Looks like a fairly standard (if slightly thrifty) Chinese fried rice save for the presence of bacon instead of your usual prawns et al, but then with just one spoonful your mouth is instantly under durian's pungent siege, and your inner mouth will detect the invisible but unmistakable gloopy durian coating. You need to love durian to enjoy this, as nothing else (the bacon is admirably willing but the flesh is weak) carries the dish. 3.5/5
