But yes, Bob, in Davao durian is king. I've tried several Thai varieties, and they're pretty OK. But for me, the best is still Davao's native variety, the one that is slightly bitter. Yummy! <img src="http://www.angdabawenyo.com/images/smilies/razz.gif" class="wp-smiley" alt="razz"/> Ah..nobody was saying that durian is exclusively Davao’s, Dan.

The ones sold in New York -- I'd rather not relive that memory. @Dan: I’ve tasted Thai durian but I didn’t like it that much. The ones sold in New York — I’d rather not relive that memory.

But, when we speak of Durian in the Philippines, Davao is King, di ba? Hi Dan,

I agree, and don’t think I claimed any “exclusivity” for Davao when it comes to Durian. But, when we speak of Durian in the Philippines, Davao is King, di ba?

Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam boast of the quality of their durian too. In North America, visit an Asian store and you'll see durian being sold in its original form or the golden fleshy part of the fruit ackaged in transparent plastic containers -sealed properly to keep its odour.

Have you tried the Durian Suman at Hanoi? How about a Pomelo Salad? Hi Blogie – I’d say anything with Durian or Pomelo in it is a Davao Cuisine! Have you tried the Durian Suman at Hanoi?
