So lucky to have arrived in Malaysia during Durian season. Ok who's paying attention, what's my favourite fruit season and while we're at it, what's yours?

[@blardymunggas6884]

Great vlog Steve as always. I actually like Udang merah more than many other variety. I can’t musang king is better. I would say its different. I like the flavor of udang merah more

[@ignatiuschua5268]

The sequence of eating durian varieties should be from sweet to bitter. Usually from cheapest to most expensive.

My Favourite is Black Gold Durain But sad its vert expensive in Singapore 🇸🇬

[@mamadwh1389]

Hi Steve ,, yess udang merah is the good taste durian.. I like it then mustang king.

[@kleew5840]

The thing with durians is that you need to take 2 or 3 variants to really let the diff traits of each durian stands out. So do take black thorn with another durian to relatively enjoy the difference and the individuality. Also freshness esp straight off from tree do emit extra quality like liquorish alkohol taste for example

[@wg.amster3907]

For those who wanted to pack durian to take home, if you are in those Petaling Jaya SS2 Durian store, most of them do have packing services, be it take home or on flight to oversea. To avoid any smell in your car or luggage bag, you may request them to pack it in tetra pack form. They have such packing services.

Hi! Steve, I like Musang King but D24 is my all-time favorite! The taste hits the spot every time😄. D24 used to be the king before Musang King came about. Musang king has a much stronger taste compared with the rest and durian experts advise to eat it last so that it will not overpower the taste of other durian.

[@anaid5387]

The trick I learned when you are having a sit down with a different variety of durians, start with the least bitter and work your way to the most bitter durians. That way, your palette will not be overwhelmed by the durian that is distinctively bitter like black thorn and musang king.

[@zulman4076]

I like D24, Musang King & Black Thorn. These Durians are origin from Pahang state. These durian can easily found in KL or Selangor (during season)… However, few years back during MAHA Agricultural Expo, I tried durian from Penang island; Durian Susu & Durian Daun Hijau. These premium durian tasted so good, milky, creamy and sweet and I must admit that these durian from Penang can easily beat D24 and if it’s not too much even Musang King… The price range way cheaper than Musang King.. I can’t wait for another MAHA Agricultural Expo 2023.

Penang has 4 specialty durian which is loved by the locals a lot. The one you mentioned cheaper durian the name is Red Prawn (locals call it ang heh, reason being is the fruit is orangy in color, it is very creamy and if the tree is old it gets much bitter tinge than sweet). There are other 3 more which are Cuppling (local calls it kapri, white in color. Shape is flat and round.), then there is Green Skin and also Hor Lor (means gourd - long in shape- sweet and sticky). Try this and give your comments next year if you are around Penang. Durian seasons starts from mid may to early july. Black thorn is originated in Penang as well. Feel free to review your experience in Penang.

[@Steve-Owens]

Yes, I understand the grading, the shape also determines how much Durian you will get inside... For your money :o)

[@brynnop2101]

Yes well done. Few people seem to realize that the richest, very best durians are kampung durians. However I am talking about a tiny fraction of the total kampung durian haul each year. If you take 100 kampung durians at random, maybe 30% will be horrible, almost inedible, a further 30% will be pleasant but inferior to even the cheapest of the branded ones, a further 30% will be good quality roughly on a par with the branded durians, a further 9% will be excellent - richer, creamier, and especially far more interesting and varied in flavor than even the expensive brands, and finally.... the 1%.. wow, unforgettable. Problem is in order to get to taste this 1% you have to keep buying a heck of a lot of kampung durian until you finally land it. Paying for an expensive grand is an insurance policy. Every single time will be good, since you (usually!) Know what you are getting, yet at the same time you resign yourself to having no chance of the rare jackpot.

For those trying durian for the 1st time, prepare yourself mentally. Tell yourself you are about to eat creamy vanilla ice-cream with a big dose of whisky and rum. I'll recommend 24D for durian virgins. Once you graduate, go for high quality Black Gold Musang King. It has small seeds and the flesh peels off the seed cleanly. If you like sweeter durian, go for King Red Prawn.

