Finding decent durian?
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong soon and I'm obsessed with durian. I know it's a bit of a pungent fruit, but I can't get enough of the stuff. Every trip's gotta have that unique, strong smell –… more
Yeah, you'll find durian in ParknShop, but the quality can be…iffy. Sometimes it's amazing, other times it's been sitting there for a week.
