Before you make a little review on Singapore cuisine, considered the culinary capital of Asia, let me introduce you to an exotic fruit that stirs more languages by the comments it inspired by chewing his flesh durian:
Durian is a fruit that looks straight out of prehistory with its spiny shell. This is not a very appetizing fruit first. Unfortunately, that includes his skin does not make it more attractive: the durian emits a strong odor, capable of delaying an aircraft . A very acrid odor that smells very far. The "game" for a time between the different apartments of students was a durian hide in a corner until the victim realizes it, which does not take much time!
Durian is eaten throughout Southeast Asia. It can be found in all the markets of Singapore, but it is forbidden to carry in the MRT subway to not annoy local citizens:
For even packaged in cellophane and with two plastic bags, durian expresses its character. The taste, when with him, is close to the onion. The first (And last) time that we tasted, we thought we ran into a bit rotten, so the smell was strong, the flesh soft and taste suspiciously.
But then you tell me, why is there a durian fruit as sold? Why do we even desserts and ice cream (imagine, ice with onion, brrrr!)? Well because behind all its aspects repugnant, durian hides a very subtle taste. Like many other flavors, durian requires prior education of the palate to appreciate it. I'm getting soft in his scent, maybe by the end of my stay I'll finish by Regout in a song!
