👑🇹🇭 DURIAN in Thailand — Love at First Bite… or Instant Regret? 😂
Durian is Thailand’s most famous fruit for a reason.
It’s called the King of Fruits 👑 and trying it in Thailand is almost a travel rite of passage.
Some travelers fall in love immediately 😍
Others take one bite and question all their life choices 🤣
Why is durian so famous?
Because it smells… very strong 😅
Let’s be honest: the smell can be shocking the first time.
But here’s the funny part: good durian tastes much softer and sweeter than it smells.
Don’t judge the king by his perfume 👑✨
💛 What does durian taste like?
Many people describe it as:
🍌 Banana
🍮 Vanilla custard
🧈 Buttercream
🥜 Nutty, rich, creamy goodness
Some people also notice a tiny savory onion/garlic note… weird but surprisingly interesting 😂
Texture?
Soft, creamy, and custard-like. Almost like eating sweet fruit pudding.
