Tasting the WORLD's SMELLIEST FRUIT (Durian) in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾

In this video I'm exploring Jalan Alor street in Kuala Lumpur. This street is the most famous street food street in KL. Together with my friends ‪@KenAbroad‬ , ‪@LukeDamant‬ and ‪@travelescapesOFFICIAL‬ we will try some great food.
As Malaysia is known for durian fruit I decided to start this food trip with a taste test of this notorious fruit. I found a food stall that sold the Musan King which is one of the most expensive durian varieties. Reviews of durian were mixed 🤣
As I couldn't get enough of the durian I decided to try fried durian which was surprisingly delicious!
After that I had a wagyu stick, not Malaysian but delicious nonetheless.
To end the video I had a mixed platter of satay with peanut sauce. I tried lamb, chicken and beef.
Enjoy watching!

Since I was a child eating durian . We have our own durian trees.... yummy yummy yummy 😋😋😋👍

[@sodabella]

Love it!

[@tlkoon5241]

There are many different types of durian tho. All with different flavours. So you need to do a durian taste test. Also many more different durian based food. The fruit itself, fried and ice cream as you have tried. But there is also the cake and sometimes in pastries. Enjoy guys .

[@zuhrinazamahmad9980]

Good that you guys don't like durian, otherwise the price of the fruit will be higher

[@timtense]

Haha yes, I liked it!

[@greencap8845]

[@SalimahRahman]

Wahhh..Ken was already here 2 or 3 tines he's been here since the 1st lockdown.😊..Ken is from Germany, Tim is from Belgium. Ken is in Singapore now.

[@harieiskandar5096]

Ken abroad is the experts and famous in Malaysia

[@giannishen]

Haha, you also know Ken, he is another great youtuber I have watch every time. I remember he once brought durian mochi for his mother in Germany. He thought it was from Malaysia, but it was actually made in Taiwan! They both like it! The durians there look really delicious, with lots of meat and a very heavy yellow color! To be honest, there are not many people who can accept Durian for the first time! But if people try it the second time, they maybe will love it more and more as you. One good way to eat durian is to freeze it, it will change the taste and like perfume ice cream, this way has been popular for more than 20 years. Tim, you can try it next time! Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely video, wish you all the best. Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏

[@giannishen]

By the way, I suggest that if you want to eat wagyu beef, go to Japan. The price is reasonable and it’s fresher! 👍😁👌

[@zedzizou]

You are in the safe hand with Ken..one of the stranded youtuber during pandemic..kind a malaysian expert

[@AZ-ly5ix]

Omg u r in my country..! Please come to sabah.. u gonna like it here.. 😍😍😍

[@nickloong]

Malaysia produces the best Durians in the world, so what you paid for was a fair price although some might not agree. And Malaysian satay is different from Indonesian satay which uses more herbs and spices for the marinating process. I prefer the Malaysian version more though. 😊

[@decTac]

Agree, Malaysian satay and peanut sauce are rich and delicious, indonesian's quite plain because they dip the meat in soy sauce and roast it..the peanut sauce also plain, not interesting..

[@noorazizan9972]

Agree.. malaysian satay is simple and tempting

[@bambibayhon]

Is that true?we have also lots of durian here in Philippines..in Davao,Mindanao, Philippines is the Durian capital

[@nickloong]

@bambibayhon Do give the Malaysian Musang King Durian a try, and you'll know the difference. It's not about quantity, it's more about the quality of the Malaysian Durians that makes them so popular and sought after.✌️

[@decTac]

@@bambibayhon MALAYSIA's durians are best qualities in the world, Musang King, Black Thorns, Damak King (the new one) and others they were always been under R&D to upgrade these products by the authorities.. Btw, recently Thai's traders smuggled Malaysian's Musang King durians from Raub Durian Orchard, Pahang and renamed them to "Thai Musang King" and exported them to China..see how best are Malaysian's products..✌️

[@hamrabeahkamarun8720]

Just eat it...put it in ur mouth...dont think too much...dont smell it too much....JUST EAT IT...its lovely!!!!!

[@LanzFranchess]

woww ken is here... can, can, can...

