Regarded by many in Southeast Asia as the notorious 'King of fruits', the Durian is truly the KING OF FRUITS.

My personal review on this, to be honest, is that I am a Durian junkie. Not only it is smelly, not only it is thorny but it is FINGER LICKING GOOD! The fruit is mainly seasonal, but during the limited time, one have to travel to the plantation itself to dig your hands on it. There are many plantations that can be found , within hours from Kuala Lumpur.

There are many kinds of durians that are mainly famous here in KL, Musang King, Udang Merah, D24, the list goes on. But my personal favorite would be the Musang King. I tell you, the smell alone is powerful that it lingers in the car for WEEKS! But trust me, the taste is just as powerful as the smell. It taste almost creamy BEYOND explanation.

Here's a short drive to the beautiful Kuala Kubu Bahru, Selangor. Stalls like this can be found just about anywhere along the winding country roads.

I've always only heard of Durian, but have never tasted it! I would really love to try it, the smell will not affect me at all for sure!

I love durian so much! Smells like hell, tastes like heaven :-D

Wow...you surely laid your hands on one of the best type of durians...honestly, it's not easy to get the best, got to keep chasing for the perfect one...lol...:-D

True, it's not easy to find the good one. That's why I always delegate it my father when it comes to choosing durian :-D Oh my, now I'm craving for some but here in Belgium, the price is so high and my father isn't here to help me :-D

Oh...that's the power of durian...lol...and that's a very normal behavior of a durian lover. :-)

As it look I also think he is the king of fruits! I guess it's very tasty.

Definitely yes, you'll be missing something great if you haven't tasted it yet, SERIOUSLY.. :D

there's always the 2 school of thoughts on the smell, mind playing tricks...lol

Yes... You are right
