In durian-loving Singapore, the fresh fruit is famously banned from mass transportation, most hotels, and many other public accommodations; confected durian knows no such restrictions. Top: durian salat (S$1, about 75 U.S. cents at the time), blended with the coconut jam called kaya, on sticky rice. Below: a durian-filled pukis (Poo-kiss, 90 Singapore cents), a molded cake native to Indonesia, childhood home of the founder of the Bengawan Solo chain.
