Do you have any considerations on visiting DPRK, it'd be especially fitting for Bald lol. There's basically just sensationalized vlogs atm, but has great value when filmed in your guys' style!
this is a little dramatic guys. I'm a foreigner and the first time I tried Durian, I found the smell a bit strong but also musky sweet. In the west - and especially in the UK - we have a lot of things that smell and sometimes taste a lot worse that people eat every day. An old goat cheese with honey is very comparable - it's pungent, spicy, creamy and sweet at the same time. Which is exactly what Durian is. It's vanilla, custard, cream, tropical fruit and spicy onion juice together with a smell that indeed is something to get used to. However nowhere is it called 'disgusting' or 'garbage fruit', maybe among some backpackers who only eat mcdonalds and takeaway stuff. If this video was about Noni, it would have been realistic. Alas, it's about one of the most sought after fruits in all of S-E asia, including China. Make this video again, grow up and then try Noni fruit. Then you'll go back to Durian and understand why you were just being dramatic :)
This is so insane! Im from Sweden and i found durian to be the most delicious edible piece of thing that a human can consume. Better than any pastry imo! but well, i also love surströmming. It might be a correlation...
Durian have many varieties, which is why some taste great while others taste somewhat foul to most, just like cheese. And just like cheese, each varieties have their own fans. The cheese analogy even extend to its smell in that it smell bad to those who are unfamiliar with it but once you like durian, it somehow smell like the best thing in the world. Not sure about surstromming though, lol.
Hospitality was there because they were over-charging the fruits tenfold! 😅 If you don't know the prices in Vietnam get ready to pay 5-10 times more than real price...
@@BackpackerBen if you drink after eating durian, it can kill you, right? That’s what I was told out in Malaysia, Thailand etc. so I never got the chance.
Helps to think of Durians as wine. A tasting of various kinds reveals subtle changes in taste and texture. There are differences between durians grown in different areas let alone countries. And then there are the different types themselves. It's best done in a small group to maximise variety Perhaps next time try it with an experienced local and learn why many are passionate about the fruit. BTW many experts advise not to drink alcohol while consuming durians due to the risk of the combination giving an adverse reaction. Enjoy and great video
That wasnt a lychee, but its family, called rambutan. Derived from the Malay word, 'rambut' which means hair. That goes the same with durian, as in 'duri' means thorn 😁
It's amazing how lovely the people are; so polite, patient, and friendly, even with a major language barrier. As for durian, if you have a preconceived notion of it tasting horrible, you won't enjoy it. It's a delicacy all over S.E. Asia and it IS delicious. Try it in shakes, mochi, pastries, and even plain. Savor the taste and texture, NOT the smell.
Durian & Mangosteen are my 2 favourite fruits to eat when travelling in SE Asia. Not sure if he's just putting it on for the camera, or whether he genuinely finds it not to be bland enough for his British palate. It surprises me that he then likes the custard apple, which I find to be similar in texture to durian. Try some mangosteen if you haven't already Ben.
@@Sniperboy5551 i think he peeled a section of it off. You can see it a bit peeled off. No way he would enjoy the skin. It's a rambutan, even the seller said it.
i didn't think durian was that bad the first time i tried it. some are more stinky than others, there are different species. the best i had was in cameron highlands. funnily enough, i'll be there again in 4 days. i'll probably make a durian vlog too :)
10:56 - that is not a 'Lychee', that is a 'Rambutan' fruit. 'Rambut' means hair in the Malay/Indonesian language hence the 'Rambut'an... oh and also, Durian also comes from Malay/Indonesian word of 'Duri' which means 'thorn'.
Backpacker Ben, cool video, im a Bald and Bankrupt subscriber and have seen you and him on different adventures. I wasn't sure what your channel was until just now. You got another subscriber now. Happy holidays, bud!
@@BackpackerBen C'mon Ben, you're a BIG girl's blouse mate, durian ain't that bad, I quite enjoy it though I don't exactly crave it....jackfruit is pretty good, the REAL "Juicy Fruit" taste!!!