[@pingshenseow1667]

Good…👍

[@Steve-Owens]

Thanks

[@redflamelcd]

Best way I can describe durian is if you like strong flavours then it’s for you. Think blue cheese. I would say D24 is fantastic entry level eating. It’s a good utility durian and it’s good value for money. For me my favourite is still musang king. It just has the roundest flavour, not overly bitter or sweet but extremely pungent with creamy flesh akin to a thick custard. Never start with musang king just like you would never start with a Stilton and finish on a Brie.

[@RainBaha]

The Udang Merah (D175 Red Prawn) is the mildest among the three. Sultan D24 is the king before the Musang D197 came to power 😆

Hi steve the penang durian (simply known as red prawn) which are from balik pulau is famous and superior. I find the balik pulau ones taste more complex with the so called alcoholic taste and super creamy, different than the typical red prawns i buy in the klang valley. I had the chance to go to an orchard in balik pulau area in penang and tried a few fresh durians. One tip to tell the freshness is the stem of the fruit is not dry.

do try some durian kampung if you can find a good durian place. it can be quite cheap and i prefer it to the expensive variety. just one caveat, you will never know what you gonna get taste wise. guess that's part of the fun. 😅

[@Steve-Owens]

What is the translation of Kampung, is there such a word in English.. Sorry to show my ignorance..

[@brynnop2101]

Yes exactly this. Steve please also see my comment below on kampung durians if you can find it. "Kampung" literally means "village", "countryside", "local area away from big city", something like that, quite difficult to translate. But importantly when it comes to durians, it means something like "other" or "miscellaneous" ie all the rest of the durians which are NOT a specific type/grade (such as d24, musang king etc". In other words you don't know what you are going to get until it is opened and it can turn out anywhere from foul to heavenly, the full spectrum

Hi Chandy. II only have one good friend called Chandy from India.. Is it you LOL.. If you like Durian did you see my video from a few years back kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLHmaqpn9SAr8U

[@mohdzaki1089]

It's just a fruit.... come on....nothing to worry about....very good explanation for those who are reluctant to even try

[@Steve-Owens]

Just a fruit.. LOL. I think it is more than just a fruit 😉

[@faizzulkifli2181]

I suggest that you buy durians sold by Malay sellers... because the prices from Chinese shops and Malay shops are quite different.. this is advice from local people

[@Steve-Owens]

Thanks for the tip..

[@oxoelfoxo]

aargh, jealous!

[@stonemarich2008]

how much today musang king price sir steve owens?

[@daryllim4826]

When come to blackthorn, I really dont dare to try again except if I happen to be at balik pulau during the season. I tried once at Penang, obviously it's a fake lousy durian they sold me. I tried twice at ss2, it's the same fake or bad Blackthorn they sold me, n I have a fierce argument with the owner. Musang King on the other hand, have a much stabil quality .

[@Steve-Owens]

It is tricky, there are a lot of fakes around. Luckily Black thorn has a good clue in the name.. ,👍👍 Thanks 🙏

Where I live I only have access to frozen musang king, I’ve tried it multiple times to give it the benefit of the doubt, its very sweet but it has this weirdly unpleasant dry starchy texture as opposed to the normal melt in your mouth creamy texture that other durian have (even frozen), I wonder if this is normal for musang king or just something wrong with the processing.

I grew up in a rubber and durian plantation in Kajang,Selangor D.E and it was D2 and D24 varieties. That was 30 years ago. I honestly haven't tasted the sour profile in them. Creamy, roasted sweetness ,alcoholic scent/pong and a gradual bitterness are very common. There is a big difference in taste depending on its freshness.Enjoy your durian, Steve.

Thank you, you might like my other video then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLHmaqpn9SAr8U. Enjoy

[@lim5959]

My favourite durian is Red Prawn (Udang Merah), much cheaper than Musang King or Black Thorns, yet very good taste (sweet & bitter).

[@Steve-Owens]

I agree, I think I had that some seasons ago.. I will look out for another..

[@lim5959]

@@Steve-Owens good luck to get one genuine Red Prawn 👍 1kg is ranging MYR25-30 at Penang , KL will be higher for sure.
