I love how this fairly small channel has such an amazing international community. The whole world is represented in these comment sections!
You are not alone.
And it's overwhelming positive and happy. My little escape from everything else
You’ve certainly come a long way evolving your durian palette since the beginning!
Now we just have to convince him to like cempedak.
@@Vasharan, possibly but convincing him to enjoy noni isn’t even on the table.
Wow!!! Rocco jumped up and was SO surprised!!! He said, "Thank you so much for the AWESOME shout-out! I was very surprised and excited!!!". Thank you so much and keep up all the great work that keeps our entire family entertained!
Weird Fruit Explorer now likes durian . Last time about 6 years ago in Malaysia , he says , " Its not that bad " . Now he says "Mmmm .." . This is the proof that one must be eat durians quite a few times to develope a liking for it .
I don't know, I liked them from the start as a kid. I do remember I heard all these negative things about it and the smell was strong, but it wasn't unpleasant for me. Its like a nice strong gasoline type smell. coincidentally, I love the smell of gasoline too, so I wonder if love of durian smell and love of gasoline smell go together.
Need some time for the Durian to brainwash you
I watched this at 1.75x speed and got a little scared when you got to chopping for a second cause you were going to town but then I remembered I was making you speedrun durians
Can't wait to get my hand on them again, definitely worth it but they're so big! They'd be fun for a summer party maybe
As a malaysian durian lover i watched you grew your durian palette and amased that you keep open mind to it. Personally it always sadden me a bit when people cant enjoy durian... Because for me tasting durian is like tasting a piece of heaven. (might be an exaggeration) i wish more people can enjoy it. *one of my best friend totally hate durian, so we ask him to smell each durian stall because apparently he can detect which one is more fresh than the other just by smelling from afar. Never failed
is it sweet or onioney/savory? for me its a bit of both. I like durian since to me its a accquired taste.
xxxmochitacion most malaysian cannot describe the taste of durian into several combination taste of fruits/veges bcuz it was registered as a complex taste since they’re child.
I find myself disappointed/annoyed when people say it smells like “shit” or “garbage.” Yes it’s strong and intense, and it does have an element that I’ve sometimes smelled in spoiled onions. But the good part of that smell. 😬 Tastes are too hard to describe. I hope I’ll have a chance to visit Malaysia and try some of these widely different varieties!
Which is the best variety according to you? I would like to grow one in India
@@ganh222 musang king is a legend but different people love different type.
Durian Durian was popular in the '80's.
@Mark: Oh yeah, I remember their big hit, _Huingry Like the Woilf!_
Really? I always thought they kinda stunk
I make this joke to a durian seller.
No reaction. Fml.
@@nimay13 maybe he missed the point, and didn't find it apeeling
@@nimay13 He wasn't one of the cool kids back in the '80's.
It’s funny you call them pillows because mon thong (pronounced mon tong) means “golden pillow” in Thai
I see them in Chinese grocery, they stink, and they look.. just not good.
@@seanleith5312 If the shells quite brown or if there's a lot of water. Its fermented.
I want to try fresh durian so bad. 😭
I've eaten several prepared foods that contained it, and they were delicious.
Oddly, the foods didn't "smell bad" to me. Strong, yes. Bad, no. Especially the mochi filled with durian paste. They smelled musky like an overripe cantaloupe, and there was sort of an egg yolk smell, and kinda a smell like jackfruit rind. The wierd thing was when I opened the mochi package, both I and my friend smelled it right away, but her reaction was to gag immediately. She described the smell as "like rotting trash and puke".
