Attack of the King!

The KING of KINGS has invaded our tiny red dot!! It is again THE season of the prickly King! The oh-so-out-of-the-world, so-aromatic, so-creamy, so-bitter-sweet, & so-totally-heavenly Durian King! It Has Finally Arrived. Hallelujah!

Everywhere, you'd see truckloads overladen with wobbling baskets of green pricklies, makeshift stalls stacked high with thorny pyramids, & gleeful families lugging bulging, spike-pierced bags. The atmosphere is electrifying.

I wonder... if there is a DAS (Durian Anonymous Society) that'd offer some kind of comprehensive cold-turkey package for die-hards. You see, there is basically nothing sensibly good about this sinful fruit. It is high in calories, high in cholestrol, high in sugar content, induces gout, causes 'heatiness', may cause bankruptcy if one goes for high-quality D24/X0 types, and to some people, extremely offending in smell. But heck, love is blind, and all-encompassing.

Your Excellency, I adore you. And it definitely ain't time to check into DAS... yet.
