#SHOWBIZ: TVB star Kelly Fu's durian feast in Malaysia: 12 pieces in one go
Sin Chew Daily reported that both actors indulged in local food, with Fu particularly enjoying durians – she apparently ate 12 pieces in one sitting.
Cheung, however, wasn't a fan of the 'king of fruits' and felt rather uncomfortable after tasting just one piece.
The 37-year-old TVB Best Actor shared his relief: "Fortunately, I got to have a delicious bowl of prawn noodles at a small shop."
Fu also spoke about her culinary adventures, saying, "I tried ikan bakar with sambal sauce, as well as patin fish and sambal sauce. It's so fragrant, and it goes really well with rice."
A fan of spicy food, Fu even bought jars of sambal as souvenirs.
The 40-year-old actress described filming D.I.D. 12 as an unforgettable experience.
She praised Cheung's support, especially during intense emotional scenes, and also appreciated him keeping the air conditioning on during hot days on set.
In the series, Cheung plays a brilliant but volatile detective who struggles with Dissociative Identity Disorder, while Fu takes on the role of a criminal psychologist.

Ex-TVB star Lee Lung Kei, 74, embraces 38YO fiancee upon her release from prison
Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei had previously shared his plans to marry his fiancee Chris Wong after her release from prison. Photos: Sin Chew Daily, Chris Wong/Instagram Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei is overjoyed by the release of his 38-year-old fiancee Chris Wong from prison on Monday (July 7). Wong, a Chinese national whose real name is Wang Qingxia, was sentenced to jail by the Shatin Magistrates' Court in June 2024 after pleading guilty to five charges related to overstaying in Hong Kong and forging university certificates to obtain entry permit. She was deported upon her release and entered mainland China via the Shenzhen Bay Immigration Control Point. According to Hong Kong media, Lee, 74, arrived at the immigration hall at 2pm with a bouquet of pink roses in hand. After an hour of waiting, Wong finally appeared, prompting Lee to joyfully call out 'Wife!' before rushing to embrace her. When approached by reporters, Wong stayed silent and hid behind Lee. However, the former TVB star was all smiles as he shared: 'I'm very happy. I've been waiting for a long time. I'll see what she would like to eat and take her out for a meal. I'll make sure she looks beautiful.' Lee, best known for his role as the Jade Emperor in the 1996 drama Journey To The West and its 1998 sequel, had consistently shown support for Wong, even after her arrest. Throughout her time behind bars, the actor wrote her letters every one to two weeks to keep her spirits up. In a previous interview, Lee shared his hopes of marrying Wong and leading a quiet, simple life together after her release – away from the gossip that has followed their romance since they went public in 2020. He reportedly purchased a gold bracelet earlier this year in preparation for their wedding, which is expected to take place sometime this month.
