The durian can be found from sellers on the street throughout the nation, and evokes either love or hate from those who try it. Durians have approximately 800-1200 calories per fruit, are high in fat, vitamin C, Potassium, Fiber, Vitamin B-6, Magnesium, and are healthy when enjoyed in moderation.
In SS2, a short taxi from the Taman Bahagia LRT outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, there is a little piece of heaven, an all you can eat durian buffet. Simply do what I did and tell the taxi "I want to eat durian, SS2, and he will for sure know the place. Contact # 018 234 5619 if lost.
15 ringgit (5 USD) gets you all you can eat durian, of average quality. If you want prime quality durian, you should order by the kilo and try some premium varieties such as Maoshan Wang (Fox King), XO, or D24.

HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!

Love from Bangladesh... 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@zerzerx8759]

Durian is like the most unique and delicious fruit in the world. As a Malaysian, our family gets crazy when it comes to Durian Season!! We eat it like everyday!

[@thefoodranger]

+Zerzer X I love it!!

[@zerzerx8759]

***** Glad you love it!

[@lillmango]

Hey Trevor, I've watched nearly all your videos now and even though it's probably best for me to leave this comment under one of your eating in China videos, I just want to say how much your videos have actually changed me and my view towards Chinese food. Growing up as a Chinese-born-Australian, I've never had the same appreciation for my Chinese heritage. I never liked the food as much or the culture. As I've grown up, I've made efforts to appreciate it a bit more but it's always been a struggle, especially when it comes to food (which I've realised now is a huge part of Chinese culture, especially since people like my grandma would ask, "have you eaten?" as a way of saying, "how are you?"). Watching your videos and seeing how enthusiastic you are about Chinese food has actually made me enjoy Chinese food a lot more and by extension, my Chinese heritage a bit more. Your videos and genuine enjoyment of different types of food has actually changed me into a more open and more grateful person. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work! What you're doing is life-changing!

[@thefoodranger]

+lillmango Hey man! I'm so happy that you enjoy my videos and that I have made you appreciate Chinese food more, I'm truly grateful for your comment and really appreciate that you took the time to write me this comment and let me know what you think about my videos and I'm even more happy that you got something out of them. Thank you so much.

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

That's great that these videos have let you appreciate your heritage more. It should give one pause to consider why one was ashamed of one's culture in the first place (I went through a similar process and began to realize how wonderful Asia is through the films of directors like Kurosawa and Tsui Hark)

[@notanotherreviewer.]

I'm so tired of Durian discrimination, it is a problem that affects literally dozens of fruits every single year. Let's stop the durian victimization: #DurianEquality

[@thefoodranger]

You got it man! We need equality!

[@rindi90]

long live #durianequality

[@stanthechanman]

#YesAllDurians because durians are the king of fruits.

[@muhamadharnikarifhan7235]

this comment ..made my day..well done sir..

[@bookknight]

[@liedABOUTmyAGE]

5:27 "If you don't like durian, what's wrong with you?"

[@逆行者-c9t]

because they never try fresh, self ripening durian in Malaysia, may be they ate non-fresh, man-ripening imported thai durian

[@QiaraIris]

"If you don't like durian, what's wrong with you???. It's like saying you don't like chocolate!" TRUTH!!

[@wimnursal3357]

yeah..noted that as well..hahah. that's the best expression for questioning those durian haters.

[@damonf9475]

except chocolate looks like sh1t but doesn't smell like sh1t

[@Snofuzz]

DIdn't realized there were many varieties of durian and that fox one made my mouth water, damn.

[@afiqsyazwi4048]

Snofuzz Its the best durian!! You have to try it.

[@hiblackie2340]

Mouthwatering!!!Durian is considered king of fruit in Asia. Miss eating it so much!

[@thefoodranger]

+Hiblackie Yes, I love Durian so much! Glad you think so too!

[@Monkeyabroad]

Hey Food Ranger, I can't believe I just found your channel! Your videos are great, dude. I also make videos about Asian foods and street foods, including the legendary durian--which I also enjoy. Keep it up, man!

