The Balik Pulau Durian Feast

The durian ( /ˈdjʊriən/)^[2] is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family^[1][3] (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae^[1]).
Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.
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 revolting. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as tert-Butylthiol, almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.

People come from all over the country to savor the Durian from Balik Pulau as it is well know to be  finger licking good among durians found in Malaysia. 

I never did found out who this young man was but he was busy  helping out at  the Duirna feast which was organized byt the Balik Pulau Art Club of which I am a committee member.

There are varieties of Durians to be found  and some are know to be worth a fortune or their weight in gold as they say.

A few friends standing before one of my creation which found its way to the show.

The lee family was there too.
