McDonald’s Singapore is selling a “Durain Crunch McFlurry” that combines soft-serve ice-cream with everyone’s favorite stinkily delicious T-Rex-testical-looking fruit. It sells for S$2.80 or about USD2.23. Singapore sports many spectacular shave-ice dessert places that combine durian with things like kidney beans, sweet corn and candied fruit (serving durian cold suppresses some of the eye-watering perfume), and I’d one of those over anything McHorrible’s produces any day.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it’s the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

You’ll notice it’s only available at dessert kiosks, presumably not in the restaurants themselves.
Actually, I’m surprised Singapore allows durian at all.
(Full disclosure: I *love* durian….but I understand it’s not for most people.)
One time in Malaysia we were having this buffet breakfast and my son spied an ice cream freezer. I told him he could get an ice cream so he came back with what he thought was mango ice cream. He took one mouthful and then generously gave it to me to finish. Such a thoughtful son.
My wife, who likes durian, finished it for us.
Durian crunch??
What’s next, natto nachos?
Durian has all the appeal of 10-day-old roadkill carrion. Except it smells worse.