[@thefoodranger]

[@fab9872]

[@andyfongsamouth4754]

OMG I love Durian!! I put mine in the freezer for a little so that it taste like Durian frozen custard. So delicious. Glad to encounter another Durian fanatic like me. Keep those videos coming. Love it all and big thanks for what you doing. Wish we had a opportunity to do what you do. :)

[@thefoodranger]

+Andy Fongsamouth Hey Andy! Glad you love durian too! haha I'm replying super late! Hope you're doing well man!

[@sissawi606]

I love your show man. Keep it up!!

[@markrangel6643]

You seem to invest alot in this show and you are crazy factual about it! Love it keep it up!

[@denkaj]

Trevor - I began travelling in China (and Asia) in 1982. 6 3 week trips per year. I always avoided Durian, but a Malay friend convinced me to tour the planations on the East Coast of Malaysia one weekend. I really enjoyed it - so much that a Malaysian Chinese almost caused a car wreck when he saw a "round-eye" sitting by the side of a road eating durian that was being sold out of a pickup truck. Only once could I find a golden pillow back then.

[@thefoodranger]

WOW, cool story! That must have been nice to try that golden pillow!

[@GJLivingOrganic]

Great durain video!! Impressive Mandarin too.

[@pennhurstboy]

Gosh I love your job!!! Wish I could eat those Durian with you!!!

[@choilengjoy]

Oh! I miss Durian so much.

[@thefoodranger]

+Choi Leng Yeah me too! mmmm I really want one right now!

[@Janniedaye]

I love durian a lot

[@sahoang8240]

Durians , the best fruit in the world . I really love to eat .

[@chenglamleow8661]

When durians season came, there are many different types of durians in Malaysia. I like most is Red Prawn, Musang King and D24. I like the way you eat it, creamy and stinky good.

[@travelalone7925]

i love durian... super duper yummy...

[@wendiland]

So glad you did a video on comparing durians. :D durian is soo good for you too!

[@thefoodranger]

+Wendi Phan Yes Wendi, it's so so good and tasty! mmm, actually I think I will go get one right now, haha!! Cheers!

[@rxariaelin]

My mom and I love durian! She was amazed you love it, being not Asian lol

[@jqlaeu]

It's durian season now in Malaysia~ durian feast everyday yayyyy 💖 hahaha

[@samlee9595]

Hey Trevor! I'm from Singapore and great to see you love these durians like I do! Durians in Malaysia are simply the best! Those that you find in foreign countries chinatown are lower than average. Mostly from thailand. Hope to see more videos of you enjoying food in south-east asia!! I believe you'll love it! Cheers!

[@thefoodranger]

+Sam Lee Hey Sam! Yeah, durians are the best thing in the world! haha! I love love love durian! I really want to have a durian party one day! lol

[@bigdaddylee8019]

[@benjaminfranzblau6090]

I too share your passion and justice for durian.

[@ariend6472]

i love durian!!!

[@thefoodranger]

Me too Arie! Ssoooo good!

[@fairfiifoufum]

Hey food ranger, durian is awesome and you love it! When I was in the UK, I ate durian sweet and most of them couldn't resist the smell. Guess they have no idea how the actual fruit taste.. Awesome video!

[@thefoodranger]

fairfiifoufum Hey thanks so much, I'm happy to hear that you also love Durian! Best fruit in the world!

[@xXalaXx7]

Trevor you really deserve your own tv channel :). Real good, quality stuff dude. You deserve much more subscribers (at least a million!)

[@thefoodranger]

+xXalaXx7 Thank you very much!!

[@foodiesteve8121]

Try putting durian in the freezer for ice cream, really tasty with the cold element

[@nhbilly]

I need to go here. I hated it growing up but have grown to enjoy it.

[@gregstaubin4021]

Iagree with you Trevor, how can you not like Durian !!!! It is my favourite fruit.soooo creamy and sweet it is delicious

[@anubisorgir]

You have an awesome thing going man, I've seen the Durian before but this is the first time in my life that I felt like I had to try it.

