premium breed of durian tree too, they wanna make it as another big industry like palm oil does. But yet, its very hard to fill it, because the demand from China kept increasing.. and they only want musang king not any other durian.. so its hard to fill their needs if 1.3 billion of china people started to crave for durian
