KFC Durian Chicken Nuggets

You can now eat durian chicken nuggets at KFCs in China

In what has been described in ancient sources as one of the harbingers of the apocalypse, KFC China has started selling durian nuggets.

More properly called “Durian Exploding Chicken Nuggets,” the new menu item is your customary chicken nugget but filled with durian paste. It costs 11.50 yuan ($1.60) for a box of four and you can also try them out as part of a snack platter.

The nuggets were introduced last week and since then many customers in China have dared to go to KFC to try them out,posting onto social photos and reviews of their experience.

The general consensus appears to be that the nugs taste pretty good and are not an unholy abomination.

​

Introducing the infamously pungent Southeast Asian fruit into menu items has recently become all the rage in China with Pizza Hut experimenting with three different kinds of durian pizzas and KFC previously offering durian-flavored ice cream.

While the smell may scare some away, others swear by the taste of durian, eagerly devouring them whole after being stopped from taking them inside train stations.

Another reason I say Aussies are not westerners! They are merely fair skinned Asians.

The way we open durians is not the same way as Thais open their durians. Perhaps Froggy can explain.

Darwin residents fear for future water security as underground aquifers run critically low

Residents have been left vulnerable and fearing for their future water security as underground aquifers run critically low in rural Darwin.
Key points:

• Groundwater levels in Berry Springs are at their lowest-ever point
• The aquifer that supplies the area will not begin to fill until monsoon rains begin
• The bore in Southport is expected to run dry imminently

An underground aquifer supplies water to Berry Springs and its surrounds, but after the driest wet season in decades and increased demand in the area, the aquifer has diminished to a record low.
The director for water assessment at the NT Department of Natural Resources, Des Yin Foo, said "the lowest groundwater levels have now been reached and surpassed".
"The system has a certain capacity, and every drop that someone takes out is one less drop that's in the system," he said.
Mr Yin Foo warned water supplies would dry up unless bore users cut back.
"Every drop that you water on your garden is potentially someone else's drinking water," he said.

Overflow from the underground aquifer runs into the Berry Springs Nature Park.
The water level has reached such a critical point that, for the first time ever, the springs within the park have stopped flowing.

Next door, at the Territory Wildlife Park, tough water-saving measures have been introduced in an effort to keep the park open until rains return.
Park director Shael Martin labelled the restrictions "harsh mitigation measures".
"We've closed off any of our flow-through systems in the aquarium," she said.
"We've ceased or minimised irrigation.
"Everything we've done is with a view to maintain visitor amenity and animal welfare."

The nearby community of Southport relies on a communal bore for residents.
The bore is expected to run dry imminently, leaving locals no option but to ship in water at their own expense.
Resident Bruce Lofts said it was unacceptable.
"We're 30 kilometres from a major capital city as the crow flies, and we've got no water," he said.

"Having to cart water for households in the 2000s is just third-world country stuff."
Mr Lofts said residents were now taking extreme measures to get by.
"There's an older lady here in her 70s who can't cart water. She uses 20-litre containers at the bore," he said.

"She has to bathe in a bucket because she doesn't have water."

Residents want reticulated water to the township, or at the very minimum, a guaranteed supply.
'I feel for the residents'
Southport Progress Association president Barry Whalan said the community's elderly residents were suffering most.
Mr Whalan said a Southport resident was taken away in an ambulance earlier in the week, and was worried a lack of water could have been the cause.
"It was because they're not drinking enough water to try and save water, but you can't put your own life at risk," he said.

Monsoon rains are not expected until the end of December, and even when they do come, there are fears the problem will be ongoing.
"If we get a second bad year, where are we going to be at?" Mr Whalan said.
"I am worried. I'm really worried. And I feel for the residents of Southport."
