It is common knowledge that durian, on average, costs more than 100,000 VND per kilogram. Therefore, if you only eat the flesh of the fruit, it can be quite expensive.
A Tiktok account, hangnguyenmeolamdep, recently shared a clever way to eat durian without wasting any part of it, including the seeds and skin. This is a must-know for all durian enthusiasts.

Using a knife, cut the white part of the durian skin from the spiky shell, wash it, and then cut it into small pieces. Coat it in an egg layer and a crispy flour layer, then deep-fry it for a delicious snack!
