I'd like to try it, but in my country it's sold only in one supermarket and the price is outrageous. It costs about 600 crowns, which is about 35 dollars.

For comparison: the price of a kilogram of apples ranges from 1 to 3 dollars, the price of one kilogram of bell peppers ranges from 3 to 5 dollars, the price of one kilo of pork shoulder is about 5 or 6 dollars.

Lots of my japanese friends here don't like durian. they hate the smell. and if you want to eat durian in japan , you'll have to buy it for around 10.000 yen or more.
But, durian is delicious in my opinion. Truly the king of fruits :D

Darn, I'm hungry again... ^o^
がお
Really enjoying your AFA coverage Danny. Oh man, so much durian. I still haven't developed a tasted for it after so many years. I remember relatives would bring over boxes of cream puffs to family gatherings as a kid, and the worst thing would be to pick one of the durian ones when you weren't expecting it XD

What's po-piah? Is it fried?
Duren! ^^ Manggis! I'm currently drinking pear and manggis powder mix, but it tastes awful >_< I miss manggis.
Dinner was at a food court thing? Unique!
Alchemist in training
Well popiah is both fried and wet . theres various types of Popiah .
LOL Didn't know there Ice-cream Popiah
In Malaysia we have 2 types of Popiah one is wet popiah and one is dry popiah (aka Fried Popiah)
Usually inside these popiah are vegetables like bean sprout and lettuce and the likes .
Its Delicous , I usually like the dried one better . read it on wikipedia

i can smell the tropical durian!!! the smell is poison but the taste is actually the antidote. the trick to eat durain is u must deactivate ur sense of smell and let ur sense of taste do the job.

I think it would be a bad idea to get into a foodfight there, some of the food looks dangerous if it hit you, lol

Eating is like the number 1 past time for folks living in Singapore.. because of the multi-racial society that we live in, we get to experience different types of food here.. Food is what i missed most when I'm out of this country..

Hey Danny...
1st off, a BIG thank you for taking time off from your busy schedule to come all the way from Japan down to SG to be with all of us...
Your presence @ AFA 09 was a very meaningful 1 at least to me...
On the last night of AFA 09, when i was resting with my friend near the maid cafe,i didn't expect you to pop out from behind...
That caught me completely off guard...
When you nodded to me, being stunned for awhile, all i could do was nod back...
but i had thought of personally thanking you in person before but never got the chance...
So,once again DOMO ARIGATOUGOZAIMASU DANNY SAN!!!
Thank you for making my AFA 09 experience a truly meaningful one...
Slave
Yoshiki Fukuyama......
You got to see him perform, take a picture with him, talk to him, ride in a cab with him, and have a conversation with him, and you ate dinner with him. If I were you, I could have died a happy man right there. So jealous.

Student/Evil Overlord
Gawd I hate Durian. Whenever my dad would come home from his trips in the southern islands here in the Philippines, he would always bring home some Durian and the kitchen/dining area would stink horribly for days >:-(
Student/Evil Overlord
To add, the only way I can eat Durian is if it is made into candy or some other sweet delicacy. I can never eat it fresh.

Looks like an amazing time, can't wait for pics on AFA Day 2. Also what time did you guys eat? One thing I love about going to Asia is all the delicious food stalls and small restaurants that are open late (some only at night!) so I got my grub on whenever I wanted to ^^;.
Also...AHHH DURIAN!!! KEEP IT AWAY!! lol

OMG! was there a duet between Yoshiki Fukuyama and May'n? they have one in her DVD singing Totsugeki Love Heart with him and it was amazing! that'd be a performance i'd love to see live.
Macross 7 had some fantastic songs. some were just played at awkward moments, lol.
Daydreamer
There was. They did Diamond Crevasse & Dynamite Explosion which blew everyone away. It was on par with the Totsugeki Love Heart duet (although Fukuyama did not have his backing band with him). He also said he will bring JAM project over next year! Gotta start saving $$$!

Only in Asian countries will you see durian laid out on the table like that, lol. Oddly I find it smells quite fragrant and sweet but I haven't managed to get past the gooey slimy sensation...
I got so jealous when I saw the last photo. That's a mangosteen, Queen of fruits and the most delicious fruit I have ever taste. I can't wait till they manage to grow them a bit closer to the states. *_*