Mr. Backpacker Ben, though the ladies from the market were quite welcoming and peeled fruits for you, for 70.000 VND in Vietnam you can normally buy 2Kg of fruit not only one piece of fruit! 😂 Though Durian is everywhere expensive, they also make ice cream with it and biscuits. In Vietnam you need to know the prices and always haggle a bit, good luck on your further journeys.
You didn't try Mangosteen (the purple round one, with white flesh inside) which is seriously delicious. Sort of tastes like the best aspects of orange and banana combined. Custard Apple (aka Cherimoya) is actually pretty widely available in the UK and Europe in my experience. It's native to South America but also grown in Spain and Portugal.
Your reaction to eating the durian was priceless! I am not a big fan of it either, but if you can get past the smell, it's not bad. But there are other fruits I prefer, like the rambutans (not lychee) you were eating. Great vlog, thanks for sharing.
Durian is absolutely delicious and smells fantastic. It's actually a bit like vegemite in Australia. You either love it or hate it. Living in Thailand it's the same. Some love durian and some hate it. There's no in between. Rambutan not lychee.
Love these guys 😍 Great content, even with the gagging 😅 You both remind me of the Mucklowes on "This Country" backpacker Ben is Kurtain and Bald is Martin 😆 ❤️
That hairy fruit is not Lychee , but Ramboutan . The Custard Apple has another name : Atemoya in South America The Durian is considered as the king of fruits in SEA , especially in Malaysia and Thailand
Excellent video Ben! I hope to see more like this you make a good food vlogger man! I have no freakin clue how bald ate that durian vomit like it was a tasty cheeseburger or something! Lol
as one of the huge bald fans i love watching the other side of his videos when he travels with people... enjoyed your journey just as much as i did his and now ive subbed looking forward to your older content and new, cheers from australia... ; )
I don't think these videos, or anyone else's could ever be on a par with Bald's. Rhia dude doesn't have much between his ears.. If it wasn't for Bald..... 🙄
@@swampy1234 dont know who rhia dude is but yeah bald is bald but i still like seeing bald in a different view other than his own, total different guy.. ; )
Thanks for showing Ho Chi Minh to Market. Is that Ben Thanh market? I've been there in 1997 & 2004, how time flies it's now 25 & 18 years later! And how the topography of the city has changed. I no longer recognized the simple landmarks before! Covered by new buildings and establishments. The cashews and nuts I bought there were big and so delicious! Durian is not that bad just don't smell it so much. The texture is a combination of boiled sweet potato and chesa (the dark orange-yellow fruit with a pointed bottom). The small red with skin horns like the bigger dragon fruit is called RAMBUTAN. Lychee has smooth, light shade of yellow skin color. The many seeds Custard Apple or Sweetsop is called locally ATIS in the Philippines.
Hi Ben, do you ever get sad when a trip ends or do you just take the memories and look forward to your next trip? Your avid subscriber, Nick Mansfield UK 🇬🇧 👍
A great presentation! Durian is a horrible fruit. Although it is creamy and sweet, the sulfurous smell and its acidic character disturbs one´s stomach. What you have forgotten to try were the Longan fruits next to you, which also taste like Rambutan and Lychee. The custard apple is named Chrimoya in South America. And the dragon fruit with the purple-pink fruit-pulp instead of the white one is also great.
10:43 It is rambutan not lychee. It is a sweet soury fruit. Just avoid biting to close to the seed because the sticky skin of the seed is pretty bitter.
I am a Westerner that loves Durian. 😊 Never thought to put the two together but I also have a pretty weak sense of smell. hehe, maybe that is a major reason why I was able to enjoy it so much.
Hi Ben, That was priceless to see that show was unreal. Bald is the man like most things that smell bad but taste good and you guys aren't eating bugs scorpions, or crickets.
Commentary is not the greatest but I like the chill vibe. Good vlogs to watch while multi tasking because it's not overlypacked with informations or content, not dense. It has a natural feel to it.
