The Art Of Eating Durian

Why is eating durian an Art? Well, like a piece of Art, you will either appreciate it or hate it! It is an exquisite taste, those who love it would really enjoy it and those who hate it will not even give it a second look.

Here is how my family members choose and eat their durian:

Step 1: Pick up a durian and make sure it has a strong aroma.
















Step 2: Cannot just buy 1, must buy at least 12 so the whole family could enjoy!
















Step 3: There is no rule on how to open up your durian, you may use a spoon....























Step 4: You may also use a chopper......
















Step 5: You could even pry it open with your brute force and bare hands!























Step 6: As long as you could get to the delicious durian inside the thorny husk, no one really cares how you open up your durian























Step 7: Now comes the moment of truth! Pick a durian with your thumb and index finger...























Step 8: ......and stick it inside your mouth!























Step 9: You have strike jackpot when your durian is yellowish and a little bitter!























Step 10: Being a family, it is courteous to keep aside some for the members who are not in at the moment. Cleanliness is also very important, we must use a spoon instead of fingers to scoop up the durian for storing away!
















Step 11: Make sure only air-tight Tupperware is used for storing the durian. This is to prevent the aroma from escaping. You could now keep the durian in the refrigeration for rest of the family members!
















Finally, it is a good practise to ensure that all the delicious durian fruits were emptied from the husk in order not to waste fruits!
