Since Nathan like durian, you all can try a trick where you wrap it with a plastic wrap (so that the refrigerator does not have durian smell) and put the durian into the refrigerator for about one and half hour(not the freezer). After that you can take it out and eat it. The taste will be better. So guys enjoy.

You've explored the outskirts of KL and the food there.

Also, of course the amazing islands/beaches here (e.g. Perhentian, Redang), Kota Kinabalu, Genting Highlands ;)

My mum hated it until she met my dad. Now she’s happily eating it! My sister is picky with food except durian! Since It’s seasonal fruit , for those who love it it’s divine to enjoy it during durian season. The texture is soft in general. Taste is like combination of creamy, sweet and bitter! Personally If someone around u eat it, You’d better eat it too to be used to. Or else can’t handle the smell!

The reason why it is expensive is because those are hybrids thus the more consistent quality but also it's a silly big city practice whereby durians are weighed and is unfair because obviously you don't eat the spiky shell which you're also paying for 😂 however you can't argue that anymore because it's widely accepted now. Whereas in small towns or villages they would sell durians in its whole quantity. In my hometown it can cost RM10-12 but the fruit is just slightly smaller yet the flesh can be just as big as the ones you're holding. Some people like firm flesh some like it mushy but always avoid most frozen ones because they're usually not ripe and they're as hard as an apple's flesh. Good job anyway!

great video! and really optimistic in trying out the durian! thumbs up to that! i've been eating durian since young. The next time you have your chance to be in that same place where you shoot this video..ask them to introduce you to all types of durian. from squishy to solid flesh. from bitter to plain and milky to savory sweet flesh. I guess by now you'd notice that the smell will stick on your fingers or around your mouth if you have contact with it. its easy to get rid of of smell, simply run through some water along the husk of the durian and drink the water. as for your hands, rub anything against aluminium (its the same method as getting rid of garlic smell on your hands). its mythical but it works! nevertheless, awesome effort!

Different type of durians will have its own distinguished taste. Like the one you tasted XO is known for the bitter taste (while it is still custardly sweet). Other types like Musang King is mostly sweet. You can ask the seller on the taste, but to simplify, it's usually either bitter or sweet. Good luck and enjoy your time in Malaysia!

I was curious to try Durian as I had mixed feelings from people who I had spoken to. So when I went to live in Singapore I managed to pluck enough courage to try it out for my self. I think if you buy a good variety like Musan king it tastes pretty good. The texture is quite difficult to get used to for me, and generally speaking I think it was much better than I anticipated. One thing that still puts me off though is the smell on the breath even hours after eating it specially after burps ( not nice!), but otherwise it’s all good.

When I grew to adulthood someone described the taste to me like creamy vanilla custard so then my curiosity was piqued to try it... now I LOVE DURIAN!!!

Durian is the sort of fruit you either love or hate, there is no middle ground. I happen to love it to bits. I would describe durian as nature's custard, given the texture, consistency and sweetness of the flesh. If you've tried it and don't seem to hate or feel repulsed by it, there is a high chance that you will really grow to love it the more you eat it. As a durian lover, I perceive the smell of the fruit as really fragrant and sweet, and don't get how newbies or haters think that it stinks. Depending on the species of durian, the level of sweetness, acidity, fragrance, thickness and color of the flesh varies. The ones picked out for you should be really good :)
