榴梿飘香 Durian and its fragrance


榴梿,万果之王。

喜欢它者,会为之疯狂;一闻到榴莲飘香,若钱不够用,会不惜脱裤去当铺赊钱,买几粒榴梿来尝尝, 一享口福。反之,会觉得它味道太过呛鼻难闻,好比粪便!

小时候就听说 - 榴梿是当年郑和南下西洋,在马六甲逗留时,于丛林里大解时的粪便演变出来的!当然,这传言纯属无稽之谈!但可从中理解到为何榴梿的味道,不是每个人都能承受的了的。

我们全家大小,除了靖捷外,都喜欢榴梿。连我们最近领养的小狗,也蛮喜欢吃榴梿!

稍微有点品质的榴梿,其价格就因为中国大陆人民的喜爱追捧,在近十年来一直飙升!幸好偶尔会因为某种原因,榴梿园产量过多,供多于求,而导致价钱稍微实蕙些。

剖开榴梿,也是一门技术!油管频道上就常看到老外剖开榴梿的囧像。

Durians, touted as king of fruits. You either love it or hate it!

There are regular local farm durians that are cheaper; but there are also "branded" durians that are supposedly more palatable and expensive!

One can buy local durians at $5 per piece; whereas the branded durians may cost one $50 per piece!

Local durians can be as palatable as the "branded" ones! I guess it all depends on one's budget and taste.
