Road Trip To Malaysia's Best Durian 🇲🇾

If Malaysia is underrated, Kelantan is way more underrated and misunderstood by most people, thanks to the bad publicity deliberately created by the media. The best thing about your travel vlog - Seeing is Believing!

[@HS-di4je]

I just proud as to see most Malaysian can speak in english..even broken english..but at least we can communicate each other and cascade the message through it. Thanks a lot the teacher back then ❤.tq also to u Ken for ur travelling vid..enjoy the diversity here in Malaysia..stay safe😊

[@mohammadshamsuddin9978]

Hi..Ken.. Oil palm fruits , species belong to the date(palm family) . Note the similarities between the fruits..( & the trees. Middle Easterners would be surprised we plant 'dates' too in Malaysia when they see the plantations from afar) 😁 But we extract oil for cooking, not eat them.. Tuak= nira kelapa/ kabung / nipah Nectar from the stem of coconut, kabung , or nipah plant... Becomes alcoholic drink if let to ferment, usually after 3 days or more; the main product in Borneo, generally/mainly among non-muslims .. To be safe (for Muslims), can be called 'air nira' ( nira drink) very sweet, natural sugar , the fresh non-alcoholic version, but you get a bit of the carbonated effect. They throw it away once it becomes alcoholic. That's why the same general name "tuak" applies.. but slight difference during the process.. Product from the same source before becoming alcoholic drink ( must be consumed within two days & must be kept frozen) popular in the east coast states of peninsula malaysia especially during Ramadan.. ( very sweet pure natural sugar without the risks/ or less risks, of acquiring diabetes .) Also the source for 'gula melaka'. gula melaka called 'manisan',(sweetener especially used in desserts and malay 'kueh") , 'nisang' in Pahang, Terengganu & Kelantan, with slight pronunciation variations, according to the local dialects. Not very accurate, but general information... 😊

[@Zeder95]

I'm also German and also travelled to Malaysia last year, and also tried durian. I actually liked the taste, and the smell wasn't as bad as expected. You need to eat it outside then the smell is less strong. You need to also try other southeast asian fruits like rambutan, mangosteen, longan, jackfruit and tarap. They are very delicious 👍

[@yananneteoh9818]

Try Champemdak Imagine the bright yellow Jackfruit from the greenish, fat body. The champedak is long and I slim with similar greenish orange skin. Slide a knife down the middle from top to bottom length of fruit. There 're many long tassels protecting the champedak. Find the fruit inside the sticky tassels. Take it out and you'll find a shiny bright golden orange soft and sticky sweet ball with a gluey texture and a strong fragance. It's delicious. There're about 10 champedaks in a long case. They can also be fried like bananas. This fruit de can only be found in Malaysia, Singapore, Sarawak, Borneo and perhaps Thailand and Vietnam Cambodia and Yunan China.

[@quocodile]

Musang King durian is delicious! And mangosteen is also my favourite fruit :P' We can't get fresh top quality durian like musang king in Australia :(

[@Ducati368]

Dukung and langsat also very nice.

[@azlirazli7500]

2:09 although your tank is almost full, there is still remaining gasoline in the hoss pipe, so the lady channel the hoss again to ensure every drop of gasoline you paid is goes into the tank. They are honest people doing honest business. 14:40 simple trick for you, as long as the seller is malay/muslim, it safe to say whatever food/drink they sell, it's free from any alcohol and 'halal' regardless the name of food could be. 19:20 yes the entire east coast is 90% predominantly malay-muslim majority and they are very very Islamic. But surprisingly, the more Islamic they become, the more tolerance they are towards other religions. Kelantan is the only place you can see many massive Buddhist statues in whole Malaysia! You will see them yourself (the biggest sleeping, standing and sitting Buddha) in few places around Kelantan throughout your journey.

[@swordsman3951]

Ken, you have to try durian a few times, on the third or fourth time your taste buds may all of sudden start to appreciate it😅. That happened to me. I went all d way from hating it to falling in love with it. Now durian is one of my favourite fruits. Im from Eastern Europe btw, not local.

[@KenAbroad]

Will eat it again 💪

[@giannishen]

The scenery there is beautiful and the air feels very fresh! That Zi Xia Cave/紫霞洞 is really special, there is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva/觀世音菩薩 inside! For those who are afraid to eat durian, I would suggest freezing it before eating it, the taste will be better, like eating ice cream, you can try it! Thanks a lot for sharing, great job! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏

The one you drink is tuak nira.. nira is a sap from nipah trees. It is a type of palm trees.. it is fermented. But its alcohol isn't high enough to be considered an alcoholic drink. It's an acquired taste and even I'm a Malaysian could drink it but not too much.. i found your video very pure and genuine interaction. Love seing you experience and we see your expression first hand..

