Durian Shakes!

[halland]

I at at Malay Satay Hut the other night and took the opportunity to try a durian shake. It was awesome!!! The smell is indeed a ripe one, but the creamy flavor can't be beat.

Does anyone know of places near the International District Bus Tunnel that serve anything durian?

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

hal

The Pochi Bubble tea shop in the University district sells one. We dared a friend to drink it and he almost threw up in the process. Needless to say, we can't get over the smell.

We have a Pochi Tea Station (same one as you, Schielke) here in Lawrence, KS, and they serve a durian shake, but it's from frozen durian.

Much peace,

Mmmmm.... durian. STINKY!

I'm not sure yet if Honey Moon (?) in the Uwajimaya food court serves durian ice cream but you could check with them.. they have a revolving list of interesting ice cream/shake/tea flavors. I like lychee. Yum.

It's been ages since I went to Far Far's in Issaquah, but they used to make their own durian ice cream there.

Here is a thread from EONS ago about durian ice cream at Far Fars:

Hey... the Thai place in the Great Wall Mall has durian bubble tea. I've never been bold enough to try it. The mall, of course, is in Kent.

I tried Durian gelato at La Casa Gelato (great gelato place recommended by Laurie and Heyjude) in Vancouver BC a few months ago. It was perfect as a taste, but I would not have wanted a whole scoop of it.

Lots of durian here in Portland. I tried it. Thanks for trip Mr. Bourdain. Hated it but proud of myself for lugging that huge thing home and slicing it open by myself as my family looked on going "EEEWWWWW!" Nasty...just not my thing.

I think this guy is onto something.

There are also durian popsicles sold in many of the Asian grocery stores in the ID. Uwajimaya sells them in a stand-alone freezer (along with other flavors: mango, red bean, etc) near the ice cream section.
