[NEWS] An RWS Invites Durian Extravaganza
Durian lovers might disagree about how to best enjoy a durian. For example, some love to wash it down with a can of beer, despite the myths about the fatality of mixing alcohol with the fruit. But I’m sure we can all agree that durian-eating is a communal affair.
Come July 27, a Durian Extravaganza at the Coliseum (at Hard Rock Hotel Singapore) will pay homage to the humble practice of eating durians with family and friends. There will be three tonnes (yes, 3,000 kilograms) of over six different varieties, from Jin Feng (Golden Phoenix) to the famed Mao Shan Wang. And it won’t be any old sit down; enjoy your durians – and other fruits – in a setting that’s reminiscent of the good old kampong days, with rustic thatched roofs, wooden benches, and ambient lighting.

As a child, I remember wielding a magnifying glass, pretending to be an explorer. The romantic idea of treasure hunting has for centuries ensnared the hearts of the adventurous; it’s not so much the magnitude of the find but the journey of discovering the unknown.
