"2022 World Durian Championships" :~ "Black Thorn Durian" from a 40-year-old durian tree in Malaysia's won the "2022 World Durian Championships" While the more commercially available Musang King varietal seemed like a sure-fire winner, it was the cult favorite "Black Thorn" variant that took home the crown by defeating Musang King and other varieties, and was named "King of Kings" 16 judges evaluated the taste, texture, color and aroma. Taste-wise on black thorn:~ "It truly packs a punch, with dramatic flavor profiles that range from a rich sweet creaminess that segues into a lightly nuanced bitterness and an almost caramel-eques aftertaste that lingers on the palate, truly the winner. At the end, Black Thorn Durian defeated 45 other contestants and classified as the top notch winner

​@@FloraandNote The Black Thorn mother tree in Malaysia originated in Penang, grown from a seed brought back from Thailand who then cultivated and hybridized the variety with a local Malaysian durian. So you could say half of it strain from Thailand descent as well.

We Malaysians love Thai cuisine as well, but it's difficult to find Thai durians in Malaysia. However, after trying them in Thailand, we found the taste to be quite good and suitable for a wider audience. Personally, I think Thai coconut juice is tastier than the one we have in Malaysia. However, taste is subjective, and we all enjoy both Thai and Malaysian food.

[@deis.w]

Definitely agree. As a neutral foreigner, Thai durian is much easier and palatable to eat because it's not as strong. But I can definitely see why many durian lovers prefer Malaysian varieties because it bring more of an "experience". When I tried Thai durian, it felt like just another new exotic fruit. The first time I tried Malaysian durian, I didn't even know what to make of it because it was like nothing I've tried before 😂

It reminds me of 40 years ago when the best durian you could get in Malaysia was Thai durian. That was until we discovered and commercialized our own D24 variety, and now with XO, Musang King, and Black Thorn, we've almost forgotten about Thai durian. and no one importing and sell it here nowdays.

The people who will decide who durian is better are other nationalities, not Malaysians, who say Malaysian durians are better than Thai durians. Only Malaysian people say this, everyone in the world knows that Thai durian is the number 1 in the world.

[@abcdad2729]

It's funny how you say that Thai prefer slightly hard durian is something you should know. Thai durian has everything you want. Do you want hard, soft or mushy up to you

[@techitaintharasupa6443]

As a Thai, I also do like Musang King durian from Malaysia, too. I disagree with you guys that Thailand has less varieties of durian than Malaysia. Monthong durian may be the easiest to grow and it gives a plenty of fruits comparing to the other types of durian. There's a lot more varieties of durian in Thailand (at least 100 if classifying them in details). My father grows durian trees as his hobby after his retirement, 1 or 2 durian tree(s) from each type, and he has around 20 types including Musang King. We found that Monthong is the easiest one to grow and taking care of the tree. They start giving fruits after 3 years of plantation while the others not. We're waiting for Kan-yao, Puang manee, Nok Yip, Kop Chai-nam, Longlap-lae and a lot more durian fruits from our trees.

[@techitaintharasupa6443]

We accept that Thai durians are harvested before they ripe. This is the problem that Thai people blame the farmers as well. But the truth is - the farmers aren't harvest durian fruits themselves. The buyers (especially the Chinese buyers) will come to the farm and harvest the fruits without caring the ripeness. I have many relatives who have durian trees. They always give us durian fruits so I know the real taste of perfectly ripe Thai durian (not overripe ones), it way better than durian that you buy in the market. FYI, Thai people call overripe durian as 'pla-ra' (northeastern Thai and Laos style fermented fish). Not many of Thai people prefer overripe durian while most of the Chinese love them and the westerners who try durian for the first time got overripe ones, too. That's why we always see their funny reaction. My father selected to grow a Musang King durian tree himself hopefully to try perfectly ripe Musang King durian b/c I found only overripe (for me) Musang King in Malaysia and Singapore.

[@aztecna1064]

monthong is hybrid varian same like Musang king but if u take unripe Musang king from tree it will remain unripe then rotten compare to monthong that trew was lab genetics tree that y everything was changed

[@apakansaja8505]

Thai durian normally is plucked from the tree....the taste is a bit bland.....whereas Malaysian durian is let to ripe on the tree and fall naturally to the ground.