We used to have a large custard apple tree in our garden in Queensland, Australia when I was a child. I loved it. Nobody believed such a fruit existed when we went to the UK. I just don't enjoy fruit in the UK but eat loads if I am abroad. Don't know what we do to it but the texture and taste is different. We struggle to get even nice vegetables in North Wales. They just aren't fresh enough.
Anyone near lakeside in essex, or even just over the river in Kent; there's a big Asian supermarket called longdan just opened in lakeside retail park. Here you can find durian, as well as lot of plant based foods, and obscure meats and animals like octopus and various testicles
hahaha I love durian. Either you love it or you hate it and nothing in between.. My sister hates so much (the only one in the family) and she would ran into her room and lock herself shut in
Thanks for sharing your video durian fruits very delicious fruits to eat why alot of western peoples is so crazy about durian fruits is delicious smells good too expensive here in Canada 🇨🇦 i can eat any day just eat don't complain about the smell is smells good the Asian fruits is always the best take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
Wow guys you are hilarious and brave at least Ben you give decent tips to the locals much respect. I didn't know if I would ever subscribe to your channel but I think I will anyways both of you have fun out there be safe. Oh and Merry Christmas to both of you
I have never heard litchi pronounced quite the way Ben and Bald say it before. I also love dragon fruit but it is quite expensive in my country so I don't often buy it. Next maybe take a page out of Harold's book and try a bit of snake?
If you are a traveller and want to keep it budget tight, do not go to this market 😂 it is often more exspensive cus it is famous and there are a lot of foreigners here! Try to look for a more local one (the one where few people know english 😂)
There is a place in my hometown (small town full of Amish people in Northern Indiana in the US) that makes Pho, and they have smoothies and Durian is on the list of available smoothies. Its not always in stock, but when it is, I ALWAYS get a Durian smoothie. It is good as a smoothie, and I am sure the coldness of it takes a lot away from the smell. Something that tastes like crap would be more palatable if it werent served warm and steamy, or room temperature, is my thought process. The coldness at least creates a little bit of mental separation. Of course, I dont think it tastes like crap, that is just the reaction most people have. Maybe that is why my experience is different with it.
@lowda9 I was dying to try it ever since I saw Andrew Zimmern try (and fail) to eat it on 3 different occasions. I almost jumped out of my skin in excitement when I saw it on the menu lol
The Grab trip costs 42k, he paid 100k. The fruits price cost 290k, he gave the lady 500k. Hi Ben, next time you visit Vietnam, I would love to be your personal ‘trực ban’ tour guide 😂
OH MY LANTA!!! Why on God’s green earth would you eat that and what do they use it for? I have to admit I snorted a little while laughing at the reaction from Ben. Bald you my friend are not human for eating all of that 😂 Also Ben you are starting to grow on me. It took me a bit to get used to you but your a hit now. Blessings from Oklahoma🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Custard apple (cherimoya) is delicious! I used to work on the fruit and veg section of my local Tesco and would buy them whenever they were available. You should try Chikoos. They are these small brown fruits found in India, Central America and other places which have a fudge/brown sugar flavour to them.
Have you ever tried lychees at a party with them on the buffet and in the dark with the disco lights going? I love pickles, and years ago I went along the buffet picking up sandwiches, pork pies, sausages, crisp ETC. Then I saw the BIG PICKLES in a dish and so I stuck four on my plate and went and sat down. Then I realized what Lychees are, as they are more like a sweet syrupy taste. (I thought they were pickles in vinegar so put some juice on my plate). So all my other stuff on the plate were covered in Lychee juice. I Learnt my lesson that night, I think I would have preferred the vomit fruit 🤣🤣🤣 All my sandwiches and pies and so on were SWEET 🤦♂🤦♂
big shout out to Mr Bald for putting himself through this just for my video! not many would do that let me tell ya
Well he deserves a Desi daaru after this ....
Please tell bald ... Indian Desi daaru is missing him ...
Love to bald from India :)

really enjoyed this episode :D well done Bens & well done Vietnam !! I will surely visit VN thanks to you!!!! xxx
Really enjoyed this, thanks. I lived for years in various SE Asian countries and never ate durian - You helped to solidify that decision.
