German TikToker's dad enjoys durian so much that netizen declares him an 'honorary S'porean'
Someone called it the "most polarising fruit in the world".
But for the father of Singapore-based German TikToker Chiaciek, the durian is "just a normal fruit".
On July 18, the TikToker shared a video of her shirtless dad sitting at a table and enjoying a durian so thoroughly that a netizen commented: "He is now an honorary Singaporean."
After biting off a chunk of the fruit, the TikToker's dad wondered why his family was "looking at him like that".
In the caption, the TikToker, whose real name is Julia Ciaciek, noted that her father said durian was "just a normal fruit".
The video has more than 82,000 views.
Replying to a question in the comments, she said the bought the durian in Bukit Batok where she lives with her Singaporean husband.
Someone else requested: "Can your dad teach my husband, please? He has a dramatic reaction to whenever I eat durian. Ran into the room and hide under the blanket."
The TikToker suggested: "Start with durian cake."
Another commenter said: "Your dad passed the Singaporean test!"
To which the TikToker replied: "Should be part of the citizenship application."
The next day, as if to ratify her father's "honorary Singaporean" status, the TikToker shared a video of him downing a plate of Singapore-style half-boiled egg with soy sauce.
Days earlier, Australian wildlife conservationist and TV personality Robert Irwin posted on social media a video of himself trying durian for the first time and describing it as being like "the most polarising fruit in the world".
While the son of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, insisted he liked the durian, his physical reaction to eating it suggested otherwise.
Perhaps he should've started with durian cake.
