I still remember the days when I have to open nearly up to a hundred of durian by myself a day for my research. It was really not an easy job and I was lucky that I was trained from small to do it. Otherwise I will not be able to survive the process. Back then, even my dad do not know how to open a durian. I remember seeing him opening a durian using a huge knife which my mum use in her kitchen when I was small. He tried many ways and at last gave up the '' normal way'' of opening the durian but instead, chopped open the fruit horizontally! Yes you hear me right, it is' horizontally', whereby we have to dig out the durian 'biji' pieces by pieces to enjoy the fruit eventually!
Recently I have found a brilliant durian opener for sale in the market. The creation allow one to open a fruit so effortlessly that I wish it was created before my time doing the durian research avoiding my fingers being thorned opening so many fruit a day!
