Important warning

If anyone offers you durian-flavoured sweets, say NO. Loudly and repeatedly.

Bloody Malaysian colleague trying to poison me :(

You were warned !

Her email said very clearly "These taste foul to Westerners".

Of course being an open minded individual I reserved judgement... until Toby and Andy had tried them. What, you don't think I'd test them on myself do you ?

No I wasn't!

Sadly, you don't share a room with her, and thus you got the chance to read the email before having one thrust upon you.

Besides, I try to have a policy of trying anything once.

Not tried durian-sweets, but may I also offer a warning on the chinese delicacy of preserved plums? I can't remember the proper name for them, but they're dried in a lip-pursing combo of salt and sugar.

Distinctly 'acquired' taste anyway...
