I really enjoy the taste of durian, but it’s hard to find fresh durian in the midwest United States. Finally, I found an Asian market in my current city that sells them! Most of my friends don’t enjoy the taste or the smell, but there’s just something unique and special about the taste. The store I found even has durian popsicles, for a quick frozen treat. They’re delicious and actually made with durian pulp.

As to your question as to what others think it tastes like, it reminds me of a combination of bananas and nuts. My first durian-opening was a fun experience, and I keep one of the seeds as a memento.

Back in Malaysia, we used to keep the leftover durians in the fridge. Imagine the smell when you opened it :O

You should be able to find frozen durians in Asian grocery stores in the Midwest. I saw them very often when I lived there.

They sell frozen durian? I’d like to try that! I live in the middle of the U.S., so I’ve never tried one.

I luv durians, eating frozen durian is still better than none, its like eating ice cream, I read exported thai durians are cultivated so that they can actually further ripen after being picked! hooray !

hi to all! i’ve discovered a durian orchard in Pengkalan Kempas (off Port Dickson) in Malaysia. It serves the BEST varieties of durian species available in Malaysia. It’s really great to be feasting on the best durian fresh from the farm! The price is reasonable, and the orchard owner’s got a great personality, taking time to explain to us the ways to enjoying the best durian. here at http://mydurianking.blogspot.com will give you more info about this lovely durian orchard. The only set back is the season starts in June.

Its smell is very good to me.

I just tried a durian for the very 1st time, I bought it frozen from a market in Alhambra, CA, USA. To me it taste like a combination of a banana and an orange. A very different.

Here's to your tingling taste bud -

--->Durian Tembaga [CLICK]<---

This is a wild species from Sarawak; this one, I came across in Sibu, last week. Probably by now, it's cultivated.

It has a honey like sweetness, stinks less and which tempts you to a feast.

The flesh has a distinctive copperlike color, hence Durian Tembaga. This picture makes it look more like golden color! Season's on now and finishes by December end.

Oh my goodness DURIAN! LOL
I love the taste, oh ok put the terrible smell at a side… but I love durian a lot…1st trial was durian from Sipitang, its a WOWW…I fell in love…LOL
Then durian from Segamat…double WOWW…
I love sambal (durian) tempoyak from Raub, this type of sambal really boost up my appetite…Sambal should be alrite to bring home but I’m not willing to bring the whole fruit inside the house (smell will stay a week or so),will eat at park/playground or at the dusun durian itself…or at the road side next to the stall…
Cheerrzz to all durian lovers!
