Durian Madness



They call it the "King of Fruits." Hmnnn....it looks like a human organ, is covered in a thin outer skin and has the consistency of custard. The smell reeks and its onion-y aftertaste is reason enough to fall in love with Listerine.

But to Singaporeans, durian rocks and they're proud of their "stinky fruit." So much so, their performing arts complex is essentially two metallic durians. I just went to a Puccini opera there last weekend and the building was stunning.
