Durian Encounters

We both love anything durian flavor in the States and had been enjoying the fresh durian smells wafting through some of Singapore's streets. Obviously not everyone shares this preference as Singapore cabbies won't even let passengers with durian get into their cab.

But we had both been excitedly anticipating eating durian with Yee Jerng. And it didn't disappoint! The texture took some getting used to and we think we may need to eat it another couple times in order to truly appreciate it (like whisky). But we are already looking forward to our next durian encounter.

Yee Jerng got us one of the more bitter durians to try. Bold move for virgin durian eaters!!

Is this stinky enough for you?

Excitement

To counter the heat of the durian, we ate mangosteens afterwards to get the cooling effect.

Bethany took many, many photos of mangosteen cause she loved the look and the taste.

Since Yee Ma has learned to walk in Singapore now, we walked over in the heat to Sun Yat Sen park. This time we used the museum to cool down.

Yee Ma says forget durian, give me beer!

That was durian milk??! Oooooooooo....
