    I don't care what they say, Chow Kit will always be one of my favorite durian spots

    Hey fruitarian -

    I wrote a post about that should help you out: How to Open a Durian

    You should definitely leave it out to thaw for 6-8 hours. Don't leave it for days, or it will go bad.

    The difficulty of opening a durian is legendary and the basis for many jokes. See the extended efforts of the Portlandia crew if you don’t believe me…

    $4/kg here in brisbane, only issue they r deep frozen, btw anybody wonder how much durian is too much? So if u go by percentage of calories are fat than its quite a bit but still nothing compared to dead-foods, looking forward to hopefully having my first Aussie durians within the month if season kicks in.

    Always good to know! Thanks Darc'Fruitman.

    Haven't found much durian yet here in Sri Lanka, but it was going for about $1/kilo in Davao City, Philippines last week. Just posted a review of all the durian varieties you can find there. Will let you know what we find in Sri Lanka!