[@emman2702]

U made me subscribe when u said its not as bad as people say.and tried n finished the fried durian.durian is one of my fave fruit

[@ruziahabdullatib6322]

Durian is an expensive fruit in the world. We asean people love it soo much. The taste is so precious....durian Malaysia is almost the best...

[@jamaliahmohdjamil7259]

Ken just ate the most fresh and best musang king durian in Gua Musang Kelantan..

[@armcandy1515]

tim, while musang king is the most expensive and the 'best', it has a very strong and pungent taste even for a durian lover like me. i personally prefer the milder ones. Sso for a first timer, the lighter taste kind like the kampung durian may be the better option. there are so many types of durians, my favourite would be the milky and creamy kind and not the bitter kind, i am from Singapore!

[@rajaahmadikramrajaothman4254]

Ken has been in and out of Malaysia many times. He should have been able to advise you on the durian fruit.

[@kratos8873]

Nice! Lots of fun watching you guys 👍 New sub right here

[@AndrewMage]

Food can truly make people come together.... & durian is king in that!

[@hafizhafiz4497]

Once you already know how to eat durians you’ll love it

[@noraayumustari692]

durian is like either u go crazily love for it or deeply hating it. there's no in between.

[@stellaryaluna5388]

I didn't know you are friend with Ken. No wonder your videos appeared on my suggestion. I'm subscribing you now (sorry though, im late).

[@hamrabeahkamarun8720]

oooh...i just love durian...d taste the smell everything about durian...my fav...

[@sonyxperia.l2e374]

Welcome back KEN,

[@shamsiahishak427]

I'm happy if i can eat it everyday... love it so much😋

[@aircommandslipperz]

there are many types of durian..and musang king is among the most expensives..another one is black thorn...

[@komoipower]

a lot of variety the Durian has with another level of taste, smell and texture. recommended to tried the Original Kampung variety

[@decTac]

Interesting video with 4 musketeers collaborations..👍 If you try eating durian for the first time please try the mild one like durian kampong or less smells one.. Musang King is Malaysian masterpiece.. nothing compares.. Btw, if you wanna eat satay please find authentic Malay satay which can be found in Kampong Baru, Chow Kit Road, Keramat and Ampang.. the taste are different and the best.. when you eat satay and their accessories like rice cube (nasi impit), cucumber and onions they are supposed to be dipped in the peanut sauce first 😋😁

[@dzuenurain6629]

Love seeing them all here in this video. Take care guys. Welcome to Malaysia your second home.

[@Zichoe]

woah 4 big youtubers here, with a combined 1.5 million subs there

[@saywhatyouwant888]

Hi Tim , I've been following you for quite a while, and l must say ,you're a very, very polite person, aka vlogger .keep up dear ,take care, and with love ❤

[@TranquillityInFlames]

Ken is everywhere

[@dinaradami4351]

Hi! Tim, eat the durian with an open mind. Don't listen to comments made by others. I love them but cannot eat too much of it or you will feel feverish. To rid the smell pour clean water on the skin and wash your hand with it. Try it.

[@putihputih5447]

Actually durian is king fruit 😂 but not everybody likes it 😢 have great day Tim😋

[@norhaslinahasan4912]

Durian smells and tastes good

[@dazzlinghands9883]

congrats tim! u r now a king. durian is our king of fruits here. once u get hang of it.. u'll luv it... 😂

[@miss_ila4704]

I really enjoy watching ur video

[@maccomik_VR]

That fried durian 😋

[@kylek2623]

Don't try Durian.. you will become addicted to Durian after you eat it 😂😂😂.. You have met Ken Abroad. He was stuck in Malaysia for many months during the pandemic.. so he knows more about Malaysia.. Try Ramly Burger at the end of Jalan Alor..

[@ligeringspirit1133]

Like uncle roger once said Durian is a fruit smell bad outside delicious content on the inside

[@hamimahvirmani5790]

Oh wow...missed Durian so much!!❤❤❤

[@ramlihamid32]

Hahaha...you guys making me laugh...Durian is the King of Fruit in Malaysia...Enjoy it...😂

[@felesiaawang705]

Ken your back

[@azmahphsb6106]

Gud try, please try cendol durian, durian crepe, lots of durian product here in malaysia

[@JackTheLegend825]

Its not about the smell it's about the ✨TASTE✨

[@romyhamid1888]

You went with 3 white guys to try and Ken? Bad idea bro. Should be with a local. We know how to remove the smell from the hand and enjoy the fruit!!!

