To open a durian, look at the natural lines at the bottom of the fruit. If the fruit is ripe and not frozen... It will be pretty easy to open the durian. Pry open the durian based on the line and spread it open using your fingers as hard as you can. You don't need to use a knife all the way. Wear a glove and put a piece of cloth underneath the durian as you pry it open so that it doesn't slip and probably cause injury to you.
that is the wrong way to open durian, the easiest way is to puncture, crack, and crank the bottom off the durian. there's a star shaped spike on the bottom of the durian, that is the weakness point.
Frankly speaking, most durians in Asian markets in North America and East Asia came from Thailand (which were harvested 10 days before they ripen). Malaysian durians(rare to get them overseas) were allowed to drop from the trees naturally and therefore taste better. The downside is, it must be packed asap to be exported to China. And in the tropical heat, we must eat it 3 days after it drops from the tree. So they are pretty fresh when you go to a stall selling them. This is the main difference between a Malaysian fruit and those of Thailand's. Malaysians seldom consume Thai durians as we have the best durians in South East Asia. In fact Durians found in Singapore comes from Malaysia.
another tip. You can mix it with ice cream if you like. plain/vanilla is better. Many people selling ice cream durian in south asia as a street food. Some people also eat durian as the filling cream for their pancake.
It seem maybe your cat want to taste the durian too.. Back in our grandfather days, when durian season came; tigers will pay visits to durian farm to eats durian. Our old folks always be carefully when collecting fallen durians. Yes, tigers do love durian here in Malaysia and Thailand.
I tried my first durian a week ago, and I got another last night to have for dinner-ate with mangosteen-“The Queen of Fruit-“ (good to eat with Durian, as it cools you down, while Durian heats you up.) I did have to get the mangosteen canned, though. Ugh. I’m in the US. Anyway, I totally love durian. As much as I love the ones I can get here, which are kept frozen to ship (the ones I can get are from Thailand), I’ll bet I’d absolutely go nuts if I ever got to try a fresh one! So many bad reaction videos-glad to see yours! A LOT of us westerners love durian, too! Edited to add: the tip about opening the durian (a comment on here) is good. I just use a steak knife, put it kind of at an angle on the end of the fruit without the stem (the durians I’ve tried have a pattern on the end; it doesn’t look like a star to me), then just twist it about a quarter turn, as if it’s a screwdriver, you know, then the seams split open pretty well, and I can open the sections with my hands. USA *really* needs to get more durians. I’m already sad the growing season is short!!
Hi Kyja...the frozen durians is nice but the durians that just fall from the tree is epic!!!...In Perak, Malaysia there is an Research Centre in Kuala Kangsar, Perak that have verieties of local fruits and you can eat durians...all you can eat for RM50...around USD13 for local...not sure for tourist but it is still cheap...Message if you and your family are coming over to Malaysia!!!
Americans (and Canadians) always get it wrong when they attempt to open a durian. I have seen people use keys to puncture the sides. You do not cut the sides first. You turn it over to the back and cut the part without the thorns. Follow the lines created by God and nature because this is to avoid cutting the fruits inside. The lines are the divider of the pods. Anyway, nowadays you do have tutorials to open a durian fruit. Otherwise, you will either hurt yourself or get frustrated and tired opening an exotic fruit. Do not destroy the fruit before eating it. (From an amazed Malaysian)
Hi Kyja, do come to Penang, Malaysia. In here we have the most expensive Durian and very high quality. But not only Durian in here, Penang have a lot of food that you can try it. See ya..
Haha.. you are trying to cut open a frozen durian! You have to let it thaw a bit! These fruit have been used as weapons in asia! Great stuff, smells like hell, tastes like heaven.
Hi there. You cut it in a wrong way. You should stab the knife at the bottom spot for few inches. Move the knife to the left & right, back & forth until it shows the cracking line. Then you can pull it open easily. Good luck for the next chance :)
how I open a durian is I lay the durian on the floor on it's side then I place a wooden block on top then press against it until the bottom of the durian splits open then I just pry it open using the split at the bottom
The durian doesn't look ripe enough. Get a ripe one. The texture will be softer. chill it in the fridge for a few hours and it will taster better. Will smell better too.
It's wrong to cut in that "line" since it is the wall that divides the part where the pods are... Make a shallow cut between those lines instead or the part where you can see bulky..
Use the tip to penetrate. Also split from the rear end. If you ever eat durian again, go for the best Musang King. It is expensive but worth every cent. Thai durian has alot less smell and rather bland.
his knife must be sharper again to cut the durian, his taste would like to invite you to eat durian together, it's the favorite fruit of Indonesia people
You should google first to know how to open it, there a bunch a video can show you about durian, I'm happy to see you eating that fruit, musang king is the best type of durian you should try..it from malaysia.
tbh i didnt like it for the first time lol and yet after second try, just cant stop eating it lool....the best one is called Mao Shan Wang, and if u eat them right after they are falling...... completely different taste...just the best haha can i steal ur kitty? lol...too cute
wrong cut(must cut from the bottom of the fruit durian) in Indonesia u should try Durian Medan(it's called) different taste with durian thailand(bangkok). no 1 durian indoneaia is durian medan. u must try .
by the way..u cut it the wrong way baby. u should poke the top side of it. then by using bare hands, u separate the opening from left n right sides. that's how u handle durians.
That's certainly not the right way to open a durian fruit my dear.Stab the bottom center of the durian with a sharp tough knife and twist the knife until the durian shell open along the line.
You are opening a durian completely wrong. You start by inserting the sharp forward cutting edge of a small cleaver into any of the star-shaped lines at the base of the fruit and pry and it will split upwards along the line. Not much strength required at all.
tht cat trying to eat tht durian.. haha.. durian hve difference taste.. some more bitter.. sweet.. cream.. i love durian very2 much.. just cut the bottom line durian two line n u will easily open it..

