Durian Burung anyone?
In case you were wondering what lovely delicious morsel a durian burung is, well it isn’t. Not what you’re thinking anyway, that it might be a little durian roll or even a durian dumpling. No, durian burung is translated as “durian ...

In Penang but No Durians
It was an amazing evening of char kuey teow but sadly no durians at this time of the year. I’d like to confirm that there is definitely only 1 season of durians in Penang and it is only for a precious 3 months. SW and I will have to search for ...
Durian Article in the Malaysian Star Newspaper
I’ve been to this stall in PJ (that’s been mentioned in the article below) once when I brought some friends from the UK to see the crazy durian gorging scene and they were reasonably impressed with the fruit just with seeing the visceral ...
Weird Durian Food Combinations

I just wanted to share my experience eating at a durian stall in Damansara Uptown (opposite Starbucks). I must say we did not have a good experience at all. Although they say it's 'pau sek' ie quality guaranteed, when we rejected a durian which a worker brought to us (one of the seeds was rotten), the worker insisted that we take it. We stood our ground and he walked away in a huff. When we ate the second one, it was 'watery' ie it was tasteless with poor texture (and we're not durian connoisseurs!). We then informed him that it was 'watery' and he said 'that is because you spilled water on it!'. With a bad taste in our mouths, after a couple more durians, we decided to call it quits. And not to our surprise, there was a dispute in the weight where the 'lady boss' insisted we had 4 durians but we actually turned one away (the one with the bad seed). Anways, there were other customers standing around, hence she relented. We paid and vow never to set foot in this durian stall again! Be warned durian lovers!