I have this theory that it's like the thing with cilantro where you think cilantro tastes like soap if you have certain gene sequences, because when we offered our kids a taste, my son liked it but her kids reacted the same way she did. 🤷♀️
Plis come to Malaysia
Yes, I think you should definitely come here on durian season. This year, we had surplus of fruits! You can have as much fresh durian as you want! You can also find farms where they charge you a flat fee for a all-you-can eat durian feast right under the tree! Lol
You're probably right about genetics. Often our preferred tastes do get passed down!! Funny enough we have a weird mutation of the cilantro soap gene in my family, it doesn't taste like soap but like chewing and aluminum can :') I want to try durian tho! I'm so intrigued by their descriptions, and as far as smell I mean I like stinky cheese and natto so I'm hoping I'm on a good track for durian 😂
I hope you have gotten to try it or will soon. I live in California and was lucky to find a beautifully ripe one in a local market. It was turning golden brown and actually splitting open. It was delicious, and like you, I thought it had a strong smell but not offensive. I tried to share it with my family and they wouldn’t even touch it, but I ate the whole thing over a few days
@@aqishahzruddin6497 Why malaysia? Might as well go to thailand, she will be safer there. Malaysia is full of corrupt officials that will steal from you and even more shady operations than thailand/
I’m on my way to a farm in Maui that grows durian. I’m so excited to try it. Also, I’m super grateful to this channel for educating me on the nuances of the durian experience
Saw that the party selection of durian was $330 dollars. That’s crazy.
Yeah its pretty expensive but shipping and durian itself is expensive
@@william6509 I could have bought some packed store durian for 15 eu in rotterdam. I didnt because i was afraid it would smell(turns out later freshness is also an issue).
damn bro, very impressive. ive been lifting for years, bench 255 and you look a bit bigger than I am lmao.
good shit man ☠️🤘
Expensive ?? No it doesn't
@@bazookallamaproductions5280 thanks man
This channel is truly a Gem, the amount of unique fruits you’ve shared has been wonderful!!! Didn’t even know there were multiple types of Durian 🤯
A regular Durian missionary. I think we all had an experience going and getting one from an asian market in highschool, struggling to open it, and then all being collectively repulsed by the smell and taste. I may try again after this video.
How about trying straight from asia, after this pandemic over?? , you need come over to Malaysia and try 2 of the most expensive durian, Musang King & Black Thorn Durian....
Miami Fruit ones looks very fresh and they picked the ones that naturally fallen from the tree. Compared to Thai variety that were picked before they're fully riped.
I would recommend the D101 first. D24 and King can be a little bit gassy. Also, drink water afterwards, and I don't recommend mixing alcohol of any kind with Durians.
@@khairulnizamsulaiman8653that’s a $3000 durian brother, imagine if you did all that and got there only to hate it
Durian sounds like an interesting fruit to try, but it seems hard to get some actually good durian. I don't live anywhere near any big cities, so I've never had anything particularly exotic. The most unique fruit I've eaten is starfruit, but that's not saying much.
I only wish I could actually afford to try more durians. The only kind I've been able to afford was freeze-dried and it definitely got me curious to try more.
My daughter and I absolutely love your channel! 💚Thank you for all the awesome content
I tried durian for the first time a few weeks ago. It was a frozen desert dish with rice on the bottom, a few chunks of durian on that and some icing. It smelled like a high school locker room and tasted like rice pudding with chunks of custard and icing on top. I'm hooked.
You had me at first half.
Recently saw a fresh Musang King durian for sale in Canada, apparently it was grown in Mexico and express shipped here. Didn't buy it, as it was over $150, but still interesting to see a non-frozen one in North America.
Wow, nice to know that they have fresh good durians over in Canada too.
the price... 😱 of cause it can't be compared to living and eating it in south-east asia but it costs about S$50 per musang king durian here in singapore (we sell it by kg so it'll be a range of prices per durian or per box of de-shelled ones).
Kinda ridiculous, even flying a fresh singular fruit (durian) from Malaysia shouldn’t be much more than $20. Idk what the issue is here driving the price up like that
I think it’s really cool that even after a few disappointing durians you kept on trying new ones.
