    I'm german and recently travelled to Malaysia, I tried durian and liked it 👍 The smell wasn't as bad as people always said it was, and the taste was good. I also tried other fruits like longan fruit and salak. It is amazing how many delicious fruits there are in southeast asia that we never see in europe.

      You should also try another seasonal fruit which is mangosteen. Usually you can find it during the same durian harvesting season.
      Other fruits you should try in Malaysia is starfruit, guava, jackfruit, cempedak.
      Jackfruit and cempedak look similar on the outside but have very different taste and texture.

    ‘Rambut’ in Malay language means ‘Hair’ in english . ‘Rambutan’ literally means hairy fruit .
    ‘Duri’ in Malay language means ‘ Thorns or spikes’ . ‘ Durian ‘ literally means fruit with thorns or spikes.

    mostly Romanian loves Malaysia's signature Musang King & Black Thorn durian. The best durian version in the world among any breed comes from Malaysia.
    There are alot more types of other durians which is:
    Udang Merah (Red Shrimp)
    101
    XO
    Different types means different texture, appearances & absolutely TASTE.
    Usually China always import durian from Malaysia every season.
    One advice to you guys, whenever u eat durian, strictly please do not consume any alcohol drink because durian will make your body temperature bit high. If u do so, u will get heart attack.
    Good pair for cooling down the body heatness after eating durian is eat durian's best friend, Mangosteen.
    Durian - The King of Fruits (The Hotter) while Mangosteen - The Queen of Fruits (The Cooler/Balancer)

    I love your honesty and non-pretentious approach to eating the durian even for the first time and declaring you actually love them. Some Westerners make it out as though they're going through hell to even taste the fruit; I don't understand - durians are just natural fruits from mother earth, nothing added and nothing subtracted and of course, they taste like heaven!

      Having lived here in the West for half-a-century it's not unreasonable for me to say they're being extremely hypocritical; e.g. they 'hate' the smell and taste of durian but they love their blue cheeses - the Stilton, Epoisses, Camembert, Roquefort and a host of others.

    Last month our family went back to Malaysia for summer holiday after spend 5 years in abroad, we straight away look for Musang King and D24. Blackthorn hard to find, probably next time when we’re back again. Miss the taste of durians already. Malaysia has the BEST durian taste/flavour compared to other countries in the world.

  • @andrewstoryas

    Put aside the skin, pour some water on it and drink after you eat durian. This rather or somehow works to reduce the gasses after eating them. Also avoid to consume coffee or beers a few hours (2 - 4 hours, depending on individual dietary and food tolerance) before and after eating durian.

      It is kinda surprising how people who never see and taste durians before describe its taste. For me, a Malaysian who has eaten countless durians since I was little, durians taste like durians. The taste is unique. No resemblance to any other fruits. I do not taste banana, strawberry or onion or whatever in them. I taste durians - that's it. And I love the taste very very much.

    • @hassanmusa6375
      @hassanmusa6375 2 роки тому +4

      I think the very special thing about Durian is the aroma and not the taste.
      I do hope somebody will do a research on the effect of Durian Aroma on human mind, the reaction of the brain wave ( smell sense).

    There are several types of durians & fruits that native to Borneo & originally only available in Sarawak & Sabah. Their flesh can be white, yellow, orange or red with very different textures from common durians. Even the shapes & the colors of their skins are vary from green, yellow, orange to red as well.

    You guys should directly open and taste the durian if you find one that just falls from the tree. The fresh will make your tongue numb and the fragrance are slightly better, but after the durian falls off the tree for more than 15mins, this taste will be gone. Not everyone got the chances to wait for the durian falls 🤣

    hi Michael and Gigi, you guys are so blessed and fortunate to try the freshest durian ever. However durians will start to ferment the moment they drop off from the tree and the longer it is not consumed the smellier it gets.
    Therefore instead of exporting durian (if really have to will need to freeze it properly - a lot of work) to Romania, how about teaming up with the orchard and bring the Romanians to come visit the farm since I think you have adopted Catherine(?) the baby durian and you can see your baby grow and while at it. 😁

    hi a little tip ...eat mangosteen fruit after eating durian to alleviate the burps. or another local way is to put water at the durian "shell" or durian skin? and drink that water. its supposed to neutralize the gassiness after eating durian... hope this helps.
    btw, never ever drink alcohol or gassy drinks after durian binge..people say its not good. i dont know whether this is based on medical facts so it could be just local folklore.
    anyway, continue to explore and enjoy Malaysia!
