FIRST TIME Trying DURIAN in THAILAND 🇹🇭 Or Tor Kor Premium Food Market

This is my first time trying Durian in Thailand at the Bangkok Or Tor Kor premium food market. I’ve been putting off trying, or even smelling, Durian fruit since I arrived in Thailand 2 months ago. I wanted to capture the experience on camera, so here we go. Will I hate it? Will I love it? What is Or Tor Kor premium fruit market? Or Tor Kok is hidden gem of a fresh fruit market located across the street from the world famous Chatuchak market. Join me for more street food and another little known market tour here in Bangkok, Thailand. Let's eat!
I recently moved to Thailand and am begining to roam the country while documenting my travels here on KZbin. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

Durian is like cheese in western food. The taste and smell will differ depending on the species and place of manufacture. For those who have never tried durian Try eating Mon Thong varieties that are not too ripe. The texture is not messy, it doesn't have a strong smell. Alternatively, try the durian crisps that look like potato chips but taste great.

[@LifewithSerg]

Great info. Will try those chips.

[@cxxx9756]

I'm glad you like durian. it didn't smell bad 'cause it was not fully ripe. unlike malaysian, thai like to have durian this way (many thai even prefer a crunchy outside and soft inside texture). when it's really ripe, the smell and taste are much stronger with bitter taste. the texture also becomes very sloppy. please try different varieties (you had montong) since each has its own taste and you may even like it more.

[@LifewithSerg]

I will have to do that. I really liked it.

[@nataek8052]

That right 👍

[@surejan7321]

10:08 that's mangosteen, one of the most delicious fruits! You have to try it next time.

[@LifewithSerg]

I’ve actually had them before. Just don’t recognize it. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@jomontanee]

Dear Serg, if you want better quality beef you can go to VILLA SUPERMARKET. I am a beef lover. It is a bit difficult to find beef in Thailand because many Thais are “Chinese Buddhism” worshippers who don’t eat meat to purify their souls (good karma or something). I say Chinese Buddhism because the authentic Buddhism doesn’t deny beef. Villa supermarket beef has tender and sweeter quality than any supermarkets.

[@LifewithSerg]

Ooooh. Good to know. I will have to go. I actually need to find a good steal restaurant to take a friend.

[@lizreeves8654]

I love the smell of durian. Someone should invent a durian scented air freshener 🥰

[@LifewithSerg]

Ha ha ha. That would be funny.

[@PommeNarin]

That thick brown sauce was supposed to be poured (by the vendor as it's the default sauce) onto all the red pork and crispy pork. The black sauce is considered as dipping one. Although it's a dipping sauce, but here we don't dip pork pieces into it. Instead we slightly pour it on top of that thick brown sauce on all those pork slices. :) Really happy that you like durian.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, I asked them not to pour the sauce on top that’s why he gave it to me on the side. I’m trying to minimize some of the sauces in my foods. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend this market

[@nuttsrisukplung1318]

The first menu you eat It's red pork rice. and crispy pork rice In fact, for gravy you have to pour it over rice and mix it together. The sauce is made from the water used to marinate the red pork, which is boiled and cooked with flour to thicken it. And if it tastes too sweet The shop has a black sauce made from dark soy sauce, chili and vinegar. The black sauce has chili but not spicy at all because it's pickled chili. It will be sour, making this menu less sweet. and keep it from drying out. You're very lucky to try the perfectly ripe durian. Most foreigners who try durians for the first time and then come across durians that overripe, it becomes so messy and stinky that they hate it. Really, durian that is too overripe, Thai people like to use it as a dessert. And I want you to try to visit the largest wholesale fruit and vegetable market in Thailand, located in Rangsit, Bangkok. The market is called Si Mum Muang Market and Talad Tai. It is the largest fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Thailand. It is an exporter of fruits and vegetables for sale all over the country. From the farm to these two markets And from these two markets, they are sent to markets and fruit and vegetable shops across the country. You will find a warehouse that separates the products into categories. such as banana warehouses, watermelon warehouses, durian warehouses, and you can buy them at very cheap prices. Especially bought on a farmer's car that brought vegetables from the farm to sell.😁😁🙏🙏

[@LifewithSerg]

Thank you for all of that information. I really appreciate it.

