Don’t stand too close to Surabaya Stew, though. That’s an opened durian he’s got there…

Hey AB, good eye there! Yes, the Durian is notorious all over the region for being the most obnoxious and stinky fruit Mother Nature ever devised. Reportedly the only plant matter the carnivorous Tiger will crave, stores and hotels will post “No Durians allowed” signs to prohibit customers from fouling up the premises.

In its raw state, the Durian rages in smell from a decaying bouquet of flowers to putrid rotting meat. Taste wise, its raw form comes somewhere between an onion and a mango. It’s defiantly a matter of personal taste preference, but I’d encourage all Lizards to try it at least once in life!
