We have 3 major races here. The Malays, the Chinese and the Indians (from India). So being Malaysians we are all exposed to all kinds of food, including some authentic Portuguese cuisine. Plus a whole lot of fusion foods. Yes, we do have Chinese food. And most Malaysians would swear that our Chinese food are better than even Hong Kong's or mainland China. Why? Because we are spice up our dishes - hot, spicy, sour, sweet, the whole range. Whatever your fancies!

LDS, I wasn't kidding about the durian. The King Of Fruits. There was this story a few weeks ago where the Australian police and Armed Forces were put on high alert, I think in Melbourne or so, because they discovered a very pungent smell emanating from the baggage compartment of the plane. The whole airport was shut down. They sent in biochemical experts to search for the weapon. They got a further shock when they discovered some whitish powdery deposit on one of the bags. Definitely chemical attack, or so they thought.

Turned out that the culprit was a durian that someone, probably Malaysian , tried to smuggle in a durian. And he tried to mask the smell by spraying some air freshener onto the bag. Of course the Durian wins! The smell can be overpowering.

Check out one of the durian sites:

The story also is really funny! I have never heard of this fruit before.

A lot of people gets put off by the smell. It's very pungent. It's actually not that bad .... then again, I'm a durian lover

Most visitors here would puke when they first try it. Some would never dare venture near those fruits anymore. But there are a lot of expatriates here who can consume the fruit as well as any locals.

Thailand also produces durians but theirs is not as exquisite as the Malaysian varieties. The gold variety costs an arm  per fruit. Incidentally, one of the popular local varieties is named D24. Locals instinctively sense that this may be an oblique reference to the fact that what they are paying for is as expensive as gold -- 24 carats.

Don't know how to describe the smell but you wouldn't want to be near your friend who has just had a durian feast, and is about to belch. Other end even worse!

Tourists' info: Durians are banned from all hotel rooms, enclosed public areas, planes, trains, public transport.

Whenever we buy those fruits  to share with the folks back home, the smell lingers in the car for days!

But its the king for .... The Heavenly Taste!
