Unusual Things you can do - Durian Fascination

Durian Fascination
What is a durian?It is big, green thorny fruit. Its a fruit but not just a fruit. . But wait, it is not just another exotic and expensive fruit from South East Asia. In fact, it is considered "King of the Fruit" throughout the region. This fruit is controversial - the entire country is divided into two camps - those who love the fruit and those that hate it. The last survey done tells us the country is split right down the middle on this issue. If you ask a Singaporeans whether he likes durian, you have a 50% chance of getting a YES.

They say there are people born to fall in love with the Durian and others who are born to hate it. There are many durian stalls around the island, you might want to give it a try when you find one. Near the city there a place where they sell durians and where most Westerners get their 'virgin experience' with the fruit: Drop off at the Bugis MRT Station, get out and head north, opposite Bugis Junction to Bugis Village, you will find a few durian stalls there. Ask the stall holder find a good durian open it - eat the stuff on the spot, your hotel will not allow you to bring the offending fruit back. If you fall in love with it, get a few tupperware, put the fruit in, it will last about a week in the fridge.
