The female tourist said she bought durian out of curiosity. She had smelled the fruit before and did not like it. But Lucija still tried to experience it to have an objective assessment.

Lucija is known as "the fruit that divides the world " because many people love it but many people also... hate it.

She bought half a durian from a fruit vendor on the sidewalk in Da Nang . The seller said the price of durian was 100,000 VND/kg (PV - including the shell).

The seller split the durian into segments and put them on the scale. The female tourist's durian segment cost 200,000 VND. Lucija happily paid and eagerly tasted the flavor.

As soon as she opened the styrofoam box, the smell of durian hit her nose, and Lucija frowned slightly. She commented: "The texture of the durian looks quite delicious, similar to ice cream. But the smell is really unpleasant, it smells like rotten eggs or something like that."

Female tourist's expression when smelling durian.

After just a taste, the female tourist frowned and shook her head because she did not like the smell and taste of the fruit. She was sure that this was the first and last time she tasted durian. In her personal opinion, Lucija gave this fruit the lowest score on a scale of 10.

Her video received more than 1 million views and more than 1.2 thousand comments. Many people think that Lucija's "shock" at the smell of durian is completely normal. They advise the girl to get used to the taste of durian with dishes such as durian crepes, durian sweet soup...

In the video, Lucija also curiously asked if 200,000 VND for a durian segment was too expensive. Viewers had different opinions.

"Durian sold on the sidewalk in cities at a price of 100,000 VND/kg/including the shell is not uncommon. Whether this price is expensive or cheap depends on the quality of the fruit or the type of durian," said an account.
