店主のアグネス姐さんに「また来たよ～♪」って挨拶して「いつも信じてるから，いちばん美味しそうなの選んで」ってお願い。姐さんが「あなたラッキー。昨夜，猫山王が届いた。今日いちばん美味しい」って，真剣に一番良さそうなのをご主人とふたりがかりで選んでくれました。息子さんはテーブルに冷水やグローブを用意してくれるし。
感動しました。今まで食べたドリアンで，いちばん熟して甘く，アルコ－ル臭もまろやかに乗っています。あのドリアン独特の臭さは感じません。カスタードっぽい食感と甘さ・ほろ苦さ・リキュールみたいな風味で圧倒的な完熟の美味しさを堪能させてくれました。口に含んだ途端に形象崩壊して，リキュールを利かせたカスタードクリームそのものを口いっぱいほうばってるような感覚に陶酔。
おみやげに「日干しドリアン」ってのも買ってきちゃった。ドリアンの加工品ってネガティブな部分ばっかり強調されてて美味しかったためしがないから，なんちゃって罰ゲーム体験のお土産にするつもりです。(爆)
旬のドリアン，やっぱり最高でした。また2019年も1月にシンガポール便を予約入れなくちゃ。

ReplyDeleteThe durian is believed by a lot of folks in Southeast Asia in the way that the Ruler of Fruits, isn’t it ?
I know some people including you judge the fruit as enduring a charmingly delicious and pleasant odor, although the reminder detects the distinctive smell beating with a bad scent.
The flavor may induce responses from very far acknowledgment as you posted to severe antipathy, and has been explained diversely as disgusting uncooked garbage.
The perseverance of its scent might continue for a few days and has brought to its removal from some places where one pays for accommodation and civil transportations in some countries.
By comparison, some people call its odor as an abundant pudding which is deeply spiced with almonds.
What a mysterious fruit the durian is !...I’m ashamed not to have tried the fruit in my life before…

Best Denki sensei,
DeleteCertainly durian is the king of fruits for Southeastern Asians. When I visited Indonesia, I saw the statures of durians here and there. It looks like as if it were a kinda cult religious monuments....
Basically and generally saying, durian is stinky for the people who wasn’t raised up with this civilization. But once became okay with this distinctive smell, it is a good sign to find a durian shop. It is somewhat similar to Unagi Kabayaki restaurants in japan, the smell attracts the people near by and capturing. ....mmm, it sounds like insects catching plants. (Lol)
You must try at least once on your lifetime, and judge by yourself. That is the only way whether it is for you or not. ;)