I think I've watched 30 fruit videos on this channel this week alone! Such a great channel and so much fun and so interesting to kinda get to try all this stuff through these videos :)
Man I spent like seven whole minutes trying to figure out what that skip was at 2:48 thinking you put some kind of Easter egg or something but it was just you holding the durian on the counter
@~Kyashī Aisakku~ • 13 years ago Just a mistake in editing
Hot tip: Pause the video near where a 'weird frame' like that is in a video that you want to investigate and just press , and . (comma and period) to navigate the video frame-by-frame. Should save you some time, I just did this same thing but it only took me about 15 seconds lol
You kinda sounded like Steve-O in the beginning
Loooool fr
LoL was also my first thought.. xD
also thought that
Yes! A cucumber taste. I haven't found the right word to describe what my favourite durian flavour is until you mention this. haha
I don't remember if I've ever eaten these two, but I do prefer the less gassy ones I'd get locally.
You have a very detailed palate (if that makes sense).
I don't think I would like durian, but I enjoy watching you eat them.
If someone wanted to try durian for the first time, what type or preparation would you recommend? What kind of mindset would you go into it with? From the description, I expect more like a semi-sweet vegetable complexity.
Getting a variety that isn't too oniony is a good way to try it. But if you can't get one, try durian ice cream first. Either buying it or making your own. durian works well with no churn ice cream recipes.
I would recommend D101 because of the low-ish smell. Actually the Kampung/common variant is recommended but I don't think you can get them there. D24 and King are a bit gassy, hence the intense smell.
Mindset-wise, try to cope with the smell and focus on the sweet taste. Tiny bite at a time, dont just chomp them down in one go.
Have them with water, carbonated drink or alcohol is a big no-no.
between D24 and MSW (mao shan wang or musang king), i always thought that D24 would be easier on beginners as it mainly tastes sweet, while MSW is stronger in taste and is usually described as sweet+bitter and more savoury. I prefer MSW because it tastes stronger/sweeter and more complex. also the MSW you get in south-east asia is way more mustard yellow than in this video, while D24 is a pale yellow. (take that most-yellow part of the MSW in this video, and imagine it being the same colour through the whole durian)
@@WeirdExplorer especially ones with synthetic flavor, since they usually lack the stink, only the fragrance. Very good gateway in my experience
Go in with a mindset or eating cheese cake pudding made of pungent cheese
Love seeing the Durian and other rare fruits, keep it up Jared👊
You should really try Durian chilled! It tastes even creamier and overall just improves its taste
Yes
I agree
If you want to acquire this fruit taste
Try the durian ice-cream first
Then frozen
Then not overly ripened one,
Lastly,
Then the fully ripen ones
You're opening durian indoors? That smell gonna linger for a while.
Such an interesting piece of vegetation, I can never get over the horrendous odor or the vile combination of onion, cheese, and feet though so for me it's just something nice to look at.
I tried one bite of Durian in Malaysia at a fruit stand. It took me more than a day to get that taste out of my mouth. My tour guide ate the rest of the whole dam thing. I could best describe it as a gasoline taste.
No, don't try it. If you tasted durians and it's horrible, no, don't try it again. Just don't. We don't need more demand to drive up the prices of durians. LOL.
are you okay jarred? you sound like you may have a sore throat!
hope all is well, love the videos as always
If you want to acquire this fruit taste
Try the durian ice-cream first,
Then have it freezer frozen,
Then try the not overly ripened one,
Lastly,
Then the fully ripen on tree ones
Smiles though the pain, my favorite kind of intro lol
Lol my ears are being tickled through my earphones by the ompah pah pah music way in the background. Reminds me of a few Latin bars.
In Asia - durians are called the King of Fruits. Some people luv 'em , and some people hate 'em. But this is one fruit that you cant ignore & not have an opinion once you smell it!
I've been lucky. I've enjoyed the durians I've tasted and would happily explore more.
I still need to try a durian. Well... And all of the other amazing fruit you have tried
Durian Musang king/BT: Advanced
Durian IOI/D24: Intermediate
Durian Kampong: Beginner
Don't throw the seed. Boil them.