[@yuntingtan5855]

My mom eats it with rice too! But the better version is to eat with Pulut! Sticky rice- same like the way Thai mango stick rice combo would work.

[@FloraandNote]

We’re down to try that! Sounds delicious 😋

[@deltahunter2302]

Rice? Never done that, as for us in Kelantan, we prefer sticky rice with coconut milk and fresh bitter durian,well ..most like sweet durian. Come over!..it's durian season now.

[@ishaqhakim8483]

well, i enjoy pulut (sticky rice) durian, and some of my family members have durian with regular white rice. As for me, it's either with sticky rice, or thai fragrant rice at least. Guess it's more enjoyable compared with consuming durians by itself alone.

[@pakngah3715]

Growing up, Ive had durian with rice mixed with some salted water. At that tme, the quality of durians were inconsistent.. buy 5 durians and 4 will have worms, are overripe or have rockhard or tasteless flesh. So eating this way help large low income families to stretch out the meagre quantity of durian flesh. Im told that Kelantanese eat durian or fermented durian with budu (combined with lime juice, sliced chili and onions) as a condiment to a rice meal. Maybe for the same abovementioned reason.

In Malaysia Durian is not just a fruit but a culture, back in the old days in every Malay and also Chinese Kampung there will be a Durian feast when the Durian seasons is coming. I still remember when Durian season came my grandad will sleep for weeks at the Durian orchid to wait for the Durian to fall of the tree and fend of Elephants and Tiger and wild animal from eating it. YES in Malaysia TIGER and ELEPHANTS LOVE DURIAN and especially in the Northern and East Coast state tiger and elephant will come to villagers Durian orchid to steal Durian, they love Durian so much just like the human in Malaysia. When Durian season came every village will have a picnic at the Durian orchard and all relative from all over Malaysia will come back to their hometown and eat so many Durian and Durian based food. Its Durian maniac in Malaysia when the season comes.

I just came back from bangkok, tried Monthong! I am not a regular Durian consumer in Malaysia.. I eat durian outside of its season even though its more expensive coz I cant wait for its Season (usually June - August). 😂 i Agree with you guys.. Monthong is more forgiving to those who wanted to try for the 1st time. It is tasty on its own way, smell doesnt stick on your mouth for too strong and too long.. The taste is similar to a Good Kampung Durian however the texture is totally different.. Some malaysian just arent fair commenting that Monthong are tasteless.. hahaha.. for me, you guys described it best especially Flora and TK. Note seems like he is still digesting and contemplating from the Long argued Malaysia vs Thai Durian.. 😅 But he has a fair point too.. Thanks for the Vid Guys!

We also got another class of durian we call as durian kampung "village durian". It is basically a mixed of different types of durian from our rural areas. Back then no one knows what type of durian they planted, they only know the results once they harvested the fruit. So these unknown type of durian collectively called as "village durian". The price usually cheaper as the quality varies from fruit to fruit. But some of it actually on par with the famous durian variety like XO and musang king.

[@lilimatahari4445]

As a neutral foreigner who tried Malaysian durian first (I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it), I thought durian in Thailand would be the same so I never even thought about touching it. But I did notice that Thai durian doesn't really smell, and last week my family bought a durian while we were in Thailand and to my surprise it was ABSOLUTELY tasty! It was firm but a little soft on the inside and it was very fruity with a taste of 'freshness' (as opposed to Malaysian varieties lacking that refreshing fruity quality, with a taste that feels more fermented and mushy, with an aftertaste which I can only describe as 'onion-y'). I can definitely see how hardcore durian fans might prefer Malaysian varieties because it's more of an acquired taste, since foods that require acquired tastes tend to me more addictive. But like I said, as a neutral who doesn't really eat durian much, I would say the Thai variety is much more palatable.

[@jomontanee]

Crunchy outside soft inside is DA BEST!!! So I know I won’t like Malaysian durian.

[@sirbill443]

Hmon Thing Durian Thailand

[@lynncomel]

Personally I like sweet durians more than the bitter ones so it's a matter of preference or acquired taste. You might want to ask a local Malaysian which variety is sweet with the least bitter taste to get that fruity fresh taste. We do have those. It's definitely good option for newbies. The more bitter taste is for hardcore enthusiasts or adults who prefer bitter coffee. My family love the bitter taste but I always go for the sweet ones if any. Just last night my bro brought back a few varieties and I ate each one but more focused on the sweet ones.😂

[@rohayatirazak2604]

You can smell a Malaysian durian from over 20 metres away, but you can't smell anything even if you put your face in front of a Thai durian. Malaysian durians are picked only after they drop on the floor, but Thai durians are plucked while unripe and never ripen fully. Thai durians are good for absolute beginners who hate the smell of durian. The weak taste and smell will not scare them off serve as an introduction to durians. Malaysian durians are for those who want a delicious fruit.

