Durian
Durian is what Singapore Smells like according to my sister Katie. And she is right i
The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive.
If you are Singaporean you find durian a delicacy, if you are American you find it the worst smelling and tasting food in the entire world- eew eew eew, even as a gelato flavor it is disgusting, which is hilarious because they have to keep it in a seperate container other wise it will smell up the rest of the ice cream.
And my favorite because it smells so bad it is against the law to carry it in a taxi, bus, or MRT
Spencer's take on it- "Dirtian (or Durian) it smells awful you can smell it all the way from America."
But Asia loves it so much that they designed the Esplanade Art Theater after it- Amazing!
