Ah, bummer to hear that you missed durian sticky rice. Time to go back…it is worth the trip and experience 🙂 Indeed durian ice cream is an easy way to start. Thanks, Jessica.

That’s funny!! It truly is an acquired taste and one that is not too bad 🙂 Cheers!

How did I miss the durian sticky rice during my many trips to Thailand? Bummer! I’m one of those weird people who really likes the fruit. Agree with you about the durian ice cream-great for starters plus is very yummy.

Hats off to you for trying! I tried the candy versions and didn’t like it so I don’t know if the fruit version is better.

That’s true Claudia, the Kanyao variety is the mildest variety and used for export, so it doesn’t surprise me that’s in Vancouver. Have you learned to enjoy the taste? It is an acquired taste and one that we enjoyed experiencing.

That’s so funny to read Peter. On the contrary, I really enjoyed durian ice cream, oddly enough, also in Penang. Go for the fruit, you’ve come really close 🙂 Thanks, Peter.

You absolutely need to try Mangosteen. So delicious and quite frankly, better tasting than Durian. You are right, durian is not as bad as described and it is worth the experience. Thanks, Paige.

For sure the Philippines is included. it is actually where we shot the first video 🙂 That’s funny your family likes Durian but you hate it. We actually learned to appreciate the natural fruit and also enjoyed the durian flavored products.
