Lindsay Gasik, Year of the Durian

Durians Are Forever

It’s that time of the year again when the King of Fruits reigns supreme and sends us all into a frenzy (for better or worse!). Whether you belong in the camp that loves it, or hates it, there is no denying durian's influence as a social fruit that unites us all. So, in the spirit of the season, this episode of I Love KL goes back to the basics of durian, from determining its various types and tastes, to busting some of the more commonly known myths associated with the fruit.