I bet you lived there for the young 🐱
That stuff burns a hole in my gut.

You should try the real Vomit fruit called Noni fruit.
That wasnt a lychee, but its family, called rambutan. Derived from the Malay word, 'rambut' which means hair. That goes the same with durian, as in 'duri' means thorn 😁
So they ate a hair LOL
Yeah, they have a slightly different taste as well. I love combining them into a Belgian Trippel when they are in season.

Was Ben eating a lychee whole? Wtf is he up to? I love lychee aka the white flesh of it, but the skin would make it pretty unappetizing for me.
My two favourite fruits also, I’m from Scotland. I’m so confused by his reaction, makes it out to be such a terrible experience 😂
He truly despise it. He used to have it back in 2019 in Malaysia, and had the similar reaction 🤣🤣🤣

Also depend on the ripeness. The smell isn’t bad, it is the ripeness texture of the fruit.

@lowda9 I was dying to try it ever since I saw Andrew Zimmern try (and fail) to eat it on 3 different occasions. I almost jumped out of my skin in excitement when I saw it on the menu lol
Great video. I loved it.
Thank you! 🤮😆
I think I have tasted Durian Fruit thru your reaction. Ben... Dragon fruit looks Amazing
The one with red hairy fruit. It's not lychee, it's called rambutan.
The Grab trip costs 42k, he paid 100k. The fruits price cost 290k, he gave the lady 500k. Hi Ben, next time you visit Vietnam, I would love to be your personal ‘trực ban’ tour guide 😂
OH MY LANTA!!! Why on God’s green earth would you eat that and what do they use it for? I have to admit I snorted a little while laughing at the reaction from Ben. Bald you my friend are not human for eating all of that 😂 Also Ben you are starting to grow on me. It took me a bit to get used to you but your a hit now. Blessings from Oklahoma🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Lisa Pebly 😌👋
Ben's face is priceless. Very brave guys. Durian??? Thank you, but that'll be a no!
Durian is delicious. One of my favourite fruit.season just ended in the Philippines 😭
Durian is awesome the best fruit ever. I've never seen anyone pick it up wearing a glove before
Lol...well done for not vomiting. The girl tried to tell you the hairy testicle is a rambutan, not a lychee..very similar though.
Custard apple (cherimoya) is delicious! I used to work on the fruit and veg section of my local Tesco and would buy them whenever they were available. You should try Chikoos. They are these small brown fruits found in India, Central America and other places which have a fudge/brown sugar flavour to them.
Pavey 🧐
@@robertpavey5615 Why No ??? Where are you from ?😼🥴
We had plenty of custard apples growing up here in Australia. If you get the chance, try the Monstera Deliciosa. Cheers.
eat the leaves?
Durian is really good fresh, the smell gets better the more you eat it lol
They call bloody rambutan lychi 😂
Kinda similar inside but lychi isn't hairy outside.
Alien Foetus cracked me up....great spontaneous reaction.
Driver. My name is "blah blah blah"
Ben : Your name is what ...Liverpool? "straight face "
EPIC!!!
I hope you explore more south east asian countries theres alot of food you can try there.
I love durians, it's bloody expensive here in Shanghai.
got a cool Liverpool top in there as well
Have you ever tried lychees at a party with them on the buffet and in the dark with the disco lights going?
I love pickles, and years ago I went along the buffet picking up sandwiches, pork pies, sausages, crisp ETC.
Then I saw the BIG PICKLES in a dish and so I stuck four on my plate and went and sat down.
Then I realized what Lychees are, as they are more like a sweet syrupy taste. (I thought they were pickles in vinegar so put some juice on my plate).
So all my other stuff on the plate were covered in Lychee juice.
I Learnt my lesson that night, I think I would have preferred the vomit fruit 🤣🤣🤣
All my sandwiches and pies and so on were SWEET 🤦♂🤦♂
Wow. Eating durian is next level. Respect.
Bald and babushkas so funny 😂 love y’all