[@americaninthailand8760]

You really know food! Cool!

[@nuttsrisukplung1318]

@@americaninthailand8760 I'm Thai 🤣 My occupation is tattoo artist, videographer. And I used to be an assistant chef in a 5 star hotel. Cook Thai, Chinese and European food. So I had to learn the history, how to do it, and definitely be able to do it. And I love to ride my motorcycle with my MC club around my country. So I know good restaurants all over the country.😁😁🙏🙏

[@cheewana.7343]

Usually when people said they really hate durian is because they get a very ripe one. Not every Thai people could eat that in fact we use the very ripe one to make some sweet. The one you got in the video look really fantastic and high quality. you're lucky that you got a perfect piece of durian for your 1st try or else you would hate it.

[@LifewithSerg]

And that’s why I picked this market. I knew that it has premium fruit. But I was surprised that the durian was quite tasty.

[@TheThaiLife]

Haha nice. Durian becomes so addictive. Welcome to the fold :). Great video.

[@LifewithSerg]

I was really expecting a horrible smell from everything I’ve heard. Now I’m just really confused because it was quite delicious.

[@jomontanee]

@@LifewithSerg Because other Farangs just bought the ripen durians. They have mushy and smelly texture.

[@TheThaiLife]

@@LifewithSerg The horrible smell only comes if you leave it inside the car or the house and come back. Lol. It really fills a room :). Also, many people die every year here from drinking hard alcohol while eating durian. I guess the two don’t mix, just FYI. Quite a few Thai people have told me that. I recommend if you have a truck, keep the durian in the back. Or triple bag it if it’s in the refrigerator. But of course the best thing, just eat it right away. Super delicious. I’m really happy to see you having the full Thailand experience. Many foreigners are chicken to do everything, you’re not. I love that.

[@TheThaiLife]

@@jomontanee Those are my favorite kind 🤣

[@kevinp8108]

MICKEY STOTCH, a Thailand KZbinr, said vendors at food markets are very uncomfortable when they see a foreigner with a video camera filming them. He said the best way to break the ice with the vendors is to interact with them, purchase from them and carry food bags from your purchases from the food market or night market. This shows the vendors that you're there to buy, not to judge them.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes I’ve watched many of his videos, he she’s great content. I’ve not had any problems at any of the markets. No one has ever asked me not to record a so often ask them if I can record first.

[@larry-notthecableguy]

The green big shrimp is lobster. The black fruit is mangosteen. Very tasty fruit.

[@LifewithSerg]

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know.

[@jomontanee]

Serg!! You went to the brutal territory very few Farangs dare to cross. 🤣🤣🤣 Many who complained about mushy texture because they bought the ripen one. And bad taste came from cheap durians. Good durians must be crunchy outside and soft inside. So creamy and rich.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah it was delicious. I will have to try another type.

[@honeyp8470]

The satay pork that you’ve tried is my son’s favorite. He eats the satay pork from this shop every week and never been bored😂.

[@LifewithSerg]

It was so delicious! I will definitely have to coke back for more.

Durian can be strong smell and sweet and deep bitter in Our neighbor country but in Thailand our tradition is eating it in the right time, I recommend you to try our Durian menu like Durian ice cream in Swensen or Durian with Sticky rice in coconut milk

[@LifewithSerg]

Oh ok. I will have to try that.

