Mr Philip had the First Durian on the party!
After Mr Philip had the First Durian on that evening, the Party began! I was surprised! Not many Caucasian like Durian because fo the strong odour.
Many other foods available on that evening, most of them served with Durian's flavour.

All Durians were available at the outdoor area which was the main spot of that evening...

Too bad the Musang King was not available...
Everyone was busy looking for their Favorite Durian's food...
Next to the Durian 'stall', I found the Delicious Durian's spring roll stall...
