Craving Durian

Durian was not appealing to me before. In fact, its strong smell offended my taste buds the first time I challenged myself to taste this fruit. During my first trip to Davao in the summer of 2009, I finally got to taste and eat chunks of it. Maybe because the one we had was fresh or just the likable variety. Since then, I have enjoyed eating the fruit with Bobby who is very fond of it.

Today, a friend gave us a fruit weighing more than 3 kg from their tree. Fortunately, they don't eat the fruit (maybe not anymore next time when they get used to its smell and taste) and just give it away to durian-eater friends like us.
