JOHOR BARU: The King of Fruits is on the “menu” this Hungry Ghost Festival.

These paper durians – complete with prickly thorns and stalks – are the latest masterpiece of prayer paraphernalia shop owner Raymond Shieh.

He said it was his first time making durians for the month-long festival, which starts tomorrow.

“A customer who came all the way from Pontian (about 70km from here) asked for a basket of durians for her late father, who used to grow and pick the fruit before he passed away.
