GEORGE TOWN: Those who are craving for durians but have no idea where to start hunting for the King of Fruits can now consult a book specially written on the subject.

Interestingly, The Durian Tourist’s Guide to Penang was not written by a Malaysian but by an American, who fell for the fruit when she first discovered its frozen version in 2009.
