Very strong durian flavor! I like it very much!
weee.13885895
As an American, I've never tried durian before, so I was very interested to see it in pastry form. These are delicious! The pastry is a nice blend of sweet and savory, but not too sweet at all, which is why I like it. I am not sure how durian is supposed to taste, but this tastes like a lovely custard-y sweet onion treat. I'd definitely buy this again, probably with my next order if they're still available!
