Bbuurrpp!! What's that pungent smell?

Ever been on a plane/car or enclosed room where somebody who had eaten durian suddenly belched/burped? Errgghh! Not even the most expensive perfume sprayed into the air couldwipe away the pungent smell of a by product of digested/indigested durian. Come across a question somewhere which goes like this: What fruit is shaped like hedgehog & smells like compost? Apuuu!!!How could people say such thing about the KING of fruits? I have not known any of the famous food tasters of Travel & Living Channel who likes durian. That guy who boasted he could eat all the bizzare foods in the world including the sago worms 'vomitted' when the 'creamy custard like' flesh of the durian entered his tongue.
Just imagine..if the orang putih like durian,then there would be durian ice cream on sale at Marks & Spark's, durian cheesecake sold at Sainsbury's ,durian fresh cream fillings on the all time favourite chocolate eclairs at Bentall's in Kingston Upon Thames or at that small bakery/cake shop at Surbiton.The aroma from the durian filling the air as one walks leisurely,window shopping along Oxford Street...durian flavoured chocs sold at Harrod's and durian flavoured kopi at Waterloo train station. Ya,just imagine!


The reason behind this posting is,about 2 days ago, Joe (Joe who? Uchak Jusip lah..ya,) sent a text: "I just saw durians on sale in London."
Wonder how the orang putih sell the durians in London?" Probably wearing mask covering the nose. The price,no doubt, would probably be prohibitively expensive.
My reply was:"They( the durians) must be expensive. If you want to offend your friends,just eat durian,then belch/burp in front of them and see their reactions. Excuse me..Bbbuurrpp!"
See how far your friends 'flee' after the emission of the durian gas. ha..ha..

Not that many durians in Miri..saw a van or two hawkering outside RHB near Boulevard Commercial Centre.













Ever tried durian jam? Nyamai...
