One
of the many things Malaysia is known for is the various kinds of food.
Many tourists come from all around the world just to have that taste of
Malaysian food. Durian, the king of
fruits is most sought after but there are many who think that it has a bad
scent. Thus, dare not have a taste of it. The smell has been described
variously as rotten onions, turpentine and raw sewage. Yes, it has a very
strong smell but it is pleasing to some. It has a taste like creamy custard.
The durian is a seasonal fruit, unlike some other non-seasonal tropical fruits
such as the papaya, which are available throughout the year in Peninsular
Malaysia. The season for durians is typically from June to August, which
coincides with the season for mangosteen, another fruit that compliments
durian. Prices of durians are relatively
high as the demand for it is also very high. It varies with the species and
different grades. This very fruit can be eaten by itself when it is ripped or
it can also be used in desserts such as ice creams, cakes, puffs, dodol and cendol.
These are just a few examples out of many. Durian is indeed a pride to
Malaysia.
