DURIAN, the green, spiky fruit with a creamy tasting flesh that possess a special place in the hearts of Malaysians. But let’s be honest, you either love it or hate it. And most recently, we learned that Japan’s very own Prime Minister loves durians too!
During a formal dinner hosted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and his wife, Dato’ Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Ismail, the Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida was presented with a plate of durian.
This was the Japanese Prime Minister’s first experience tasting durian. Kishida could be seen delicately cutting up the durian flesh with cutleries before cautiously consuming it.
