Durians an exotic fruit we love or hate at same time! goto [[2]] someone (obviously an expert wrote
- Many have tried to describe the odor--gasoline and rotting meat are repeatedly used. In fact, the smell is not so bad. It's just very, very strong. So strong that it is illegal to transport durians on the subway. I can easily tell when my neighbors have opened a durian. Everyone else in the building can also tell. Most foreigners here find it impossible to get past the smell. Some work up enough courage to give it a try and will admit that the taste is superior to the smell (big surprise) but they avoid the fruit ever after. Smell and taste are connected of course. Plug up your nose completely and you can't taste the difference between an onion, a potato, and an apple. So, the only way you can truly appreciate the complicated flavor of the durian is to come to an understanding about its odour. }
- Further more about eating it:
- Many people say you don't really notice the smell of a durian when you eat it, but I say the opposite is true--while eating the durian you start to discern the taste and smell with greater comprehension so you don't find it so overwhelming. You're close to the fruit, intimate with its inner secrets, so strong and sensual. Its heady ripeness and creamy custard flesh draws you in and it does seem to have a slightly intoxicating effect. The taste is unique so I won't even try to make comparisons to other foods.
- So when you try it for the first time here , get a picture, you can tell when go back home!

Durian Puff
- This mini durian puff is simply heaven. 20 in a box for $8.50. Really shoik. Most of them who tried simply loves it. Here's the address- Puteri Mas Pte Ltd, 475 Joo Chiat Road, Tel. 344 8629 - Grindle (February 99)
- I finally found the best durian puff in town that TV5 very own James Lye can't even resist.
Unlike other durian puff in the market, PUTERI MAS PTE LTD at 475 Joo Chiat Rd, Tel : 3448629 / Fax : 344 8329 offers durian puff fresh from the oven with the most generous durian fillings. *The taste is so superb that orders have been pouring in not only from walk in customers but also from companies who order by 10s of boxes. I've also tried other delicacies like the authentic nonya kuehs which taste equally heavenly. Operating hours is from 10.30am to 6.30pm Tuesday to Friday and 10.30am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday. Monday is closed. - LLC
- Durian Crepes and Durian Ice Kacang
I had Durian crepes and Durian ice-kacang at the cafe at Lady Hill hotel (can't remember the name) If Durian doesn't knock you out (in a nasty way) it's great stuff... Brenda Durian Drink - Well believe it!!! There's this stall at Clementi Food Market (the one not far from the MRT station) had a stall selling Durian Drink for $1.00. Taste like melted Durian Ice Cream - fantastic! May not be for those who are not daring when it comes to food - but do give it a try. Weird but definitely exciting! It's next to a stall

The human brain, a 3-pound mass of interwoven nerve cells that controls our activity, is one of the most magnificent--and mysterious--wonders of creation. The seat of human intelligence, interpreter of senses, and controller of movement, this incredible organ continues to intrigue scientists and layman alike. Over the years, our understanding of the brain--how it works, what goes wrong when it is injured or diseased--has increased dramatically. However, we still have much more to learn. The need for continued study of the brain is compelling: millions of Americans are affected each year by disorders of the brain ranging from neurogenetic diseases to degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, as well as stroke, schizophrenia, autism, and impairments of speech, language, and hearing.
Today, these individuals and their families are justifiably hopeful, for a new era of discovery is dawning in brain research. Powerful microscopes, major strides in the study of genetics, and advances in brain imaging devices are giving physicians and scientists ever greater insight into the brain. Neuroscientists are mapping the brain's biochemical circuitry, which may help produce more effective drugs for alleviating the suffering of those who have Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. By studying how the brain's cells and chemicals develop, interact, and communicate with the rest of the body, investigators are also developing improved treatments for people incapacitated by spinal cord injuries, depressive disorders, and epileptic seizures. Breakthroughs in molecular genetics show great promise of yielding methods to treat and prevent Huntington's disease, the muscular dystrophies, and other life-threatening disorders. Research may also prove valuable in our war on drugs, as studies provide greater insight into how people become addicted to drugs and how drugs affect the brain. These studies may also help produce effective treatments for chemical dependency and help us to understand and prevent the harm done to the preborn children of pregnant women who abuse drugs and alcohol. Because there is a connection between the body's nervous and immune systems, studies of the brain may also help enhance our understanding of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
Many studies regarding the human brain have been planned and conducted by scientists at the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Mental Health, and other Federal research agencies. Augmenting Federal efforts are programs supported by private foundation and industry. The cooperation between these agencies and the multidisciplinary efforts of thousands of scientists and health care professionals provide powerful evidence of our nation's determination to conquer brain disease.
To enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 174, has designated the decade beginning January 1, 1990, as the "Decade of the Brain" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now, Therefore, I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the decade beginning January 1, 1990, as the Decade of the Brain. I call upon all public officials and the people of the United States to observe that decade with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifteenth.
