Durian is a controversial fruit because many people like it but many of them hate its smell. Because of the strong smell of it, and it tends to smell rotten, some transportation companies forbid people bring durian, for example in the plane, public transportation or into the hotel. However, many people still like durian. Durian is quite expensive. Durian has various kinds. There are 20 species of durian in Indonesia. Nine of them can be eaten. Durian fruit is eaten when it is in the fresh condition. In general this fruit is sweet and very nutritious because it consists of carbohydrate, fat, protein, and mineral. In the harvest season of durian, this fruit is everywhere, especially in its production centre region. Traditionally, the flesh of the fruit can be cooked with sugar and it becomes “lempok or dodol” or it can be fermented to be tempoyak. The taste of tempoyak is sour and it is usually eaten with sambal or to be additional ingredient to cook fish. Sometimes, durian can be mixed with other traditional cake ingredients like gelamai or jenang. It is also mixed in the dessert with glutinous rice. In this modern era, the taste of durian is also added in candy, ice cream, milk, and other kind of fresh drink.
