Who Love Durian?

I love to eat durian but my daughter don't like it. She don't have an awnser why but i guess because of the smell. Now you can see every where sell durians especially at pasar malam. It's Durian Season and we can get it at very cheap price 3 for Rm10. But do we know how to choose the good durians if we really want to buy it?

Don't worry cctually there are a few tips on how to choose durians. I still remember one column in The Star Sunday Metro stated 8 ways to choose the right durians.

1. Make sure the fruits are unopened before taking a close whiff . The good ones usually emanate an extremely strong, pungent scent.
2. Shake the fruit gently. If you hear the sound of something soft thudding against something soft that sounds like “gloog, gloog gloog”, chances are, the durians are ripe.
3. Sweep your nails against the surface of the durian skin and listen for a hollow sound.
4. Durians do not necessarily have to be heavy to be tasty. The smaller, lighter ones could be equally as good as those with thick pulp .
5. If the vendor makes the effort to prise the durians open for you, select the ones that have a wrinkled layer of skin on the pulp
6 . To prise open a durian, look for its opening point that resembles a pathway or a visible line amongst the durian’s thorns that will begin from the bottom of the fruit. The line is usually visible when you see two rows of thorns growing towards one another.
7 . Make a small incision in the centremost point at the bottom of the fruit with a knife. Twisting the knife around will help you find that opening point.
8. To get rid of the pungent durian scent in your car or house, simply place charcoal or slices of bread at selected locations. Within a day or two, the smell should be gone.
