Dipping it in sambal
In the video, the TikToker dips the durian skin, still covered with the thorny fruit’s flesh, into red sambal before chewing it without displaying any signs of discomfort.
At times, he even bit off a huge chunk of the shell and chewed it like it was a cookie.
He also recorded the video with clear audio for the audience to appreciate the sound of him chewing the durian shell.
Netizens’ reaction
The TikToker, who previously received numerous comments from users asking if he had ever eaten durian, surprised everyone by consuming the skin instead of the fruit itself.
This unexpected act quickly caught the attention of many, amassing 3.7 million views at the time of writing.