[@jellis7042]

[@sun_s9067]

From how your durian looks and for that price, I think you bought a good durian variety, either Mon Thong or Karn Yao, and its not too overriped These are good ones that are less smelly and tasty 👍🏻 You should try mongosteen. Its like a yin yang with durian, to cancel out the heat from eating durian. Aor Tor Kor is a fresh market frequented by people with higher income as its cleaner than normal fresh market, high quality fresh produces and pricier.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. It was an expensive market. But good quality items.

[@sun_s9067]

Hi. The red sauce is for putting on top of the red pork rice like gravy on mashed potatoes. About Durian, unlike most people from the west, you probably have the gene to accept the smell and taste of Durian like most people here. It's really not easy to find someone from the west like Durian on the first try. Thanks for the nice VDO.

That was spiny lobster you were comparing with your hand, very good eating. The dark purplish fruit is Mangkhud (mangosteen), very good tasting. There is a thick outer skin that is very bitter so you don’t eat that but you eat the white fleshy part in the middle. I’ve been living here, spending time in Krung Thep and in the countryside, for 2 years and you have been to much more places in Krung Thep than I have, got to visit some of those places.

When you eat red pork with rice, you have to pour red sauce over the rice along with a little black sauce. Mix together and eat.

[@glassygamer]

It seems all Farangs who try Durian at Or Tor Kor like it ... which makes sense because Or Tor Kor has mainly top quality Monthong for sale. The other Farangs whose first experience of Durian is a random Durian off the street will mostly hate it ... cause they tend to get extremely ripe cheap version (which are super smelly). Such a pity as they will tend to never try Durian again. Anyways, if someone is reading this and want to try Durian, make sure your first experience is a high quality Monthong that isn't too ripe. The scent will not be too overpowering.

[@LifewithSerg]

I will have to try the cheaper street variety. Honestly, I was really surprised when I tried it at that market because it’s melt like nothing and it had a great taste. It’s just like if somebody tries sushi for the first time and you take them to a really crappy place, they might never like it either.

Hi serg, I love your videos a lot🌟 If I have the opportunity in the near future, I would for sure visit the places in thailand. Right now I’m thinking to move to another country(in 2á3 years),but find it difficult to choose a place. I like thailand, Bali and some western countries. I would love it if you could share more about thailand. What do the locals do in weekends? How do thai people look at foreigners, what kind of mindset do they have? How are the people there in general... How has your experience been so far in thailand? What kind of activity can you do in thailand? Are you planning to learn the language? How do you feel, to be there for 2 months? Are most places safe? Do you know where most of the foreigner live? Could you maybe show in your videos some National parks that they have and how it looks? Which places in thailand is clean, like no garbage on street ect. What kind of treasures does thailand have beside tourists spots? Maybe you can do a Q&A? What is your life purpose and passions? I like your adventures and keep on exploring new things!✨ Keep it up💪🏼🙏🏽 Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Thank you so much for your support. I’ve answered most of those questions in my other videos. You have so many questions that it’s very difficult for me to answer them for you.

It was delicious. I was happily surprised.

[@robertw8666]

Serg, you haven't lived until you have eaten mangosteen. It is ugly to look at but so pretty when you open it. I do wish we would have it available here in the USA.

[@LifewithSerg]

You know Robert, I think I’ve actually tried it before. I just didn’t realize that’s what it looks like.

[@mongtkb]

6:58 if you got a perfect durian, the smell and taste will be totally different compared to a little under-ripe and little over-ripe durian 10:07 you should try it. it has a sweet taste. just crush the thick skin and eat the flesh inside, be careful of the seed since you ate the King of Fruits, you should try the Queen of Fruits

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes this drain was quite delicious and had no smell at all. I was really surprised because I heard all the stories of how stinky it can be. I will definitely try the queen of fruits soon.

[@mydream3236]

For durian. Pls upgrade to Chanee (ชะนี ) . It stronger taste and also strong smell.

[@LifewithSerg]

Ha ha. Ok I will try.

Durian " Smells Like Hell Taste Like Heaven" Hope you will love it. Serg.