[@bonniebranch6083]

Trevor, thank you so much for these videos! You have the sweetest spirit and most pleasant demeanor. My dad is from Guang Dong, but we did not spend much time together growing up so I have always wanted to learn more about Chinese food from different provinces and your videos allow me to do just that! So thank you and I appreciate all the work and hunger/eating that goes into your videos ;) Much better than food network haha.

[@thefoodranger]

Bonnie Belle Branch hahaha thanks so much Bonnie!

[@alaiosai546]

I have never tried. Your video is encouraging me to try.... Should I?

[@thefoodranger]

Yes definitely try!! mmm mmm

[@angrybird330]

+The Food Ranger i dont eat durian but i love durian.. maybe be'coz im a filipino..(cavite)

[@jeffcore7631]

Another awesome video. Thanks for Durian 101, I could almost taste them, great idea to do a taste test. I'm bookmarking this video!

[@thefoodranger]

+Jeff Core (JcoreTravel) Hey Jeff, that's great to hear, thank you for that!

[@chucklehead2000]

One of your best. I've been all over but I just haven't come across it. Looks awesome.

[@thefoodranger]

+Chris C Thanks Chris!

[@themisterier]

in Indonesia, the desired taste is bitter sweet and alcoholic, also of course with very little beans! i do love coffee and wine too and enjoy lot of varieties of them, but man, how it doesnt compare to Durian! haha. btw in Indonesia its cheaper when in season, like less than 2 bucks per fruit. and yeah honest people loves durian! lol

[@Sareeneea]

goodness - durian and roti canai are my favourite foods and right now I'm missing them so much!

[@IAZ-sb8yr]

Watching this cause I miss malaysia & durian so much. Trevor, since u love durian so much, you should upgrade ur tastebuds with tempoyak dishes (fermented durian). The most popular ones is patin masak tempoyak in pahang malaysia. Super good.

[@ladyjayeXO]

Yum!!! I'm craving for some

[@nateelman4808]

drooling! Thanks for sharing and I'll be looking out to try the Maoshan Wang (Fox King) someday.

[@shammdisa]

+Trevor, you should try fermented durian cooked together with white water fish. it's awesome zhen bang!

[@thefoodranger]

+sham md isa WOW that sounds good!

[@AinnaDean]

My grandparents have a durian orchard in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia so whenever it's in season, my family would go there and eat as much as we want :D

[@ziqtoyyol96]

This video make me feels like wanna eat durian again. Its been so long since last i ate it. I'm from singapore :)

[@hulahips2000]

I've never had Durian. I'm willing to try though. They look like Jackfruits or "Langka" and I love jackfruit. I'm imagining that they taste similar. Love all you videos!

[@berniewong7983]

The taste is very different. I am addicted to durian. I love jackfruit also. Hope you can find good durian to try. That can be hard in the US. Or go to Malaysia or Singapore :)

[@janettyan1100]

ohh i love durian! you should visit cambodia you would love the food there! :)

[@farhananana2492]

we have the same love and reactions when eating durians.. 😂

[@maemaemoomoo]

wow...you just tried probably the best durian!!!I mouth is watery ...One more, D101 is nice too

[@pjsfirstm]

I love Durian!!! One of my favorites of all time....I would love to go to that market. Equality for all fruits!!!!!! Lol...

[@imabbey2652]

[@AAsh-vt9jn]

[@adukaputra3223]

[@thefoodranger]

+Aduka Putra Hey Aduka! Thank you! hahaha, the durian force! It's a true thing, haha! So glad you like watching my videos! Cheers!

[@shutup12345u]

Hi Trevor just came back lol visiting old videos

[@rmwtsou]

Trevor, please do a video on stinky tofu. 1.3 billion Chinese (well, at least a billion) cannot be wrong.

[@theaminswey9733]

rmwtsou no stinky tofo, thanks

[@themightychabunga2441]

I have never tried durian. Some people think kimchi smells like sewage but I can't get enough of it.

[@afiqsyazwi4048]

TheMighty Chabunga for me, kimchi has a more pungent smell than durian but I still love the smell durian.