I don't know that eating durian can be this elegant. Some very new to me.

Sounds great! Thanks again! :)
cat , dog , tiger, orang utan, elephant, all of them loves durian too
Star shaped marking on bottom. Use a sharper knife and slice just the bottom- twistin a little to crack it and then you pry open the pods.
It seem maybe your cat want to taste the durian too.. Back in our grandfather days, when durian season came; tigers will pay visits to durian farm to eats durian. Our old folks always be carefully when collecting fallen durians. Yes, tigers do love durian here in Malaysia and Thailand.
That's really interesting :)
it sends you dizzy regarding in smells. the sweetest of them all was the egg yolk like color and super creamy feels like yogurt.
when you taste the fresh peel of durian you'll go crazy it. there so much verity of durian that have delicious taste especially when the season came.

It's much easier to open a durian from the star which you can see at the bottom of the durian.

Durian is very popular in here, people love it but it can't even stand it. I always go away when my dad and brothers eat that.
It's wrong to cut in that "line" since it is the wall that divides the part where the pods are... Make a shallow cut between those lines instead or the part where you can see bulky..
the best fruit ever exist actually
A Siamese cat I presume. Wants a taste of a Siamese durian huh.
Yes, she is! I think she does haha
Durian the king of fruit

Use the tip to penetrate. Also split from the rear end.
If you ever eat durian again, go for the best Musang King. It is expensive but worth every cent. Thai durian has alot less smell and rather bland.

this is the best fruit in my list
I like it durian 😋
I love Durian so much.... and also Durian seeds. Its can be eaten
Oh really? I didn’t know that
The seeds can be eaten. You need to boil it. But it tastes nothing special, so people don't make much fuss about it
i can see the soft fruit inside
:)
😍😍
😍😍😍😍
try other durian variaty . i like it, it's taste so sweet. some are little bitter.
King of fruit... :)
When you open a durian, one should have started at the bottom.
Oh Dear, you are killing the King of fruits...lol
buah yang paling enak,,, dari buah yang ada,,,
😁😁😁😁😁
You don't seem to know how to open durian fruit. Have to ask sellers how. But you look amazing.
It was a struggle! Haha thank you :)
Come to Malaysia and try the fresh durian.
I like durian 😃
มีดทู่มากๆ หามีดที่คมๆกว่านี้หน่อย แบบนี้เนื้อทุเรียนเสียหมด แต่คนผ่าน่าร้าาาาาก
Nice try for the first time .But im sure you will like it.
You should google first to know how to open it, there a bunch a video can show you about durian, I'm happy to see you eating that fruit, musang king is the best type of durian you should try..it from malaysia.
All the Asians are furious !
Hate the smell but love the taste...
Wooow
tbh i didnt like it for the first time lol and yet after second try, just cant stop eating it lool....the best one is called Mao Shan Wang, and if u eat them right after they are falling...... completely different taste...just the best haha can i steal ur kitty? lol...too cute
wrong cut(must cut from the bottom of the fruit durian) in Indonesia u should try Durian Medan(it's called) different taste with durian thailand(bangkok). no 1 durian indoneaia is durian medan. u must try .
If you are in Kuala Lumpur, call me. I will take you out for dinner.... Eating Durian! ;)
Can you get durian in the U.S.?
Yes! I got mine at my local farmer's market :) you just have to do some research to see where they might carry them near you.
belah durenn, mantab, hehehe
You cut it wrong ! It is so easy to open the durian cover. Find the seam
by the way..u cut it the wrong way baby. u should poke the top side of it. then by using bare hands, u separate the opening from left n right sides. that's how u handle durians.
it's better if we eat fresh Durian.
I think the taste just like ice cream.
I'll have to try it fresh next time :)
Please don't freeze and ir tastes like bubble gum to me....you're very cute....keep em coming
By far, you are the most beautiful lady that I have seen on RUclips opening a durian, but not the proper way to open one.
you have to try indonesian durian, it taste stronger
Favorit fruit my brother
Try the ice cream version of it
Sounds good!
That's certainly not the right way to open a durian fruit my dear.Stab the bottom center of the durian with a sharp tough knife and twist the knife until the durian shell open along the line.
Wonderful Indonesia 🇮🇩👍
hi, do you know that if you eat too much you'll probably get tipsy too. Great video reaction and review.
Thanks for the tip and thank you for the compliment! :)
Saya suka sekali buah durian 😜
cute..:-)
Her durians almost pop out lol
You are opening a durian completely wrong. You start by inserting the sharp forward cutting edge of a small cleaver into any of the star-shaped lines at the base of the fruit and pry and it will split upwards along the line. Not much strength required at all.
Obviously it is unripe. Search for those branded durians such as Musang King in Msia which taste much better than this
tht cat trying to eat tht durian.. haha.. durian hve difference taste.. some more bitter.. sweet.. cream.. i love durian very2 much.. just cut the bottom line durian two line n u will easily open it..
I'm so worry when i see you trying to cut the durian fruit.
บ้านอยู่ไหนครับ จะส่งไปให้กิน
Do you like it? Love it?
I enjoyed it! I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I'd love to try it again and try more varieties :)
