Durians don't have an odour! They smell great
and delicious too ^ But not many people dare to try the durian. Like for me, I can't stand stinky tofu, really pungent!Durians are more spiky, and I believe that the fruit that was seen is the jackfruit, or nangka they call it here.

What is a durian?
Well...simply put, Durian is a fruit: a big, green thorny fruit. But wait, it is not just another exotic and expensive fruit from South East Asia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout the region. Personally, I think that is an understatement of the millenium since we Asian are humble people. In fact, the actual status of Durian is "THE GOD OF ALL FRUIT!". No kidding! Yeah, yeah, I know, some (unadventurous) people would rather die than to smell the STINK of a durian. Heck, a few countries even BAN the presence of durian in selected public spots due to its offensive smell
