Top 10 BEST Durians EVER!

Durian
Durian is an acquired taste. Not many have had the opportunity to even taste durian. This is primarily because durian is mostly found and consumed only in South East Asia with very few exceptions of durians being sold internationally.

This one comes highly recommended !
Musang King

Musang King is the king of the ‘king of fruits’. This type of durian is the most popular durian in Malaysia and comes with irresistible golden yellow flesh that is tasty, creamy, filling and very, very satisfying.

That was a top 10 selection from Malaysia, with only Malaysian (or so called so) species.
I'd suggest checking out the vast country south of it.

Fun fact : in Indonesian, double the word to get the plural.
I'm an enduring Duran-duran fan & Durian-durian flan fan.
Spoiler:
So if you see the word written like this : Durian2, it means plural of durian. A 2 is basically a reversed S. Go figure with all this double-wording to come back to the western symbol, just reversed...( because used on the other side of the Earth ?) Weird...

I was a couple of years ago in Kampot an Kep with my girl, who always was in bussiness, she bought 25 kgs of crab and some durians in Kep, both at the crab-market, to sell the day after in Phnom Penh. It was delicious (the durian), but in my eyes overpriced, she bought it without me as barang being around. Dont remember how much, but it was sold per kilo. And later she told me the Durian from that area is the best in Kampuchea. It took days to get the smell out of her car what made me lagh and her angry !! ?? I told her before that the rentong company i useally get my car (LYNA-garage) makes you pay extra if the car smells to Durian. I was happy it was her own car. Knever bought another Durian after but if somebody offers it, why not, i will eat it. Still thinking about te price per kilo, maybe 30.000 rl per kilo, but i dont remeber anymore !! ??

The other half often talks about the Durian from Kampot area being The Best. I’m not sure my tastebuds would be that discerning, but I did notice the difference with Musang King.

Musang King is pricey. But one of the things in its favour is that there is much more edible fruit per kilo. More flesh, less stone.

A friend of mine buys durian in Kampot and then sends it with taxi to her family in sinville.

Apparently it's both more tasty and much cheaper here?

Have not yet aquired the taste let's put it that way lol

smells like hell, tastes like heaven. Same goes for white truffles. Some people cant take the pungent smell, but love it once is shaved over pasta or raw meat. More than once the courier-driver would complain about the remaining smell in his van after delivery.
work is for people who cant find truffles

Nestle Malaysia make an ice cream that they say contains real Musang King. Could be a way to ease into eating a durian

I hate Durian but will try every few years to see if my opinion has changed. Biggest mistake was trying just before a 4-hour hike. Nothing to drink or eat to get the taste out of my mouth; I spent 4 hours trying not to chuck up.
