Carr's Durian Adventure

One of Backyard’s latest spots took the crew to Singapore and China, where we shot Minute Maid for BBH with pop star Eason Chan, who has become one of Hong Kong’s most dominant male singers earning multiple ‘Album of the Year’ awards.

Talking to the talent, Eason Chan. Great guy!

But between the filming and sightseeing was a stop to try what is revered in Southeast Asia as the King of Fruits.
Carr makes friends with the Durian vendor

“Durian is the stinkiest fruit alive – smells something like rotten onions that have been overcooked. Most Westerners vomit when they eat it,” says Producer Carr Donald.

Turns out that Carr actually liked it.

Despite the humidity and the 95-degree weather, the Minute Maid shoot went great!

Smiles all around!!
