My mom is in Davao since last week and I was a bit worried because of the Tsunami scare but she wasn’t – not a bit. When I called her, she told me not to worry and immediately diverted the topic. At the end of our chit-chat, she asked me what ‘pasalubong’ I would want. Well, I already have a couple of ‘malong’ so what else would I want? Ahhh! – Durian, my fave Davao goodie.

When I first saw a Durian fruit, I was scared of it. It was huge as a football (most are even bigger) and it had spikes. I had imagined what would happen to me if I would accidentally bump myself into a durian and it was terrible. On top of its unappetizing appearance, it stinks.
Much to my surprise however, it tasted good - really good. It’s creamy, sweet, and addicting. No wonder a lot of goodies are made out of it - candies, cakes, biscuits, shakes, ice cream. This fruit is definitely a treasure beneath a pile of stinky junk.
Not everyone appreciates the beauty that is D (D for Durian and D for Delicioso!) though. My sisters don’t like it the way I do – not the actual fruit anyway. They usually go for the candies. That’s a good thing really because that means I get to have more ;)