Bro, u r the champion, riding a motorbike from kl to kelantan...but its not too bad if u break it into few days, less tiring. Musang king is the best durian in my opinion, much better than thailand durian...that's why its expensive..each type of durian has its own unique flavor and its an acquired taste, ie the more u eat, the better it gets...have a nice trip

[@EllisWR]

Stunning place ain't it Ken we were there earlier this year had a really nice time unexplored Territory and people are fantastic 🇲🇾

[@filbritfrolics9315]

nice one Ken, we enjoyed our trip there, just arrived back in London in Friday, very nice country, we loved the foods, and the prices of stuff there, it's very good, so much are cheaper than here in England. Tasted the Durian in SG though, I liked it, but my 3 didint hehehe. 🙂Safe travel, and enjoy Malaysia :-)

[@Randomkloud]

tuak in Peninsular malaysia is made from the sap of the coconut tree itself (called nira which the lady seller mentioned to you). Thats why its expensive, because you cant extract too much from the tree at one time. The tuak sold here is only lightly fermented. Alcoholic ones are called toddy. about the durians, when the seller says "durian kampung" which literally means village durian he is referring to durian coming from wild durian trees that aren't cultivated. so the quality and taste of such durian is really a gamble and can have a varying taste. Unlike the cultivated breeds like musang king which produce fruit of consistent quality.

[@DaveYeo]

Hi Ken Great to see that you are having fun in your north eastern trip. You were asking what fruit that you saw lying on the ground...those were not grapes, those were palm fruits.....they make palm oil from those seeds. And many Malaysians that you ask will definitely say that their best durian would have to be Musang King....it's my favourite as well....glad that you finally started to like it, trust me, the taste will grow on you and you will end up loving it. Enjoy....cant wait to see your next video

[@nofayusop82]

Ken, air tuak or air nira is a bit expensive compared to coconut juice...at some places it will cost you RM10/bottle, and some other places the price can be RM5-RM7 per bottle...it's pricy maybe because the way to get the juice (air nira) is very difficult and takes a long time.

[@chaw294]

Oh gosh, another awesome, amazing and breathtakingly beautiful adventure, Ken...stopping at oil palm plantations and enjoying those lush greenery. Oh, nature is indeed beautiful.

Wow Ken, thats great you decided to try durian again...and it's definitely a better experience this time!

[@AlexSDU]

Most gas stations in Malaysia nowadays required you to pay first or else the pump would not start, because the pump is controlled from the pay counter. Chances are the gas station that you went is not fully computerize. My first job after finishing school was a pump attendant in 1997. 14:00 That tuak is not similar to tuak in Sarawak. Tuak in Sarawak is rice wine, made from fermented rice with yeast. This tuak is sap from the coconut tree or nipah tree. The reason it's expensive is because of the process to obtain it. Here's a video on how they get the Nira(coconut sap) to make Tuak: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqHTZ4uKlNWLY8U Gula Melaka(Palm sugar) also came from this. 18:05 My favourite kind of bathroom.😄 You can take shower while taking a dump in the toilet.

Tbh ken, if you wanna experience great moment eating durian, have a try for the highest grade of them eg Musang King, Black Thorn, Red Prawn etc. And fyi the brighter the colour of the durian inside the delicious it will be. And for that, always ask yr seller to make a small cut to check the colours inside.

[@iszulstudios9075]

And you’re right ken, u always need to keep on trying the durian. As for me, it tooks almost 10x times and after awhile im already a bigfan and in the “club”

Ripe durian is a fruit that fermentation has already began which gives it the unique taste and smell. Think of it like sweet blue cheese. It has many different taste, character, depth of it depending on the variety. You can even think of it like dessert wine grapes or winter wine grapes. In fact some of them are alcoholic. The lingering after taste and smell is a problem like eating cheese but fresh coconut juice, lots of water does help to chase it away.

[@adamghaniahmad2991]

*Beautiful video Ken. Best part was the Crumbling Bridge!!! I laughed so hard kah kah kahhh*

[@teresachan5824]

Tuak is fermented sap from the stem of the coconut flower. It tastes slightly alcoholic because of the fermentation.

[@vincentlowchui]

Hi Ken, Musang King is the King of Durian. It is sweet and creamy with a little bitter aftertaste. We Malaysian loves durian and we can eat few fruits per person 😂. After eating, you should drink water from the durian shell to cool down the body as durian is heaty. Glad you are giving it a second/3rd try. It's an acquired taste and if you continue trying, I am sure you will love it.

[@mohammadshamsuddin9978]

Yes.. Durian is the King of Fruits..but then, there's the King among Durians too, Musang King, for now, according to consensus by Durian lovers... But I heard the throne has been challenged by the Black Thorn variety..😮😊

Musang King is rated A globally, and is supposed to be the best and most expensive durian in the world and its origins are in Gua Musang, the place you are in. There is a new variety called Black Thorn which some say is even better quality and taste and is from Penang, in Malaysia. This variety is expected to be the next best durian in the world.