Go to the Thai market or Si Mum Muang market. Where you can find cheap durian and many other fruits.

[@LifewithSerg]

I will have to go check it out

[@suarsivapong9311]

@@LifewithSerg Wholesale markets, vegetables and fruits from all over Thailand will be gathered at 3 markets: Talad Tai market, Si Mum Muang market , and Market Si Muang market in Ratchaburi.

Thanks for those tips! I really appreciate it when I get recommendations from locals.

[@sumetn21]

Thank you for the nice clip about Thailand. ❤️ Glad you like Thai Durian (it's different from Durians in many countries.) and now you know why Thai Durian is #1 Durian in China. 😉 However, please be informed not eating Durian with any alcohol drink such as beer because the combination will become toxic and be able to kill people. 😰 Sorry if you already know this information, I didn't see you warn people about it in your clip. 🤓 Thank you again and please take care, 🙏

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes durian is delicious. I didn’t say anything about drinking alcohol with Durian because that’s absolutely not true. It is a myth. It can make people sick, but it will not kill you. I am happy you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your support.

[@thekoshertourist]

I've been over 7 months and still haven't tried Durian yet. Not because I couldn't get, my buddy offered it to me a few times. I heard its the season now, so hopefully soon I'll try. Also been told it doesn't always snell. I've definitely smelled it before, not terrible but not pleasant either.

[@LifewithSerg]

The market I won’t to is known for premium fruit. If you’re near this market, go try it there.

[@thekoshertourist]

@@LifewithSerg thanks for the tip 👍🏿

[@miyakiakoki9389]

Some fruits or meat products are expensive as they are imported.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes, there was definitely quite a few products of this market they were imported and that’s the reason they were expensive. I just thought it woken be a super interesting market to show everyone.

[@philliphwee4966]

Thanks for another good tour, Serg. Durian is certainly an acquired taste; durian ice cream is yummy. I’m glad you had a nice and delicious experience with durian on your very first try. If you plan to live in Thailand awhile, you may want to attend a Thai language school and learn some Thai. You’ll likely meet new friends in school. And if you decide to learn Thai at a school, you may want to do an information video on how you went about choosing the school and show us your experience.

[@LifewithSerg]

Hello Philip, I absolutely need to work on learning more Thai. English is not my native language (born in Russia and moved to America when I was 9), so I’m confident that I’ll be able to learn Thai as well. Probably not Newley as good as my English though. Lol

[@philliphwee4966]

@@LifewithSerg You look more Thai to me than Russian. (I think Thai and Russian are two of the most difficult languages to learn and master. English is probably the easiest to learn.) I think you learning Thai will vastly enrich your life during your stay in Thailand. The Thai language schools also teach students about Thai culture, which one must learn to appreciate in order to have an enriching and harmonious life in Thailand.

[@majorkade]

Food will always bring people together?! Ever heard of a food fight? 😆 🤣 I was in Or Tor Kor two weeks ago. Ate the prepared food and two types of durian. Have tried six varieties this trip!

[@LifewithSerg]

That is a really cool market, don’t you think? I just need to try some other types of durian.

[@majorkade]

@@LifewithSerg Go to Iconsiam. You can get about three or four more types there. I will be at a rooftop bar next week if you want to get together. Have been to five so far this trip. Will be returning to Asheville, NC on June 20th. I lived in Bangkok for a few years. Good luck on your journey!

[@majorkade]

@@LifewithSerg Yes, great market. I could eat there every day! 😆

[@stevenlauteikping3340]

We called it the BBQ pork. Not red pork. The other one is the roast pork.

[@LifewithSerg]

Both were soooo good!

[@tidachalerm2062]

Try mangosteen fruit. You"ll like that.

I will definitely have to try it.

Creamy and Sweet that what indeed Durian is, Unripe are less smell but also less sweet and too ripe are more sweet but more smelly. Some country like it overripe, but us Thai like it not too ripe this way
