  • Today I will on a mission to try eat the world famous delicacy fruit that is durian! I have never tried this stinky and pungent fruit before but I will try my best to sample some in today's vlog for you! I'm super excited to try this fruit as I have heard many mixed feelings about it from a bunch of people, some saying it's the worst thing they have ever eaten and others saying it's the most delicious and creamist fruit the world has to offer!
    Durian is known for being very expensive, prices can range into the $100 for just the one fruit! I will be buying a small piece so that I can show you an affordable (kind of) durian here in Vientiane, Laos!
    Address: Sihom Fresh Fruits, Rue Hengboun, ວຽງຈັນ
    Opening times: 9AM-9:30PM
    Price: $20-$30 per KG (including shell weight)
    I hope you enjoy the video and have an awesome day!!

    Hey, Dan. If you travel down south to Pakse, those durians are cheaper because they grow them down there.

    I've had it a few times in the Philippines. If you don't dwell on the smell and starting eating it quickly it's actually quite yummy. It's supposed to be very nutritious.

    • @DanvsFood
      @DanvsFood  3 года назад

      I heard it's very nutritious too. But you're right, after the smell goes tje taste buds kick in and I found it quite moreish and addictive. Overall a great fruit 🙂🙂

    Enjoy watching your videos, but this one was one of our favorites! Way to be brave!
    Also, if you want to try some really good Malaysian food, you should try out the restaurant inside of the Redwood Hotel (near That Dam). They serve Malaysian food in the front part until 2:30 pm each day, and it's supposedly the best in town.

    • @DanvsFood
      @DanvsFood  3 года назад +1

      Oh wow, thank you so much for your suggestion. And your kind words. Malaysian food is a cuisine I'm less familiar with so I'll definitely check that place out 🙂🙂

      @@DanvsFood you know, the taste was actually alright. As you pointed out, a bit pricy, I'll stick with the Granny Smith apples haha.
      The smell definitely makes you think it'll be worse than it is. The texture though, when you poke the skin it feels like a raw chicken breast. So weird.
      I saw a Durian McFlurry in Singaporean McDonalds, kinda regret not getting it now!

    • @DanvsFood
      @DanvsFood  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, the flavour's not bad, completely different to the smell.
      Haaa, durian ice-cream just seems wrong though. The yoghurt i had was nasty, but not because of the fruit. I think it was some imitation durian in it..
