@@RealLifeFruitopia I watch a lot of travel videos around similar countries and one thing I noticed everywhere is Tamarind trees that look like they care entirely on themselves. They are all over the globe it seems. Hope yours fruits soon!
10:32 I'm there with you by watching the video lol, but you're right - I say the same thing too when I venture places, but at least I go where no one else goes and bring that world to everyone.
10:27 I know right? I should be there with you - test tasting all the durians and putting it on youtube lol - but I just can't - I take care of my family, so I rely on you to do this for me lol.
@@RealLifeFruitopia makes sense - because summer is really winter over there. It's just that summer is summer here - so why would any american be there at this time of year?
@@RealLifeFruitopia it's not native to the americas nor europe - so it wouldn't make sense to be consuming foreign fruit when local fruit is already available - and many exotic! Not to mention the aversion to certain tastes - for me - I don't really consume alliums, like onions, and durian tastes like onions - but I agree - americans and europeans love it! Maybe by the time the durian comes that way - it doesn't taste as great - so the bad experiences keep them away? I guess it's still a mystery - you're right.
Glad you made it to your dream fruit market guys. Don't think i'd bother going there lol. As I said before Durian is a take it or leave it fruit for me, the flesh is just too creamy, heavy and rich for my palate lol. I prefer a light, crisp, refreshing fruit taste in my mouth 😂. But i get why people are addicted to them 👍
I’ve decided to go on a durian feast in SS2, today. I’ll pick and select the Musang King and Black Thorn variety on my own. One important tip is to make sure there is no hole that has been burrowed by insects. Another thing is to ensure that the tip end of the fruit is sealed or not split at all. Use your nose to smell it, select the one with a fresh smell or perhaps, look at its stem for freshness. I prefer the freshest fruit from the farm and not a fruit that had been dropped for more than 12 hours from the tree.
I have studied in Melbourne a few years ago and they do sell Malaysian durians at Asian Markets, like 15.99 AUD for 3 pulps of Frozen Musang King. It will be more expensive more these are just the prices I remembered then. Eat it frozen it has an ice cream texture with less smell than fresh but taste the same. Don't thaw it bite it frozen as it's soft like ice cream not like block ice
Those places tend to scam people by selling just random kampung durians (which means something like random village seedlings) for top varieties like Musang King or D24. I'm not saying this one is like that but there are lots of scammy places (usually run by Chinese)
What you typed is true, we walked past quite a few suspicious looking stalls. I did my homework on the top vendors at SS2 through Google reviews. We ended up sitting where the local Malays were eating.
@@RealLifeFruitopia ah - it's summer here - so frozen is ideal here - and that's why americans would probably prefer something frozen rather than some place that's hot and requires lots of travel - that involves a lot of exposure to hot weather as well. Similar to the other response comment I wrote.

Welcome to KL, Malaysia. Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay, and tasting Durian, the king of all fruits in Malaysia.
Thanks for the welcome! We love Malaysia's diversity of culturals as well the fruit and weather.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Wonderful. 😀
Hell ya man, glad to see you guys enjoy yourselves!
It's been amazing!

My garden is my family, and winter is the only chance I get to travel for a length of time.
@@RealLifeFruitopia makes sense - because summer is really winter over there. It's just that summer is summer here - so why would any american be there at this time of year?
@@extropiantranshuman 93 million Americans travel outside of the US each year. I guess Durian isn't a priority for most of them.

We often buy it frozen at Springvale, but not the same as freshly cut. Thanks for sharing!
Don’t forget to try Black Thorn durian variety too since you’re here in M’sia and let’s know your verdict.

叫人家去試便宜一点的其它品種好嗎？😢
Just wondering, who is watering your big garden while you are away from Australia for such as long time?
Rainfall
@@RealLifeFruitopia Haha, true. In Gold Coast, the rain has been on for almost 2 weeks so far, and no sign it will stop in another week.

10:33 I don't go - because I have durian where I live - it just comes here frozen is all
We have frozen available in Australia too, but it's winter, so not the greatest combo!

@@extropiantranshuman Consistent hot weather is the main reason we traveled so far, durian comes second.
@@RealLifeFruitopia hey - glad I got to be there for the seconds - I'll take anything - and hey - now we have 3rds - the more the better lol
yes....chinese are the big fans of durians...
Something I've always wanted to try.
Try frozen durian from an Asian grocery.

I hope you can make it to KL soon!
Just to clarify that SS2 is in Petaling Jaya which is another city adjacent to Kuala Lumpur
Thanks for clarifying. For most foreign viewers, Kuala Lumpur is better known.
If I can recall correctly, Musang King (premium quality) was about rm45 per/kg 5 years ago.
Most things have doubled in price since then.
@@RealLifeFruitopiano worries Aussie dollar strong lately.
Durian is the best fruit to me, second is Marang.. 😊😋
I'm yet to try Marang. Waiting for our trip to Borneo, where it's known as Tarap.
@@RealLifeFruitopia highly recommend it.. I'm sure you'll like it.. 😊
Durian man located is SS 2, is in Petaling Jaya , not in Kuala Lumpur.
Thanks for clarifying. Title fixed.
i prefer musang king over black torn, eventhough black torn more expensive. in my place , Btorn = RM58 per kg and musang king RM50 per kg
I like both! You are lucky to have access to fresh durian :)
This is not the place to purchase durians as their durians are very expensive ! And it is a nightmare for anyone looking for a parking lot .
Where else do you suggest?
