I've read SO much about this notorious fruit, and I'm SO curious to know what it tastes (and, OK, smell!) like!

PS: It really does look like a sleeping cat! ^^

Me too. I have heard many rumors about this fruit, especially about smell!! You can not bring them to an airplane. Is it true or an urban legend???
I guess taste must be so good.

No durian is allowed on the airplane, in hotels & shopping centers because of its smell. :P

They said you either love it or hate it~
