The reality of tropical fruit spreading in my mouth like a meteor collision. To be defeated by a fruit, how frustrating. I need training, tears. - Taste Rating

- Durian is widely known as the "king of fruits," and it is particularly cherished in Southeast Asia for its rich, creamy taste despite its potent aroma. Due to its distinctive smell, it is often prohibited in public places and on public transportation. However, many people are drawn to the rich flavor and abundant nutrients that lie beneath its aroma. A tip for eating durian is to first calm your mind and get accustomed to the smell, then gradually eat it in small portions. CentralWorld in Bangkok offers a bustling food court that is perfect for trying durian and enjoying various Thai dishes. Despite this, for those who bravely face its scent and end up defeated by a single fruit, they might find themselves contemplating an escapade to learn how to handle onions, whose smell is arguably more manageable than durian's.
