Ketika sedang asyik layan Youtube,aku agak tertarik dengan satu video yang memaparkan Orang-orang dari Barat yang cuba untuk merasai pengalaman makan durian. Dan video-video tu berjaya buat aku tergelak dan pelik dengan penerimaan masyarakat Barat mengenai durian.
"As Angry Bob said,it smells like ass"
~Ayat yang paling aku takleh blah..Hahaaa...
Kebanyakan dari koleksi-koleksi video tu menunjukkan masyarakat Barat tidak menggemari buah durian ni ; walaupun bagi aku,that's my fav...
Video-video yang aku lihat adalah bagaimana orang-orang Barat ni merakamkan pengalaman pertama mereka makan buah durian. Dua perkara yang pada aku sangat-sangat kelakar ; walaupun bukan salah mereka kerana di sana tiada pokok durian yang di tanam.
1. Mereka samakan durian dengan pelbagai jenis buah, seperti pisang,kelapa, dll. Kebanyakan bersetuju yang durian mempunyai bau seakan-akan bawang.. Hahaa..
2.Cara mereka mengopek buah durian. Mungkin mereka menganggap yang cara untuk mengopek durian tu sama dengan buah-buah yang lain.
p/s: Aku pon baru belajar kopek buah durian ni dalam 5 bulan yang lepas.[Hahaa]
Kampung aku terletak di Perak,specifically di dalam kawasan Taiping. Di sana, aku mempunyai sedara yang punya kebun durian yang agak besar. Sesekali,aku mengunjungi mereka dan akan ke kebun durian untuk mengkibau seguni besar durian. Dan, aku akan makan sampai aku tak rasa bau durian atau ngn kata lain, bila aku da sebati ngn bau durian..[Hahaha lg sekali]
Sedikit petikan dari laman sesawang [http://neohumanism.org/d/du/durian.html]
The durian is a type of tropical fruit predominantly found in Southeast Asia. The fruit is green to brown, oblong to round, prickly with strong sharp thorns and emits a strong, distinctive smell, that for some people is offensive-smelling.
The durian is native to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei, although it can grow in any similar climate. The center of ecologic diversity for durian is the island of Borneo. Thailand is a major exporter of durians. Other places where durian is grown include Mindanao in the Philippines, Queensland in Australia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, and Sri Lanka.
Because the fruit's odour is offensive to some people, it is forbidden to bring durians as hand luggage on to aircraft belonging to some airlines. They are also forbidden on the Singapore public transit system.
Many people regard the durian to be a very tasty fruit; it is often called the "king of fruits" by locals. Some Westerners have described the fruit as "like eating custard in a public lavatory". The mild-tasting, large seeds can be roasted and eaten.
The durian tree grows up to 40 metres in height and durians can hang from any branches, and a typical durian can weigh 1-2 kg, so a durian plantation during durian season is hardhat territory. A durian falling on a person's head can cause serious injuries.
The scientific name for the durian of commerce is Durio zibethinus. Other edible durian species are sometimes available in the local markets of Southeast Asia. The scientific name of other species are Durio kutejensis, Durio oxlevanus, Durio graveolens, and Durio dulcis.
There are many clones of the durian, all having a name starting with D and a number. For example, some popular clones are D24, D99, D158 and D159 (this is the 'Mon Thong' variety).
In the Philippines, the center of durian production is Davao Region in Mindanao. The Kadayawan festival is an annual celebration featuring the durian in Davao City.
