[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Durian is so smelly, it is banned in many parts of South East Asia. It smells like rotten cheese, but it tastes delicious. Sort of like a custard apple. I've tried durian icecream, & it was very good. Taken at a downtown fruit market in KL.

Very interesting shot Chris, it looks like rows of hedgehogs. What a fruit. Flash shots are tough, and this one turned out pretty good given the conditions you were probably under. Did you do any pp work on this one ?

Certainly looks like hedgehogs. Smells bad and tastes good!! Interesting ;)
I like the slant here! Nice one...

we also have that here in the Philippines, Chris. they're usually grown in Davao which is located in the southern part of the Philippines. It's an aphrodisiac too. it keeps you hot when you eat this fruit - i mean literally hot coz your face and skin will warm up more than its usual temperature. very sharp and i like the diagonal lines.

yummy :) one of my fav fruit :P
some of the best durian come from Thailand, they hav lots of meat and small tiny seeds.

nice shot of the "king of fruits" as its known in these parts :)

Smells that bad and people even make ice cream out of it!!! Wow! that is amazing indeed. I don't think I could eat them :-))
Great note by the way, now I am warned.

*o* Chris you are surprised me, you taste it before... That's my favourites fruit ;P Good taste !!

Cake was ok. I liked eating it once to try. It tastes ok, creamy custardy, but is slimy. It is against the law on buses and trains in singapore! Stink is not a strong enough word! Good pic!