Grade A Musang King yields more flesh inside as it's rounder. Grade B Musang King yields lesser flesh inside as it's not as round/ out of shape hence it's cheaper. These durians travel over 10 hours from places like Bentong & Gua Musang by lorry to Singapore and currently costs around S$25/kg or the equivalent of RM 85/kg in Singapore. So the lorry leaves the plantation early in the morning and arrives at durian stalls in Singapore at around 5pm to 7pm. Your 1.2kg Musang King would have costs over RM100 in Singapore.

Hi Ken! Thank you for sharing your Durian experience in Malaysia, my childhood home. As Malaysians, we were all taught NEVER, NEVER take alcoholic drink BEFORE and AFTER eating Durian because one would surely become very, very sick and risk dying. During the British colonial times, my parents had witnessed British personnels ignoring this warning, ate Durian and then enjoyed themselves with beer and wine. They all suffered from nose bleeds and hemorhaging afterwards. All of them died before arrival in hospital. There incidents of cause and effect occurred repeatedly in history. I'm Not trying to scare you, but one shouldn't take alcohol after Durian. It is a good idea to find out why. I don't have the scientific knowledge or the explanation for it.. Please stay safe and well on your journeys.

I think of Durians as a little like wine tasting. Each type can have a different taste, texture and finish. Definitely worth going with a group so you can taste multiple types. Kampung durians are very different but I am not sure if they differ between areas. There are also of course Thai durians and China has just produced its first small commercial crop. The taste to me is that of mild fermentation which you also often get in Nordic foods

[@az-fy3mp]

very nice of you to treat the old guy in the beginning with respect. if i'm not wrong he probably have some kind of disability. and the grape looking fruit is palm oil fruit. that's where we get palm oil from. many people criticize malaysia for growing this type of oil trees due to impact on wildlife, deforestation etc. well we can't deny that but palm oil is definitely the most efficient edible oil, being 4 to 10 times more output per hectare than all the other oils.

[@hazrinahmad2822]

Those are palm seeds. When i was younger, i would pick the seeds an boil them in salt water and eat the outer skin..very creamy though its quite fibrous. Here in Malaysia, when you fill up the gas, you have to go to whichever pump is available. Tell the cashier which pump you are using and how much, the cashier will set the amount of petrol you purchase into the computer and all you need is just to press the nozzle. The pump is automatically stop based on the amount preset at the counter. Wherever you are in Malaysia, nobody will scam you on prices. Travelling on road trips will give you a chance to interact with the locals. The man at the shop actually ask you how much to travel to German from Malaysia.

Malaysia has the most species of durian Borneo durians you will find red and blue and smaller than the ones you eat, Musang King durian is indeed the best seed origin (raja kunyit) from Kelantan Musang cave , it is very widespread for the Chinese market, that's why it's expensive and Indonesia has started to plant this species of durian because it is better than their Muthong durian.

[@youtiublah]

Nira Nipah is the proper name for the drink. Tuak is a local name for it. Nira is actually nectar from Nipah, a type of palm tree. It taste like fermented juice but it actually non-alcoholic.

[@GoatofGods]

the main difference in paying first in Malaysia is the budget. Some people just want to fill up for example RM 5 worth of petrol but their full tank can go up RM 15 or 20. Just to make sure they stay within their budget and not a cent more, they pay first RM 5. That stops the "machine?" ( i forgot the name for the thing). But if your priority is for a full tank, and you dont mind paying more, and even in extra cents, like RM 6.75 then you fill up first then pay. You can do the same if youre "pro" enough to stop the handle at your desired budget, but to be safe people just pay first.

The red seeds in the video are palm oil fruits. Most of the oil comes from the mesocarp (husk) while a smaller fraction comes from the kernel. There is some slight variation in meaning of Malay words used in different states in Malaysia. In the Peninsular, coconut nectar (nira) is obtained by cutting the coconut inflorescence and collecting the sap that oozes out. If the nectar is fermented, it turns alcoholic and is called tuak. In Sarawak, tuak usually refers to rice wine with about 5%-20% alcohol while its refined form with over 30% alcohol is referred to as langkau.

Ken, so you know, by the time durian ships to Canada, the fresh musang king is selling here for cad $100+. The regular durians (non musang king) sell for $10 per 1/2 kg, so about $50 each. It is crazy expensive for us here.

[@ramnandwani7319]

Ken the way to eat durian is with friends, especially those friends who love durian and while your sharing the durian with you began to ask your self why your friends are enjoying so much the durian while you not so much , then as you are looking at your friends eating and you slowly but surely will began a transformation and suddenly you will discover why durian is called the king of fruits and you will feel like your eating sweetest cream melting in your mouth. Try that next time you eat durian . Never eat durian alone.