Probably Thai's durian since when it comes to volume, Thai beat Malaysia by miles. We're talking 94% market domination by Thai. Malaysia simply doesn't produce that much.

[@manalittlesis]

Agree with we can't compare who likes which durian between Malaysian and Thai because we're brought up eating durian different way. And also agree with it's easy for beginners to start with Thai durian before Malaysian durian. As Malaysian I definitely prefer Malaysian durian. It just a simple reason as why Malaysian only harvest when the fruit is ripen because we want it to has the best flavor. About putting durian in refrigerator. Ughhh no please. If I want something refreshing or durian ice cream, I just have an ice cream. My favorite combination of food and durian is durian, steamed rice and fish curry. In my opinion the taste was superb. Sweet and bitter from durian. Spicy and sour from the fish curry.

The most transport friendly feature of Thai durians is harvesting them before ripening. Eating an apple that ripens on a tree is way better than eating apples that ripen in transit. Since Thai durians are first cultivated in Southern Thailand, I can understand why Thais in the Central and Northern regions dont like tree ripened durians. Malaysians, Singaporeans, Indonesians and even some Southern Thais have always eaten tree ripened durians since tree to mouth distance is negligible. Unripe or overripe durians are made into tempoyak. This fermented product is a taste bomb creamer agent in some dishes or condiments. I dont think Thais have tempoyak except the Malay Thais.

you guys were lucky that you went at a time when durian prices are much lower than they were before. at one point (before the Covid pandemic), Musang King was up to RM90++/kg

[@shirleytan8042]

Msia has MK , a special hybrid. It's sweet, creamy and dry, with a small seed. XO is actually D24 but from an old tree. XO has a bit of alcoholic taste. All other variants has bigger seeds than MK.

Welcome back to Malaysia i would recommend you try out the original kunyit durian from the Kelantan state.

[@cheakytoday]

I've never tried it, i do know it smells but the taste is awesone. Will definitely try it when I'm that side.

ที่จริงแล้วทุเรียนไทย(มาเลเซียก็เช่นกัน) เคยมีมากมายหลายร้อยสายพันธุ์ในอดีต แต่ปัจจุบันเกษตรกรนิยมปลูกเฉพาะพันธุ์ที่เป็นที่นิยมตลาดต้องการมากและให้ผลผลิตสูง เช่น หมอนทอง(ปัจจุบันก็เริ่มปลูกมูซานคิงด้วย เพราะเห็นว่าตลาดนิยม) ดังนั้นคนส่วนใหญ่โดยเฉพาะชาวต่างชาติ มักคิดว่า ทุเรียนหมอนทอง เป็นทุเรียนชนิดเดียว ของประเทศไทย ในตลาดปัจจุบัน คุณยังอาจพบทุเรียนพันธุ์ชะนี, ก้านยาว, พวงมณี(จ.จันทบุรี), หลงลับแล-หลินลับแล(จ.อุตรดิตถ์) ได้อีกด้วย และเรื่องการกิน ของไทยก็มีความหลากหลาย กินทั้งแบบดิบ, ห่าม(กึ่งสุกกึ่งดิบ), สุก และปลาร้า(สุกมากจนเนื้อเละ) ส่วนการกินผลไม้กับข้างนั้นเป็นเรื่องปกติ โดยเฉพาะผู้สูงอายุนอกจากทุเรียน เช่น กินข้าวกับมะม่วงสุก, กินข้าวกับแตงโม เป็นต้น นอกจากนี้ในจังหวัดเพชรบูรณ์ ซึ่งขึ้นชื่อ เรื่องมะขามหวาน ผมพบว่ามีผู้สูงอายุ นำมะขามหวานมาแช่น้ำร้อนให้ละลายเป็นซอสมะขาม จิ้มกับข้าวเหนียว แบบเดียวกับการกินข้าวเหนียวจิ้มน้ำพริกด้วยครับ

[@hatibudak3511]

eat the whole seed, scoop everything from the seed while its in your mouth. thats the best way to get full experience or taste of durian. never have a small bite, because it will not have the full bodied...