[@dorissunaz4740]

Trevor, you like durian so much... You need to visit the Philippines especially Davao City in August... The durians here are creamier and milkier at the same time bigger. There are a lot of varieties to choose from. I think you'll enjoy. 😊

[@AnnoyingNien]

Wow.. Durian~~ My favorite !!!! I couldn't believe you like it.. hahaha

[@andremargon88]

Durian is the BEST

[@goldenhowlkennel2873]

Durian is heaven!

[@thefoodranger]

+Ryan Valdez I definitely agree with you on that one! Thanks Ryan!

[@norainbintimuhammadsum6297]

Hi Trevor! I love your videos on Malaysian food :) it's really lovely to see that you're enjoying them although I can't help but feel jellyyy~ i've been studying abroad for 3 years now and have not eaten durian for a long time :( anyways, thank you for your awesome videos xx

[@thefoodranger]

Norain Binti Muhammad Sum Hey Norain! Thanks so much for your comment, I hope you can get back to Malaysia and eat some durian soon!

[@Failedprodegy42]

I've had a drink made from Durian. It was like drinking a fruit salad. Delicious!

[@graysdir9338]

I have such a hard time getting past the smell! It really tastes like old onions to me, but everyones tastes are different! I had it fresh in Cambodia... they wouldnt even let me bring it in the hotel! As with anything, I will keep trying it... as sometimes you can acquire a taste for these things eventually. Great video, as always!

[@thefoodranger]

+Graysdir Thank you so much. I think there must be something in my brain that doesn't smell the bad smell because I think it's really a heavenly aroma! haha! Cheers!

[@orangewedges]

OH MY GOD....please someone take me there. I want to try all the durian and then cry from happiness.

[@HbbH38]

The really good Mao Shan Wang are being sold for US$15-$20+ per kilo here in Singapore. Those 5 durians for $36 was very reasonable. Oh, next time you get a chance, give the Wang Zhong Wang (King of Kings) a try. Its amazing. Usually a little more expensive than Mao Shan.

[@thefoodranger]

+Henry Choo Hey Henry, thank you!! I love Maoshan wang!! mmmm

[@HbbH38]

+The Food Ranger | Trevor James You're welcome Trevor. I love them too. And thanks for your amazing channel. :)

[@FreeSeoul]

I love the worker in yellow.

[@thefoodranger]

+FreeSeoul (무료 서울) haha yeah, for sure!

[@NurgleShnurgle]

I hope your channel will grow. Keep making videos.

[@paurkonyourfork]

So I tried durian the other day for the first time and it was OK but I was expecting that super sweet and thick taste but I had a onion garlicky mango taste. Definitely would be up to try the different types!

[@thefoodranger]

PPPPaula haha Paula that's great. Yeah there is definitely some bad durian out there, but the good ones are mind blowing!

[@megapoopdog123]

Equality for all fruits!

[@iamfugazi1969]

I bought a previously frozen durian at an Asian market in Albany, NY awhile back. My wife and I wanted to try it after watching travel vlogs on YT. Needless to say, neither of us fell in love. However, I would give it another go IF there is a big difference between fresh and what was most likely a who knows how old and frozen version. Do you find a big difference between the two?

[@WoonCherkLam]

+iamfugazi1969 Very big difference... Normally it's advisable to consume the durians in one day (in fact in just a few hours if you want the freshest) after they has been picked... That's why good durians are so expensive - you have to eat it fresh or it will be tasteless... :)

[@IwannatrywithKat]

I'm actually the 3rd option. I like it, but not too much, eventually I feel queasy. But I like it's sweet buttery taste! I would LOVE to visit a Durian buffet and compare all the different profiles! :9

[@joseronito]

i love durian. . .there's plenty here in the Philippines

[@rosemarie7959]

As an American, the only time I’ve ever seen a durian was in a grocery store down in Florida recently. This video makes me sorry I didn’t try it. But, it was massive and that’s a lot to waste if I ended up not liking it 😅…would still like to try a bit someday though!

[@oliviawang2500]

Pretty sure you can find the fresh ones from Chinese grocery supermarket in Toronto here, like T&T or so. Somehow I like frozen ones better, taste like ice cream. Great video!

[@thefoodranger]

+Olivia Wang haha thanks!

[@mymarket2073]

I too love Durian! very tasty
