The "king" of fruit in Southeast Asia, it has distinctive odor, an acquired taste and also banned in some establishment. Although the fruit is not native to Thailand, the country is currently one of the major exporters of durians in the world. Peak durian season in Thailand is between May to August, you can find them easily in supermarket or any corner of open market.
Currently I'm crazy about durian pancake served in one of the Chinese restaurant here in Bangkok, it has faint odor and smooth creamy texture, perfect ending of a great supper. Note to self, must go for another pancake or two before the month end.
Market findings of the day,
I love Bangkok fresh market !
Clockwise : Seedless Guava, Banana, Rose Water Apple (chompoo in Thai) and Mango. The 2 cake wrapped in banana leaves in the middle are steamed sticky rice with kidney beans and banana.
