Fruit with an acquired taste
Feb-4-2010 By Teoh KH
I refer to the letter from Tony Danker of Ampang, ” Durian worth at least a try” ( NST, Jan 28 )
Like Danker, I am a loyal follower of the TV show Bizarre food. ” The host, Andrew Zimmern, had been offered a durian prior to the visit to Penang but was disgusted with the smell and taste.
However, he was willing to try it for the second time in his homeland America and again was floored by the fruit.
In that episode, he declared the durian as his number one nemesis and vowed to ‘ tame’ it one day. I guess he was not in Penang.
