@stellabelle Regarding @misbenkito, it could just be lack of research but this line in the Hong Kong post, "The combination of pudding and durian creates a unique flavor, the aromatic smell of durian and egg make us want to order one more." Has anyone smelled Durian? WHOA. It's enough to get the gas company in to do an inspection! I love it but it's not for everyone. I heard that in Asia (I have not been) there are signs in public places, airports, etc. that BAN it, therefore I find it VERY odd that someone would mention it without mentioning that it's like BANNED due to it's INTENSE smell. "aromatic smell?" Really? You'd send me out to the far end of your backyard to eat it!

Omg im very disappointed that you are totally lack of knowledge about food to say that durian smell is BANNED. Im sorry, but not at all, buy yourself a ticket to hongkong or maybe thailand and you'll see what I mean ;)
Well, while durian is sold almost in any supermarket, you are not allowed to take it into hotels.
I know because I once left durian in a supermarket bag at my friends door in a hotel in singapore (i had to catch a cab to the airport) the hotel was almost evacuated, as the smell went into the aircondition and than transmitted to the whole Hotel ;)
But I just read mibenkito hkg post, and the combination of pudding and durian might not smell as bad as a fresh durian fruit. I think I had something similar in the past somewhere, and the smell was ok (it was not so bad at all)
that's an amazing story!
I know that durian is not allowed in hotels and also the airplanes, but not in public. They are sold everywhere in some asian countries (especially south east asia), and in hongkong there is even a dessert store with durian to be the main ingredient @knozaki2015. I ate there long time ago but still love that unforgetable flavor. I know that not all of us can stand the smell of durian, but once you're in love, you get addicited, just like me ^^
