How did it taste in the Mochi? They probably did something to it so that it doesn't smell. That might also alter the taste too. or it may be the small quantity in the Mochi doesn't amount to the level that we can smell it while the actual fruit contains much larger amount of the element that gives the smell.

I actually tried smelling it. I cant say whether I liked durian or not, because I certainly didnt like the mochi, I couldn't swallow it fast enough to get rid of it. Its like eating marshmellow... Yuk!

I really like mochi, absolutely love the tastes, but cant stand durian, horrible smell, reminds me of stinky tofu here in taiwan. Another interesting fruit is dragon fruit, has anyone tried that?

I might have, as the name sounds familiar. What does it look like?

Is the dragon fruit same as the dragon eye? If it is, then it's dried Lichi, or Leechi (not sure about the spelling).

About the Mochi, did you eat it warm or cold? Some of them should be eaten frozen. But I do admit that I'm not a big fan of Mochi either. It does have this weird texture.

I ate them cold.theres two types , the regular one and the frit one where the rice outer has a fruit taste and is usually coloured.

Oy..... Muy bueno. I love dragonfruit.
火龍果 in Chinese.

It's a red fruit with green "leaves" on the body.
Inside the fruit is flesh, either white or yellow, with small black seeds.
Taste is subtle and thus varies a bit.

Lichi/Leechi/Lychee is completely different. I think you are think about Longan/Longyen. Lychee is red, bumpy and dusty outside with transparent flesh outside. Eat too much and you will cough like hell though, no kidding there. May to July in Guangdong. Long yen is yellow outside but still dusty. still makes you cough like hell. Less sweet but firmer. July to August in Guangdong.

There's a red variety also. The white variety taste sour, the red variety sweet.
