		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s durian season here in Penang, Malaysia and there are durian stalls selling this thorny fruit every corner you turn. While a lot of people consider the smell of durian as &#8220;stinky&#8221; and &#8220;repulsive&#8221;&#8211;so much so that they are banned in hotel rooms in Malaysia!&#8211;I love this king of fruits. (For those who enjoy durian, we think of the smell as &#8220;aromatic.&#8221;) Some of the best durians in Malaysia come from the durian orchards in Balik Pulau, Penang, which is on the less-developed side of the island of Penang. Growing up, my family&#8211;especially when my uncle and his family come to visit us in Penang&#8211;would drive all the way up to Balik Pulau, into the durian orchards in search of the freshest and just-drop-off-the-tree durians. At the durian orchards, we would sample various kinds of durian and pick the ones we loved the most to take back with us&#8230; Once we get home, all my family would gather around savoring the durians, and the leftover will then be refrigerated for a &#8220;durian rice&#8221; dish (durian with steamed glutinous rice drenched in sweetened coconut milk). Eating durian is a family tradition, ones that I often reminisce. I remember watching &#8220;Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern&#8221; (an American travel and food program) where Andrew Zimmern came to a durian orchard in Penang and described the taste of durian as &#8220;a rotten onion.&#8221; If you have tried them out, do let me know your durian eating experiences. I am very curious to find out what you think! To learn more about the tropical fruits of Malaysia, please click here.]]></description>
