Things You Just Can't Get from Room Service: Durian Ice Cream
So you're going to Southeast Asia. So you're going to experience the putrid, spiky, fruit that comes with a reputation: Durian. Whether it's your first or your thirty-first brush with the fruit that smells so bad it's banned on subways on airplanes, there's always a new way to enjoy it. We think we found the best—as Durian ice cream!
At nahm at the Metropolitan Hotel Bangkok, this is totally an option (but of course, so is the classic mango sticky rice). Deny the temptation of the sticky rice! You're at the Bangkok branch of London's famous Michelin 3-starred nahm by Chef David Thompson, so you're already living a little dangerously.
The title "durian ice cream" is misleading, because as with all things at nahm, this dish is prepared in a proper Thai way, which for dessert means a little sticky rice (see, you get some sticky rice anyway), coconut milk, and slices of soft durian sweetened up a tad. It's perhaps the safest presentation for a first-time taster of Durian, and definitely needed to cool down your tastebuds after a meal of Thailand's traditionally spicy dishes.
