Still, they don't tend to be cheap.. at all!

It certainly is not a tourist scam - locals in China pay top dollar for good quality durian imported from Thailand. The reputation that durian has is not fair, most foreigners have a preconceived idea that durian must be bad before they even see one. As far as eating other fruits after the durian, mangosteen is commonly eaten to balance the heat from the durian. It is not about removing the durian taste! Durian is definitely my favourite fruit.

But I didn't really freak out, although the smell was terrible the taste was bearable. I ended up bringing back Durian flavoured candies to some people... must say after that, many of them are terrified to ask for a souvenir when I travel.

In Singapore my friends loved Durian, but were also used to eat a lot of litchi afterwards, maybe to remove the fart taste ^^ ?! I love your video.

He laughed and we asked him "Do you like this?" and he screwed up his face and said "NO!!!!!". We're at an AirBNB right now sharing with a Taiwanese girl and her take on Durian was "I don't eat that garbage" So I suppose not all Asians like it.
