Oh god, my mom and I took one for the team and ordered a durian bubble tea. It was $6 since it had real, fresh fruit in there, but we figured it would be the best way to try durian.
Who here has tried durian before, and what does it taste like to you?
I’m telling you, this bubble tea tasted like a freaking onion milkshake. I’ll admit, I wimped out after a couple sips and refused to consume anymore calories worth of liquified creamy onions. Blech.
FWIW, the other day, I got an avocado (and strawberry) fresh fruit bubble tea the other day, for the first time, and it was awesome. I can see why avocado is very popular in bubble tea. It was so rich and creamy, like strawberries ‘n’ cream.
EDIT: OMG! The creamy onion bubble tea makes me think of The Rutles’ Cheese and Onions (for all you Beatles and/or Monty Python fans). It all makes sense now:

Mmm…creamy onions. Exactly what I’ve been looking for in a tea.
For real. French Onion Dip tea.
I heard this song recently. Ha ha.
Oh dear, not sure I want to try durian now. That sounds unpleasant.
I’ve heard that Durian tastes like how rotting corpses smell; haven’t come across the chance to try it myself though :P
Durian SMELLS awful but tastes delicious.
You’d like it would taste like how it smells since that’s how many foods work. SO GLAD I don’t get rotting corpses, though!
Sil, what exactly does it taste like to you, though? I’ve heard people who like it describe it as custard. But I simply get strong onions, both in taste and smell.
it was like custard to me as well..mind you this was a LONG time ago…my vivid memories are mostly of me smelling it and being..oh hells NO…i am NOT putting that in my mouth iif it smells like that… but then i did :)
All the power to you! Maybe there are different species of durian which vary in flavour and scent, anyway.
there are for sure different varieties that taste different
I really like durian! It tastes like vanilla creamy custard ice cream to me.
My boyfriend said it smells like vomit but also sometimes smells like the custard that I taste. Weird.
Weird. It’s the blue and black/white and gold dress of bubble tea tastes. I have never heard of durian before. I’m intrigued. Will I get custard or rotting corpses if I eat it? :P
I’ve tried durian-flavoured gelato before – and it tasted like burnt onions mixed with old socks. It took me all day to get the taste out of my mouth. DX
Ok cool, so another point goes to onions haha.
Lynne, glad you can pick up on the custard at least!
