American billionaire's reaction when trying durian and grilled meat on the sidewalk causes a stir online

During a recent trip to Singapore, a video of billionaire Bill Gates tasting durian segments went viral on many social media platforms.

It is known that on the evening of May 6, the American billionaire appeared at the famous Newton food market.

Here, he enjoyed many typical dishes of the lion island, including durian, chicken rice and grilled meat skewers on the sidewalk. These are all popular dishes but are chosen by many locals because of their attractive flavors.

The 69-year-old billionaire was accompanied by a small delegation including a camera crew. It seemed they wanted to make a video of the billionaire's experience.

In the video posted by the crew, billionaire Bill Gates has clear reactions when tasting durian segments. It seems that he is not very impressed with this smelly fruit.

First, he brought it up to his nose, shook his head slightly, and took a bite. Then, the billionaire frowned, shrugged, and put the half-bitten durian segment back down on the table. It seemed that the smell was too strong for him to finish the segment.

In another video, the Microsoft co-founder happily enjoys some local specialties such as chicken rice and grilled meat skewers. He also spends time talking to the vendors. The videos were posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The video immediately went viral on social media with many heated comments. Many people said that this was an opportunity to promote Singaporean cuisine.

It is known that the food market where the American billionaire visited has many stalls selling local dishes, especially grilled seafood. This is also a favorite destination for Singaporeans and international visitors.

This place is also on the recommended list voted by the Singapore Tourism Board. Some stalls are also honored by the Michelin Guide.

Durian is a very special fruit, known as the "king of fruits" in tropical countries. This fruit is very popular in Southeast Asian countries, especially Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.

Those who know how to eat will love the rich taste of "golden rice" and its very characteristic strong aroma. However, because the scent is too strong, not everyone is familiar with this strange flavor.

Especially for foreign tourists - those coming from temperate or cold climates - this fruit is quite unfamiliar. Many people even expressed that they do not have enough courage to taste a durian segment.