Eat it as snack... Yummy.
Or plant it... 😃
How to pronounce Musang. "Moo" "Sung" (past variable of sing) with a very low emphasis of the "G" letter.
Fun fact. D24 comes out first before Musang King (iirc this is about decade before the King).
I've only ever tried canned durian, I can't wait to try a fresh one!
I finally found purple mangosteens in an Asian market in the Midwest. They are so good! I was wondering if you have experienced them tasting like blood or metal? A few of them have that taste, and I thought I might have cut myself opening them, but I didn’t. Thanks!
Could be the sap from its skin or it could be that it isn't ripe enough.
I think I’m going to order one tomorrow.
Hello im from Portugal and i Love your Chanel :) let the fruit battle begin.
3:58 - "little pillows"... as in, alien maggot pillows.
I think you are thinking of D101 that is the variety they try to pass off as Musang King when your in Malaysia. D101 is yellow flesh as well very sweet. D24 is a white flesh. Not much like Musang king
Wow, I never really knew there was such a huge difference between cultivars. Knowing a bit more I'd be less scared of trying a more 'newbie-friendly' one if I could somehow ever get my hands on one.
New sport: Durian wrestling!
Please review the black Thorn🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you’re reviews are the best.
Thanks! I had that a while back here: th-cam.com/video/WLIAUl6icK0/w-d-xo.html
@@WeirdExplorer thank you, I didn’t see it. I’ll watch it. Keep reviewing exotic fruits and other stuffs. You’re reviews are good than others. Clear and easy to understand, my first language is not English, you’re explanation is really clear, how the fruit taste and all. Thank you, be safe.
When people try durian for the first time and don't like it, it's generally because it's either unripe or it's way past due.
Durian is usually perfect when the seams are naturally split somewhat.
Can you do a video on Durian, and discuss why for you ... they dont seem to smell.
Which ones smell, which ones do not so much,
and why you seem to not just ignore the smell, but maybe appreciate the smell.
We must try this sir. Love your channel
Sabaidee my friend. My favorite pungent tropical fruit. I get my durian in Laos.
*crying in pain* ᵍʳᵉᵉᵗᶦⁿᵍˢ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵇᵒᵈʸ ᵗᵒᵈᵃʸ ᶦ ᵃᵐ ʰᵉʳᵉ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵗʷᵒ ᵈᵘʳᶦᵃⁿˢ
Dude I could watch you eat this stuff all day....is that wierd? Tempted to buy some frozen durian at my local asian food shop. But....... There's some reluctance. Mmmm
Another that I would try if given the chance.💜💜💜
So, have you made durian ketchup? I feel like that's in order. You probably wouldn't need to add any onions to it.
I like durian although its not locally grown in our region but when ever i see one i get one cause its very tasty doesnt really tasted the other kinds of durian.
Usually buying a container of musang king durian they would usually sneak in a few D24s and my family would always notice because it is usually not as sweet and D24 is also a bit of a paler yellow in compared to the king
I love this channel ❤
I had durian loved it my first try
ive never had fresh, only durian in pastry and durian chips and i wanted to like it but the sulphur or gasoline taste was too bad for me. its probably a good fruit but i have a hard time with sensory things. i would like to try a musang king sometime. i love mild and slightly sweet and i think durian could be something i can acquire a taste for as i cannot have to bitter citrus like grapefruit and its almost like the opposite
this channel is king
Did the Musang King have **any** mild oniony flavor?
The shakes I have had do. I'm curious.
They often have any amount onion-y flavour.
Could you make a video with the list of the best beginner durians???
I must try more durians now lol
what happened to your voice?
his hands were being stabbed by durians (a rather unpleasant experience)
A fruit I always wanted to try!
dude, landlord gonna kick you out for that durian
I'am malaysians and I have eat durians so many times.
