    My barber insisted I try durian coffee yesterday.

    I’m not going to be having durian coffee again.

    This article is almost enough to make me interested in tasting durian

      It kinda tastes like a combination of garlic and onion. I don’t like it by itself or in desserty stuff like smoothies or mochi, but I could see it going well with savory dishes… which I’ve never seen on a menu, so I’m guessing it doesn’t heat up well. If it caramelized the way onion does, it’d be my go-to for a lot of dishes.

        It’s unfortunate that you can taste the garlic and onion. I can’t, and to me Durian is sweet and creamy.

          Oh, I didn’t know this was one of those things that everyone experiences differently - I just thought some people really like that garlic/onion flavor lol.
