American girl living in Malaysia hunts durian for a living 🇲🇾
We just went on a 4-days durian tour, visiting farms and factories that grow, produce, and export durian and its by-products.
We didn't expect to see other foreigners in the tour, and was surprised to learn that a lot of foreigners love durian! Here, we met Lindsay whom we found out later on, that she hunts durian for a living! How cool is that!? Sounds like a dream job to us.
She mentioned that eats durian almost everyday (jealous!). We had a great durian party by the river with the tour group, trying different types of durian: D24, durian kampung, durian musang king, black thorn, you name it! Check out our durian party!!

Durian is the best fruit in the world because it's an event. A perfect observation Steve. No other fruits but only durian deserves a party/gathering held in its honor. It's not the king.It's the freaking emperor of all fruits 😂
According to the Orang Asli elders I have met, Durian is the king of fruits because when it is in season deep in the jungle, all the creatures, great and small gathers... From the smallest insects, the reptiles, mammals from the smallest rodents to the greatest like the elephant... and Orang Utan to all the people in the region. I remember the days when we would travel up to a hundred mile trip just to get to the freshest durian we know... Nowadays, travel is so much easier

If you non Muslim do not drink any alcohol after eating durian..maybe it not true but just for reminding
Nothing like having a durian party in Malaysia. The best of the best!
You can have durian for every meal of the day. For breakfast you can have Roti Jala with Lempuk (Durian Jam). For Lunch, how about rice with Sambal Tempoyak (Durian Paste). You can also have durian with sticky rice (Pulut Durian) for your teatime. For Dinner, Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak (Fish in Durian Paste Gravy). For dessert, how about Cendol Durian? Durian Crepe? Durian Flavoured Icecream? Durian Tart? Endless possibilities with durian.

One thing to mention about durian is that it is so filling. One sitting of the fruit and you can go without meals for the day.
Ahh Lindsay from the Year of the Durian. I disagree with her diet, but I admire her enthusiasm and knowledge of durian.
I LOVE her content and have been following her KZread for a couple years now.
We in Sarawak and West Kalimantan eat durian flowers and unripe durian as well. Most of us simply love wild or jungle durians. Durian Susu and Durian Tembaga are the best durians from Serian district. Before cooking the durian flowers, we have to get rid of the pollen grains first otherwise the dish turns out to be jelly like.

@pakngah3715

Not reaĺly true. Many people in Southern Thailand prefer naturally felled durians. The harvested durians allow for longer travel times and shop display times since the durian ripens during transit or in the shop while the felled ones need refrigeration during transit. Unrefrigerated felled durians should be eaten in 3 days, after which the flesh become mushy.

Asian supermarkets in the west could not provide fresh durians due to technology in freezing and the fruit will crack below naturally. The nearest musang king importer i came across is miami fruits while browsing online. When westerners bring them home, it is brown in colour inside. It shld be white inside. Durians are white or golden depends on varieties.

Durian is best eaten fresh, i.e, right after open, and bester after it falls from the tree (that means have to eat it during harvest time). In Malaysia, durian season is July/August. Durian stalls u can find along the country roads and the drive in the countryside nearby the orchards, you can smell right inside your air conditioned car with all windows closed(yes, the smell of the durians fallen from the trees is that strong) . Durian has a bit of alcohol content, that makes some varieties a bit gassy/sour than the other and that sort of explained why it is so sinfully addictive. It is unlike any other fruits, durian is savoury. It is creamy, buttery, custardy with soft flesh on the inside and silky filmy coating on the outside. It’s like nature growing you panna cotta/creme brûlée on trees. Because of the gas it releases, my dad always reminds me to eat the durian quickly after open, otherwise it will turn sour, the longest i keep durian after open is overnight. Some varieties like musang king, if u keep it overnight the flesh will harden and not nice, while black thorn will still be soft and less gassy the morning after. With that said, i cannot imagine one eats frozen durians that have traveled half way around the world.
I still remember my late grandma will call every sons and daughters to gather at her house only to ate durian.... during that time i was not into durian coz i hate the smell but now once i married my wife who is a HANTU DURIAN (she loves durian so much)... i found out its not so bad and now i manage to eat and enjoy durian.....
Hi Steve and Ivanna...as always very interesting content especially on foods.Durian is one of my favourite fruit.The durian that Ivanna is eating look so yummy Congratulations to the organiser for this great event.Steve and Ivanna really enjoy durian while in Malaysia.Wish I can join you all.Cheers and have fun.

Actually after you ate durian … it will always leave a smell to your hand and mouth The easy way to get rid of the smell is Put some water on to the lid or kulit and washing your hand and you can also drink the water from the kulit . Try it

Beautiful farm
Wow, what a fun durian feast. It was in Johor or Pahang I guess!
Amazing orchard amazing resort. We probably have the most awesome resort dedicated to a fruit.
Sure. For us, durian is special because we would go to the market where they sell them in a big bunch where you can just pick it out. Friends, family or who you gone with will pick one and they can open each together and see who got the best pick and enjoy them together. I'm pretty good at it over the years.
Durian black thorn ..musang king.. Udang merah.. The Best durian... 👍👍👍👍😍
Its great 😁 you like durian 🤗
Even maui hawaii has durian and rambutan farm
Let the Durian feast begin!!
Tiger also eats durian. When I was small, when my mom and I went to gather durian, she will always say don't take all, leave some for Pak belang (Tiger).

Durian is a healthy fruit as it has more vitamin C than orange, more omega 3 fats than salmon and more fiber than oats.

Wait, Lindsay runs daily. That's her secret to eat daily too! She's an excellent runner because she's from my alma mater that produces world class athletes.

Durian indeed a king of fruit in msia.everybody goes crazy with it delicious and tasty sweet taste.nowdays everybody likes to grow this tree in their neighbourhood😂
As a Durian lover, when i was a kid, went to a my grandparent's kampung place and ate Durian for almost everyday that i eventually sick at looking the sight of it.
Sedapnyaaa
This video make me craving for durian
Its so dense with calories, fibre, antioxidant, vitamin B6,C, potassium, manganese, magnesium, copper, folate, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, etc. That's cause a pungent smell & ur metabolism increases during digestion of the fruit.
Love the MAHA shirt
You really make me jealous ivana..thats musang king..perghhh
For me, Musang King is still the best
Musang King is only found in peninsular Malaysia which is almost similar to him is"Durian Tembaga"but not as perfect as Musang king.
I love durian and even my cats love to eat so that's are my first time start to like to eats durian cause the cats also love to eat it. Thanks to my buddy cats🐈😁