I like the musang king (pronounced moo-sang) it's good. Musang is the big favorite in Singapore. I like the D24 it's a different texture & flavour profile compared to the musang king. I'm going to miss fresh, never frozen durian (I've been living in Singapore) but I'm moving back to Vancouver soon. Ah well.
My first frozen mornthong durian I got smelled strongly of paint, and tasted like a super creamy coffee liqueur mousse, it was weird but the taste was incredible, I got very lucky, I have never found another one like that
First impressions matter. It sucks that everywhere else around the world people are having their first taste of durian with the vile kerosene-smelling stuff that locals would rather turn into tempoyak (fermented durian paste) than eating it raw.
I wonder who looked at a durian and thought “Yeah, that looks like food. I’m going to eat it.”
A lot of forest animals eat durian. Humans must have watched and go "hmm... they're eating it despite the thorns, it must be good!"
I know you have a dragonfruit comparison, but there are soooo many varieties that have different colors and flavors, opinion?
In the biginning he sounded sick
I think it was pain from holding the spikey fruit.
Nothing comes close to durian. Nothing ☺️
"Moo"-Sung emphasis on the first syllable.
Request you to suggest to me which durian is the best in terms of size and sweetness and expensive. I am planning to plant durian.
Hey weird explorer, you should try Surinam cherry on it’s own
waiting for our mk durian to fruit! yummy
What??? You've planted a Musang King durian tree? Are you in Florida or Hawaii?
@@mazlanazizee8062 Ecuador
Wow....How did you managed to get the seed or plant all the way there? If its a plant, is it a graft? Thanks. Cheers👍👍
@@mazlanazizee8062 we got both, seeds from Asia and there's some limited Farmers that have them so seeds and plants, sometimes they graft them here
Great. Please remember to share any videos once your tree(s) start fruiting. Thanks👍👍
I think I need to give durian another chance.
Musang King is way overrated in my opinion. Yes it tastes good but not at the prices they're being sold (at least here in Malaysia even near it's origin - the Musang Caves). Because of that my go-to high end durian is still the D24. You can get 3 or 4 D24 for the price of one Musang King
You mean overpriced, right? Because Musang King still taste better.
@@elyens2360
D24 and red prawn are better. There, I said it, musang king is overrated. It's like the least offensive of the "advanced" variants, it's nowhere near as strong as the red prawn or as bitter as the D24
What about weird vegetable exploration??
Try find durian jantung or the heart durian,rarely seen even in malaysia,very big around 10-15kg per fruits,the flesh very creamy like the whipped cream,no bitterness, a single wedges of flesh can esily stuffed you up,damn i miss that durian,my family happened had a single tree of that durian,but someone just jealous and poison that tree,the tree really hard to cloned because so big and tall,like 20-25meter tall,yes thats a very ancient vatiety of durian,a single tree only produce 7-10 fruits every year,but a single fruits enough to feed 10-12 people
Imagine if ppl used to shoot these things at each other in war and that landed to durian thriving in the environment
No idea why i made this comment 2 months ago i’m pretty sure i was high or sum
Very jealous, wish we had a company like Miami Fruit here in Australia
NICE
I just tried it. Taste like pepper/onion ice cream.
Easy to tell if it is musang king, turn it upside down and you see a starfish like sign underneath. If d24, not too much.
I have had excellent D24 before!
When I was in the Navy I ate durian a couple times in Singapore. I hated them
I hope fellow headphone users were also feeling the bass from some spanish music in a nearby apartment around 3:20 haha
I keep thinking Mustang
2:48 jump scare
Kinda looks like kidneys preserved in formaldehyde 🤕
How do you know
ok someone had to have talked with a tabletop roleplay game enthusiast when naming the D 24
"roll a D24" "no no not that" "where did you even get that from?"
@@pepre7594 this gave me a good laugh
How do you mask the smell in the house?
You can buy different types of Durian from Miami Fruit. One Musang King there, is $137.00 !!
Bruh over here in Malaysia it costs like a fraction or even less
