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!

      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 .

    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! 👍🥰🙏

    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
      @decTac 10 місяців тому +3

      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..

      @@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..✌️

    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!

    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 😋😁

    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 ❤
