"Foreigners flee durian-eating contest"
Penang: They came, they took a whiff and they fled.
"That was what 18 foreign tourists did at a durian-eating contest organised for them at the Penang Fruits and Food Festival at the Pesta Site here yesterday.
Just as they got into the hall, they took a whiff of the fruit and refused to go any further. They only agreed to look at the thorny fruit from a distance."
Durian is known locally as 'king of the fruits' and it is not for nothing - you either love it or hate it. Somerset Maugham described it as like 'having strawberry and cream next to the toilet' or something to that effect.
Our ex-Malaysian friend, Alex (banana: yellow on the outside but white inside) actually bought >Rm200 worth of durians on one of his 'during-craving' tours in Malaysia.
Imagine having him take part in the contest!

We need better tools... to cover up mega corruptions.
