  • After watching our recent durian video, our American friends wanted to try the king of fruits itself! Since we discovered the best tasting durian in the San Francisco Bay Area (spoiler alert, its Musang King from Malaysia), we decided to have them try it and capture their reactions.

    The guy in white impressed me. He was very articulate and my expectations were definitely subverted when he didn’t appear to be fazed or influenced by the others. As someone who loves durian, his description of the fruit was also spot on. Savory but sweet, like a custard, and acquired taste. 👍🏼

      Yeah, I can't disagree more. Savoury? I've never thought of it as savoury. Savoury to me is something like cheese and salty, the opposite of sweet... and its not and I've never known anyone to acquire the taste, you either love it or hate it :).

    As a child, I used to spend my school holidays at my maternal grandpa's place near Batu Pahat, Johore. He had 5 acres of land planting Durians. During the harvest season, every morning the whole front porch and the yard will be filled with more than 1000 durians for distribution to JB and Singapore.
    Those days there was no D13, D101 etc. Only kampong Durians. Still remember having scoops of durians over a bowl of steamy rice for breakfast! 😁 Such wonderful memories.

    It is common to hear someone say that it is taste like garlic, onion, mango, and sock (the smelling). Recently I watch some video from Middle Eastern-Russia, they said it taste like chicken.
    Now that make me curious how the tongue work for individual and how durian can effect such different thought and taste for each one. It is unique for everyone unlike berry that commonly sweet, coffee that commonly bitter.
    But glad they didn't like the durian. If they are addicting to durian, it is hard to find a better quality of durian. Lesson learnt from iChang, Japanese that recide in Hong Kong that love Malaysian culture.

      We add tons of garlic to cook a dish for 3-4 people. Westerners usually add 1 clove of garlic. Imagine 1 clove of garlic to one slab of meat would taste like, probably very mild almost to none for southeast asians, but what I see when watching western chefs cooking, they always want to avoid “strong” garlic flavours 😂 so yeah.. you can say southeast asians has wild taste palate for a better understanding.

      I have exactly the same opinion. The first mistake they made is to have this negative thought about it. They already associated the durian with nasty things. The second mistake, they try to associate the taste with something they have experienced before. Durian has a unique flavour and you just have to take it as it is, not try to find the next similar things like mango or onion or garlic.

    • @psoon04286
      @psoon04286 Před 4 lety +3

      Ayu Maz That’s right, the moment foreigners compare the taste, texture and smell of durians to any other fruits that they are accustomed to that’s when they’ll not like it. In most other countries, a fruit is a fruit: sweet or sour, juicy or not, crunchy or mushy, and you can eat it right away, no struggling to rip it open. No, durian must be some alien species from Jupiter so it must be terrible and gross🤪

      Some American said it smell like vulcanized rubber, I bet it because of sulphur contain like in raw garlic or onion. Pungent smell from natural ammonia/manganese. Those who have alchohol intolerance, high sugary-fibre intolerance, acid reflux, blood pressure... do not attempt to have durians with empty stomach, carbonated drinks, beer, lassi, prebiotic drinks, acidic coffee. Some kids would even got light fever in durian season, some doctors (seniors/native/proud local origin) in Malaysia would ask us if we consume too much. If coughing with on-off fever, they would asked us on Mangosteen, Dukung, Rambutan, Bacang/Kuini (sap can cause inflammation/irritation)...they would also consider our hygiene/general health also asking do you take imported lychee nor Buah Mata Kucing normally very high in chemical for it to stay fresh. They told us they also get sick because of the same reasons. Cool well-played doctors, sometime introduced themselves as uncle/cik. Stay healthy. 🇲🇾July2021.

    Durian is durian, not an onion..and that is the problem when they set in their mind that the taste is like onion, mango..etc. taste should be creamy, sweet, sour or bitter....for example, apple taste sweet or sour, crunchy or not..not apple taste like pear or watermelon.

    In Singapore, I always try to get "Red Prawn" variety for my son because it is sweeter and hence easier on the palate for beginners. My personal experience is to condition people (that you want to convert) by exposing them to the smell as many times possible but without forcing them to eat it. Just watch others enjoy it. Slowly theyq will find it less repulsive. Accepting the smell is key. Durian unlike other fruits, has a very complex taste and smell, especially the expensive ones.

    Little pinch, little shake and little sniff. True master of durian knowns how well it goes just by doing the three steps. Pinch the thorn to know how much it aged, shake to know if it was mushy or hard, smell to know it is bitter sweet or sweet. Old = soft thorn = over smushed = watery, not recommend even it taste good. Medium one's you'll know how to identify it. My personal love are soft meat, bitter sweet, white yellowish, and stayed over night in the refrigerator. Yumbo!

    Durian definitely needs an acquired taste to be developed to love it. I believe it is the same with a few other foods such as marmite, vegemite and marmalade. I still remember the nightmare of tasting Marmite avocado toast in New Zealand and i am someone who love budu and durian.

    I think ur friend in grey shirt gave the best taste desriptions for all 3 kinds of durians and I like how he developed & changed his perceptions of how those durians smelled & tasted like each time he tried a new kind of durian. 👏👏👏
    Eating durians and other Malaysian fruits are like having adventures, a journey. Even for Malaysians, we don’t eat most of them regularly but occasionally especially during family gatherings, celebrations, picnics or camping with your friends, we would bring some of the fruits such as durians, rambutans, mangoes or jackfruits (whenever they’re available) and have them together with our friends and families. 🥳
    There are so many different fruits and delicious foods available in our country so we won’t get bored with eating the same foods/fruits throughout the year and we get to keep exploring and eating them as the season changes. Some Malaysian fruits are easy to handle, some require a bit of work, while some are just overwhelming (at first). 😁
    Eating Malaysian fruits are like having adventures, and adventures are fun. I’ve said this twice now. It sparks conversation, brings people closer together, keeping joy and enjoying our lives every now and then. 😁
    I think a better way to describe the taste is like a caramelized sautéed onions and garlic with some slightly overripe mangoes and bananas mushed together and turned into a custard-y fruit dessert! 😂😂😂
    But for the experts, they all taste like durians because any good durians are just very good durians! Wait till you get to crave on durians so much that when you had that first bite of a really good durian for a long time, the taste feels so good that your eyes turned white and become ‘high-on-durian’ LOL. I hope that sounds right cuz it happened to me. 😅😂😝

Lo and behold the smell is gone! Dont know why most people dont talk about it more often.

      Every individual's sense of smell is different.
      Their sense of taste is different.
      Just as their spirit is different,
      so are their thoughts and insights.
      But thank you for saying that a Durian Air
      Freshener sounds like a 'good' idea.

    In my opinion, durian is the most popular food in Indonesia, because durian in Indonesia is only available in December - January. actually it smells very thick but tastes really good, there are three kinds of durian flavors: sweet, bitter, tasteless. I prefer sweet. I hope people don't think of durian as a disgusting food, but a very good food
