Durians 'The King of All Fruits'

Petaling Jaya -  This is Durian season and I simply love durians. Unfortunately as many Malaysians lamented that China bought and shipped most of the premium grade 'Musang King' or 'Mao Shan Wang' durian as unbelievable prices. In fact, this durian store does not have a single Musang King durian to be sell to us.

Store front

Durian buffet for RM30 but this durian is the lowest grade called 'Kampong durian'. We had 3 durians starting from 'Red Prawn'
Red Prawn
Other names: Hong Xia, Ang Hay
Colour: Orangey-red
Taste notes: Sticky with a sweet aftertaste.
From: Pahang, Johor
To me it tasted like Mao Shan Wang, very creamy and sweet but the seed is much bigger.

Lipas Lipan Durian
This is a new breed of durian that cost RM10 more than Red Prawn durian but does not taste as good.       Lipas Lipan means cockroach centipede....strange name for a Durian.

XO durian

Colour: Pale yellow
Taste notes: Bitter and extremely soft, fleshy meat with an almost alcoholic taste.
From: Johor, Genting, Cameron Highlands

Yummy...
