Firstly a big thanks to the lovely Sharon at Mr. Chen's Durian Farm for welcoming us & showing us what traditional Sarawak food is like. We had a great time & the food was delicious.
Today we're visiting Master Chen's Musang King durian farm.
This is our first time visiting a durian farm & we learned that Musang King is the King of Durians.
we got to see how a durian farm runs & found out some really interesting things about Durian (the king of fruits).
We tried some of the durian and we were pleasantly surprised by it. Malaysian Durian is most definitely different to Thailand Durian.
On the farm they also offer a homestay with breakfast for a minimum of 10 people.
The Durian farm is located in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia & it is well worth a visit (even if you don't like Durian).
Musang king is the best durian in the world (in our opinion).
Thanks for watching!

Durian king and queen, i would say, guys, you both enjoyed that Durian, that place is beautiful and very greenery. I like the place so a team of ten people can experience the stay at the farm and not that expensive as well .Nice one guys 👏👏👏👏👏👌👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
very nice family..
Thank you 😊
Hi guys
I was born in battombong in 1970 . I tried durian when I was a kid.
Now I know I will try it again ripe fresh from the tree. Since you guys can eat it I should be able to eat it as well.
Enjoyed your video thanks. Great job trying different foods. You guys are cool.
Hello! We’ve been in Battambang recently! It’s a very nice place.
You will definitely
Have to give durian another try, it’s weird but it has definitely grown on me. ❤️
The best video so far, the way you interact with local & experience sarawakian local foods, thankyou.
It was a really beautiful experience & one we will never forget. ❤️
Yes, loved the interaction with locals
Enjoy watching! Great video!!
Thank you ❤️🫶
I CAN STILL SMELL THIS , YEARS LATER🤥😵🤣👏👏👏👌👍
Hahahahha I (Sarah) can’t smell the bad smell anymore, it only smells sweet to me 😂😂
wow the house so huge like a palace
It was massive! So beautiful! 🙌🏽
17:12 You guys are so lucky to have a home cook Sarawak meal! Makes my mouth water looking at those dishes! That fish with the sour eggplant is delicious. It's a typical Sarawak way of cooking the sour eggplant and fish. It's not merely a Chinese dish or a Chinese fusion. It's just how Sarawakians pair the sour eggplant.
It was absolutely amazing, we had such a great time there and we feel so lucky to be able to eat traditional Sarawak food, it was really delicious 🤤🤤
@@francandsarah, if you want to try more Dayak food… try them at Busang Jelini Long Panai at 275, Jln. Abell.
Marvellous piece.
It's just that the 15% increase of humidity levels have negatively affected yields, flowering cycles and hardly talked about.
Thank you!
Wow, that's definitely going to change the way the fruits are cared for and grown, thanks for the information!
Great clip guys. There’re a few videos on Kuching but yours would have to be one of the best and most in depth in terms of coverage. Well done. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for this really lovely comment, you completely made our day!
We really adore Kuching, it was - by far, our favourite place in Malaysia ❤️
That looks like such an lovely location, so serene, thanks for going out to the farm and making the video, looks like a wonder place to visit., . Thanks for the link
Really awesome place, we had a great time & it was so beautiful there! No worries, hopefully you have a chance to visit one day! 😊
Cambodian Durian is much creamier and sweeter than Thai Durian. The texture is smooth and cream cheese sweet.
Funny just ate Durian now . Im in Melbourne $39 for 2 pieces , fresh from Thai . By plane to Thai grocer in Melb . Me & Wife like to eat it a little firm / crispy , not soft . But yeah 100% like onion a little bit 😅
Sheeesh! $39 for 2 pieces!? That's an expensive bit of fruit. I'd say that slightly colder and firm does taste better to us, and that onion taste is very odd and unexpected when biting into a piece 😂
Very interesting looked like a great experience
It was awesome! And the durian was surprisingly really yummy!
Those durian are gold bars on trees. I know 1 durian farmer, a full load pickup truck is around RM30k. That was few years back. The value should be more now. Some people got turn off because of the bad handling of the durian. Best ones is fresh from the tree still in the skin. The smell come from fermentation.
Thank you, super interesting… it is so expensive but really tasty. A lot of hard work goes into farming it & we understand why it costs so much now 😂😊
@@francandsarah it is also have some fancy tech in its supply chain now. There are farms that sell oversea like China as a premium fruit. So lots of tractability system to ensure authentic. Just like buying a expensive handbag.
Hello, welcome to Kuching Sarawak Borneo❤😊
Hello! It’s a very beautiful place ❤️🫶
That green leafy vege is called sweet leaves in English. Here we call it Changkok Manis.
Thank you ❤️
Ah - the D Food - well I haven’t tried it either 🤨 - quite a bit of it also here in Vietnam -
The farm looks well laid out and prosperous. It’s cool you got to also taste a variety of other locals foods . Well produced video
Thanks 🙏 👋✔️✌️👍
Thank you Ant, we always love reading your comments 😊
It is weird the first time you try it, but the flavour is definitely growing on us.
The Sarawak food was so delicious 🤤🤤
Very interesting video about Durian Farm. Malaysian durian taste different from Thailand durian ❤👍
Thank you! Yes, Malaysian durian is a lot sweeter. It’s really good ❤️
I think what Sarah meant was Hawthorn fruit slices. It tastes sweet and sour.
Yes that was it! Haha thanks! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Durian is acquired smell. Your first smell and taste should be pungent. After few times, you will love Durian…
We've definitely acquired a taste for it now!
So this video is not recent. This video was uploaded very late because i remember seeing a BMW accident climbed the road divider about a month ago right in the Kuching Waterfront city centre.
Yes, our content is scheduled about a month in advance. We’re actually in Siem Reap, Cambodia now 😊
Hopefully all involved in the accident were ok & no serious injuries 🫶
Wow enjoy your durian ya guys. Sadly I got allergy on durian so cannot join 🙏😅
Oh no! Sorry to hear that & thank you 🙌🏽
They said Malaysia produce highest grade of durian in the world. Usually Musang King (second priciest type of durian) known for its thin pit/seed + strike yellow color + ‘trace’ of 5 pointed star at bottom. But the priciest type of durian is Black Thorn, they said it has super strong taste & alcoholic hint…
They were growing Musang King & Black Thorn, it was really cool to learn how it grows, very interesting & we had no idea there were so many different types of durian.
I think the one we tried was a Musang King.
Very delicious & thank you for your comment 🙌🏽
Durian, is it or is it not worth the experience for the westerners. I guess, going to a durian farm is a wonderful experience.
For those westerners who wants to know what's the taste of durian is like, you can try a RM1 popsicle from a grocery. If it's likeable, then you can go ahead with the fresh durian, durian dessert, durian cake, durian coffee, durian chocolate, durian fudge, durian candy, durian cendol, durian ABC etc. One of my favorites is pulut durian, sticky rice with durian that is cooked with coconut milk and palm sugar.
Durian in Malaysia is very good, we enjoyed it a lot. I can understand why some westerners don’t like it but the longer we’re in Asia then more we like it (especially Sarah) haha.
Going to the farm was absolutely beautiful, it was well worth going for us, we loved it so much & Sharon the farmer is so beautiful & kind teaching us about Durian and Sarawak food ❤️🙌🏽
@@francandsarah That sounds great. Lovely to know that you guys had a good time with your durian experience. 😀
I have never tried durion,the smell puts me off,this was interesting though
Thank you 😊
I (Sarah) can’t really smell it anymore, must be from being in Asia for a while. It’s weird but the fruit is growing on me, I quite like it now.
