Durian lovers flock to themed market on Kaohsiung’s Love River
Durian lovers flock to themed market on Kaohsiung’s Love River
2025-08-14
A Durian Market stunk up the shores of Kaohsiung’s Love River last weekend, as nearly 40 vendors peddled all sorts of smelly wares such as durian crepes, durian ice cream, and durian mochi. Yet some of the vendors themselves were not fans and had to bear the smell to do business, while others had to put up with it for the sake of their durian-loving spouse.
Crowds line up to buy freshly cut durian along the banks of Kaohsiung’s Love River during this smelliest of events, last weekend’s Durian Market.
A thick layer of durian spread is coated onto a bun before laying on a slab of butter to complete this durian pineapple bun.
Customer
It’s better than the usual one. It has a more complex flavor.
This durian sherbert from Singapore is already flavorful enough. Adding some durian drizzle on top makes it even stronger.
Customer
The drizzle is so creamy. I like it, I like it.
Vendor
I especially prepared a really strong version. I made a topping from fresh durian. The flavor is really intense.
Or there are these French crepes, filled with a durian cream filling. Kids and adults both love it.
Customer
It’s good. It tasted like durian.
Customer
I love it. It’s sweet and also soft and spongy.
Nearly 40 vendors served all sorts of durian wares at the market, pleasing fans of this “king of the fruits.” But actually, some of the vendors themselves weren’t so enthused.
Vendor
It’s ok. Just ok. It’s to make money.
Others may not enjoy it, but they’ll come for love.
Visitor accompanying wife
I don’t like the taste.
Visitor accompanying friend
I don’t normally. I won’t eat it. It’s too strong. It makes me retch.
Some people love it, while others can’t get far enough away. But no matter how you feel about durian, it’s undeniable that Taiwan’s first market dedicated to the King of the Fruits was a roaring success.