[@hanisakura84]

To eat with rice, some state add more sweet things. Like palm sugar or just sugar. Some cultures like from Perak, will add salty things, ikan masin, ikan pekasam or just fried fish and chicken. It's a balance between sweet and salty.

[@hadasmiszelowski5186]

As a westerner I’ve never tried durian but this may make me curious enough to try it , also how did you come across TK ? He looks like good fun to have new food experiences with. Love your videos keep going 😀

Should try the hot rice with fried durian mixed with fried anchovies and dried Chilli paste.

[@pakngah3715]

Its a version of lauk tempoyak ikan bilis. My friend dont like the taste of tempoyak, so she eat it your way. I sometime eat fresh durian as a creamy condiment with my rice meal. Quite similar to Pakistanis adding yogurt to their plain rice meals.

[@a.bakarosmn3681]

Nice video.... Monthong also good with thick meat and less smelly... Malaysia clon durian got more than 120 varieties with name starting with D1- D199 ... If you are hardcore durian lover... You should try all of this varieties... Some really hard to find at durian stalls....and Some only can be found once a year...

I'm American and I want to try Durian so much. I am a very adventurous eater and I'm pretty sure that I will like it.

[@jerra_ng]

Totally agree with Flora. I was so disappointed when I first tried Thai durian. I love Thai durian chips but not their fresh durian. It's hard and pretty much taste the same. Suitable for people who never had durian before. Malaysian durians are much more intense in terms of smell and flavour. Soft, creamy bittersweet durian is the way to go. Try black gold, which is a higher tier of MSW. That's my personal favourite.

[@abcdad2729]

The people who will decide who durian is better are other nationalities, not Malaysians, who say Malaysian durians are better than Thai durians. Only Malaysian people say this, everyone in the world knows that Thai durian is the number 1 in the world.

[@jiunnweipoon7686]

@@abcdad2729 Thailand’s durian export is the world’s number one because the China market is very large. It does not mean that Chinese people like to eat Thai durian, because the price of Malaysian blackthorn durian is 10 times that of Thailand’s golden pillow. The fact is that many Chinese have never eaten Malaysian durian.

[@abcdad2729]

[@abcdad2729]

@@jiunnweipoon7686 For example, like the iPhone, if the iPhone is not good Why people around the world are crazy about iPhones more than other brands? It's the same principle. There are many durians, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, but why is Thai durian number 1?

@@abcdad2729 Have you ever seen Singaporeans import Thai durians? Because no one will choose durian from Thailand when they can choose. China is too far away, and it is too difficult to transport durian from Malaysia.

About thai durian, there is not only monthong, there are also chanee, kanyao, poungmanee, kradoom, lin - long, kob, and more. Monthong is just basic. Must try chanee and kangyao for the next level 😁

Still not as good as malaysian

Next time try durian kampung, black thorn and, D14.. i promise its amazing too..

[@munamr9502]

Im from kampung in Kuala Lipis Pahang...it is no brainer, Malaysian durian is way way much better than Thai durian. And for Malaysian durian, for me it is unquestionable the best durian is natural(not farm & cultiivated) durian, for me, the best is durian Kampung or durian Tembaga. The newer, geneticly, farm durian like Musang King, D24 or what ever D cannot come even close. The taste of natural durian Kampung or durian Tembaga is so original, sweet, smells fresh & not fluppy, sponge taste & fertilizer smells like those highly expensive farm durian. That is why when there is a durian Kampung season which comes naturally too and not plan or force the tree to bear fruits like farm durian, many farm durian towkey from Raub come to our Kampung in Kuala Lipis or Jerantut, with their pick up trucks to buy lots of durian Kampung. When we asked why they buy a lot of durian Kampung or whether they want to sell it back to customers, they said no, they buy it just to eat it with their families & friends. It shows even the farm durian towkey also know what durian is for business and what durian is for eating!!

You should try eating durian with chocolate flavoured ice cream. The best combination for desserts.

[@kalashnikov_rifle]

Bang non?

[@Chimchi1]

Malaysian durian is the best hands down. Neat is best. No steamed rice, omg. That's too heavy and the durian becomes side dish.