[@baarighrasugh2389]

Durian can warm the body. It is recommended to drink water after eating durian because it can make you thirsty. Especially for those from the west, who are not used to the hot weather in Malaysia

[@aidabalqis4764]

I think I have to make it clear on how you try to order in Malaysia's market 😂 At the wangyu place he said "1 (piece) = 25 ringgit" so people can be a bit confused we tend to omit some words and simplify our sentence hahahah but its good thing you always ask first before you feel like being scammed and I'm impressed that the Durian quickly grew in you 🤣 just a fun fact that Malaysia use Durian in a dish too named Tempoyak and a dessert called Serawa Durian, a type of sauce/gravy which we eat with or without bread I hope you have a nice stay here in Malaysia really love your videos and reactions to our culture and food ❤

[@lemanmohammad]

Hi guys, this durian smell like hell but taste like haven. 😂

[@cookeryforbeginners1960]

Have tried once.not bad but not a fan of it .but that fried thing you ate looks yummy.nice video ☺️

[@floren879]

Awesome 👏

[@cptjohn7]

Waahhhh…kenn!!!

[@zaitihamdan9498]

Welcome to Malaysia, jalan-jalan Cari makan 😁

[@hamrabeahkamarun8720]

Durian ice cream, durian with coconut milk n sticky rice...hmmmm all nice..

[@dclifestyle8389]

We love durian lovers. We can't wait to try the Malaysia durian. At 1st we hated it but now we love it. One has to appreciate the taste.

[@aceadha]

Oh man... i need durian right now!

[@maliththasandaruwan4749]

My favourite fruit...Tim.. 😋😋

[@BLU3D4Y]

Best way to lessen the pungency is to put it in a tupperware & shove in the refrigerator/chiller for a day or two. You can then enjoy it as while imagine it as a 100% natural Durian ice-cream

[@dmdsjayathilaka5545]

Durian is my favorite fruit .

[@mohdfaiz6856]

Sometimes you meet someone at the stall, it's not a 🇲🇾 person but a foreign worker from various countries.😆that's why this 🇲🇾 is unique for everyone!😎👍

[@Damalatorian]

Bro, I came from starting to think it tasted like union and old milk to spending about 500$ on durians this vacation and I love it now! It's wierd how good it is when you get used to it. The ice cream were AMAZING! I saw that they had Durian icecream in Thailand but I didn't get it.. when going back home we stopped in Thailand again and I had a mission to try it -and I did... it was AMAZING! :D

[@janetkhoo5810]

Awwwww,so many of you examine n study the durian on the table 😅,I dun think you guys fancy it except Ken,well,shouldn’t be a problem,at least you have tasted it.

[@lissaash6439]

Most Malaysian are fond of durian. I am fond of musang king😘 You can adapt with the smell of durian that's a good sign - you can eat everything related to durian. Delicious satay Malaysian with sambal kacang/peanut. Haha...I also like to drink satay peanut sauce-very tasty.

[@randomrandom4050]

omg respect for you for eat durian!

[@aceadha]

Hey Tim! New subscriber here! Enjoy the food there😊

[@joejoe9979]

Actually the first time try durian you will hate it. But after few time its will build up the smell getting better and slowly you will love it like crazy 🤣🤣🤣

[@reezn9638]

Just try to eat it afew times, it takes time to love durian haha. Note: i once hated durian but now a fan!

[@noraarahman]

The king of fruit "Durian " Enjoy your durian day 😂

[@rexhosh]

I love durian and welcome to malaysia ❤

[@stewart-oj6qw]

If you have the chance to come back to malaysia. I can drive you around Klang Valley to eat Kajang Satay Hj Samuri, Bak Kut Teh in Klang and Village Park Nasi Lemak..

[@rakamu2940]

Every type of durian have different taste, n different texture during early season, mid n end. I like durian kampung more n have it fresh after it just fell from the tree...
