A mall in an Indonesian town displayed some rare Durian fruits, which have the most powerful smell in the world and have a huge popularity in southeastern Asia. The special fruits are being sold for $1,000 apiece.
The German News Agency reported that the store located in Tasikmalaya, managed to sell two of this fruit known as "J Queen" from the first day, despite its high price -14 million rupees (over $1000) apiece - according to the Compas.com website.
The fruit price caused a significant debate in the town, where the minimum monthly wage is two million rupees (around $142).
The local media reported that some of the mall visitors came and took pictures with the singular fruit. A social media user said on Twitter: "I would rather buy a motorcycle. At least, I can use it for ten years."
Aka, discoverer of the royal type of the Durian fruit, said it has a very special peanut butter-like taste. It comes in a round form, unlike the regular Durian, which usually comes in an oval form.
Aka, 32, an Indonesian psychology graduate, explained that the "J-Queen" fruit has these unique characteristics because it is a hybrid of two good types of Durian in Indonesia.
