It’s durian season, and lovers of the fragrant fruit may reasonably expect to be treated to only a delicious surprise when they open the durians, right?
RIGHT???
Well, for one family, this was not the case!
On Tuesday (Jul 19), Mr Jerald Justin Ko, a DJ with Power 98, posted on TikTok of a “Durian Season SURPRISE,” which greeted his mother and the rest of their family when they opened the fruit.
A large healthy-looking worm was nestled inside the durian.

While the surprise elicited laughter from Mr Ko, his mom, still brandishing the knife, made a dismayed face and yelled for both fruit and creature to be taken away.
She can also be seen quickly closing the fruit and rolling it into the orange plastic bag where it came from.
But the DJ, whose TikTok bio reads “irresponsible dad of 2” appeared to not take the incident seriously, instead finding great fun in the “surprise.”
A toddler also makes an appearance in the video, seemingly undisturbed by the worm in the durian.
But some commenters said that the worm’s presence was a sign that the fruit was a good one.
“Worm choose the durian means sure shiok,” one commenter told him.
And when Mr Ko expressed concerns that his family might end up eating worm eggs, netizens assured him that this would not be the case.
Some netizens joked that the worm would give extra protein.
Others were amused to see his family’s reactions.
One woman, however, said that the DJ’s video helped her quit her “durian addiction.”
