Musang King Durian: The BEST Durian In The World!
Combat Durian is a reputable durian dealer in Singapore, where you’ll find amazing Musang King durians. Get more details on my Singapore food guide: migrationology.com/2016/01/sin...
Compared to other foods I ate in Singapore, durian is a little bit different… it’s the only all natural, uncooked, and unprepared, right off the tree delicacy I had. The reason I had to include durian on my must eat list of foods is not only because it’s the King of Fruit and such an amazing natural creation, but also because I’m a bit addicted to durian and I can’t resist any opportunity to eat it.
Combat Durian - Known as Combat Durian because they want you to “come back,” or rather after eating one of their durians you’ll want to come back immediately - or just sleep for a little while and wake up and eat another durian. I showed up in the mid-afternoon, and the durian was all on display and ready to be sold. One of the varieties of durian that Combat is most well known for is Musang King, which in Chinese is called Mao Shan Wang, and in English is called Cat Mountain King. The type of durian is originally from Malaysia, and even the durians sold at Combat are grown in Malaysia on the private farm of the owner of the shop.
Ying and I chose a nice almost 2 kilo durian, which cost me a total of $32 SGD, which is very expensive for a fruit, but after eating it, I can tell you it was definitely worth every dollar. After choosing our fruit and cutting it up, we took a seat at one of the red tables and began to feast.
The lumps of the Musang King durian were very yellow, like butter, and had a waxy shiny skin on each piece. The fruit was perfectly ripe, and it was one of the creamiest things I’ve ever had in my life - like whipped cream, sweet like honey, and with a tinge of a bitterness to contrast it all. It was indeed probably the best durian I’ve ever had in my life. Ying and I sat there in almost near silence, apart from lots of groaning, and finishing off our Mao Shan Wang. The final bite was a little bitter sweet, knowing it was the end, but knowing that I had just consumed one of the best durians I had ever eaten in my life.
Combat Durian
Address: 249 Balestier Rd, Singapore
Open hours: 12 pm - 12 am midnight daily
Prices: For a Mao Shan Wang the price was $20 SGD per kg, and ours cost a total of $32 SGD
How to get there: The closest MRT station in Novena, and I walked from there in about 15 minutes. But alternatively you can jump on bus #154.

Musang King durian originated in a place called Sungai Klau, Raub. The creator Ah Fook Gor grafted his 1st Musang King varient 33 years ago. The best Musang Kings are within the 1st to 3rd generation grafting which could only be found in Raub. Subsequent generations grown in other areas are diluted and the MK taste is diluted.

You have to get past the smell to enjoy it. It's just about the only thing I have ever seen make Andrew Zimmern gag, which greatly surprised me, cause I have seen him eat stuff that's much worse.

So to cool it down, you pour some water into one of the skin compartment and drink straight from there like a cup. The skin has the cooling factor that everyone need after eating durian. Have fun!

In malaysia , there are names we call like people like mark and myself , that goes crazy for durian. its "Hantu durian" . cant get enough of this stuff, ^_^

Everyone does really
Mark, im from Penang & i would like to recommend you to try the BLACK THORN DURIAN. Ur gonna find it way way better than musang king/udang merah.
That first bite into that massive kidney shaped portion looked almost orgasmic. I've never heard of the stuff, but despite its repitation of smelling worse than fermented garbage, it's a bucket list item.

Just like me couldnt stand the truffle smell.
I wanna try that durian! Must head back to Singapore.... drooling 🤤
I personally prefer 101 than Musang King tbh. I always dine at the stall for 101 durian and enjoyed it just the way you did. Now you made me want one haha!

No,the best durian in the world is Kan Yao from Nonthaburi,Thailand.It's only sell for The Royal Family and Billionaire.Even 30 years ago the price is 1000 USD.I have try once and god taste be like that.The soil fertility of Nonthaburi is the best.That why it taste really good.They can only produce for 30 durians per year. you have to reserve for about 2-3 years atleast.
