Wow it's crazy how many subscribers you have all of a sudden. I remember when you had 1k or less. I remember wishing you luck. You definitely settled into your niche
I wanted to try Black Thorn but it was always out of stock. The most common ones I found in Singapore were D24, Musang King, MSW (D197), Golden Bun, Kampung and Darling.
I am so happy I discovered this channel, it is so interesting! I've been binging it for a few days now and have been so interested in trying all these different fruits.
@@briaravioli3542 It's like a grapefruit with none of the bitter taste I don't like and with all the stuff it normally has that I do like. It's definitely a winner in my book.
Hi from Malaysia! i have 8 cats and two of them craaazy for durian. they'll go gaga whenever they smell durian in the house, so I'm forced to share with them 😅
The size of the durian seed indicate the age of the tree... the smaller seed, the older tree. In Malaysia, durian from older tree are sought after for better taste and texture.
I had this box 3 weeks ago. I was inspired by your first box from YearOfTheDurian. I would recommend people try the fruit. Yes it smells, but it is good. YearOfTheDurian is a good company.
@@benny_lemon5123 don't, it's expensive and disgusting and there's a chance you'll end up vomiting. I've tried it as candy, ice cream, cookie and fresh in Thailand and the Philippines. It's never good. My wife was a teacher in the Philippines and gave it to some of her Korean students and 2 threw up. Stop trying to like it and just eat a fruit that's good.
@@SolarAbyss the boxes might be expensive but not leaving nasty comments like this costs $0. Example: I have eaten avocado and gotten sick from it, yet the number of *anti avocado comments i leave on videos praising the nuances of avocado is none* (weird i must be doing this wrong somehow lmao) Or maybe, just maybe, you could stop acting like a piece of walmart toilet paper and serving only to spread your sh_t around unnecessarily because frick man, we're all already having a bad time. We don't need help from folks like yourself.
If you eat it cooled from a fridge the taste gets even better. I had my best at Langkawi. There is a fruit store at the promenade of pentai cenang. They had the freshest durian I encountered in all of Malaysia, great Rambutan and amazing Mangostan.
As a classically trained chef I can easily see spending the cash. However my mixologist would need to create a few twenty dollar cocktails around the fruit and the same for pastries. The outlay would generate interest for customers along with perhaps a learning opportunity. I myself have attempted to enjoy the fruit only to be relegated to the same culinary frown as the Brussels sprout....I gave up trying. Thanks...I live I learn...you are magnificent.
@Mark Heller: Mebbe you just haven't had Brussels sprouts cooked properly. Get them as fresh as you can, drizzle with really good quality extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle lightly with Kosher sea salt, roast in a 400 degree F-preheated oven for about 30 minutes, and eat as soon as they're cool enough to hold in the mouth.
@@markheller197: If you're looking to go more adventurous, you can pan-fry the halves with some onions and bacon. Again, only use top quality ingredients.
Is durian no longer available in Chinatown in NYC? I remember the place on Elizabeth St was not so bad. But I imagine this is much better......mmmmm..... Around 15 years ago I left a durian in a garbage bin at a recording studio in Dumbo. The building was evacuated and the firefighters were called to hack down the door of the studio thinking it was an oil leak. Sadly, this and another durian incident caused the owner of the studio to cut ties with me. It was awhile ago and I am still a bit sad about this. But I do love durian. Thanks for sharing this wonderful opportunity!
Lay Chye Tan totally agree it’s like having rotten potatoes to yellow ripened fresh picked & delicious ones! You just can’t compare green crunchy wet & off Durian to fresh delicious tree Jewels! Even the cheapest $1 Durian are 1000% better than frozen horrible underripe monthong! I’ve had some super delicious frozen Durian in 1 particular place which are premium level.
@@organicgrow4440 there are regional preferences too. In South east asia, most people like the naturally riped ones with a hint of bitterness. but In Thailand they mostly like unriped ones. But getting badly handled durians and not eating it in the best way is the thing that " grind my gears".
Greetings from the UK's Lake District. I was wondering if you had tried blackites also known as brambles (Rubus fruticosus) they grow wild in copious amounts where I live from June too November, along with wild apples they are usually made into fruit crumbles. It's common too boil them as they are usually bitter straight from the plant
I love your content never stop please. You've introduced me to a whole other world as ive lived most of my life in the US and even when i did live out of it I never experienced any of the fruits you showcase.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel! I’m a barista trying to expand my flavor palette so I can explain flavor notes in espresso better, so this is definitely a valuable resource. Have you tried quenepas or guanabana yet? They’re both very popular fruit here in Puerto Rico, I definitely recommend you try them sometime.
Awesome video again! I like how you are becoming a durian connoisseur, who whould have guessed? Also, I like to see how your superpower (describing taste experiences) is challenged to the max when trying these durians. Thanks for making these, the respect for fruit and taste you have is comforting to watch :) (and I'm a bit jealous of all the amazing fruit you get to eat ;)) bye!
Please try candy heart grapes. They are super sweet, it's not to be underestimated. I was so blown away with how sweet they are. They taste more like cotton candy than cotton candy grapes by a long shot. I am addicted to these things. I have already replaced candy with them
My man! U have done the deed of tasting the good quality durian using the best methods available now. I have nothing else on durian to advise U on but my love for fruits will always be here awaiting uploads from your channel!
I think, other than taste and quality, that makes a fruit more expensive, could be related to the rarity and also the amount of work it takes to grow a specific type. Thanks for another great video, and excellent descriptions of taste. :)
Musky mango lol, your descriptiveness slays me Jared. I’ve been away for a while (had a stroke a while ago) but I’m getting better and I can’t wait to see more videos. Kudos, keep up the good work!
You’ve come a long way from Penang episode, for a person who doesn’t like durian much. 😅 You’ve made progress and peace with durian. I am waiting for the time you make peace with chempedak. Try fry the fruit yourself with your own batter or fritter recipe maybe?
if you want to try the sweetest of the durian, try Taukeh, it's one of the sweetest fruits I've had. If you want to try the creamiest, then I'd recommend Lipan (Centipede) it's like eating ice cream, with the perfect balance of sweetness and savory. If you like a not sweet but bitter variety, try the original XO durian. It smells like whisky and is bitter.
what would make a durian expensive in Malaysia according to me 1. Thick flesh with small seed and good texture, not too firm and not too mushy 2. Intense - a proportionate mix of bitter and sweet 3. Alcoholic like - they make you laugh when you're eating and tipsy afterwards, sometimes you even get feverish
I’m going to a Malay Durian Event today here in Syd Aus! Can’t wait to have some delicious Musang! It’s the next best thing to have after fresh in Asia. Other than having the small limited local Durian.
Hey Jared, have you tried checkers/chequers (sorbus torminalis)? Apparently it's a fruit that was popular in medieval times. The youtuber "atomic shrimp" made videos about collecting and tasting them. I just saw online that they only grow in Europe, unfortunately.
Ah, Vostok and her shenanigans. The video was really interesting regarding your descriptions of the flavor, but Vostok's interest in getting scritches was the cherry on top :D.
I remember the first time that I tasted coconut rolls with the taste of Durian. Yeah. It was kind of onion-y and sweet. I'm curious about the the fruit and how it tastes as is.
Since cats rubbing their faces on things is marking them with their scent glands, I wonder if Vostok’s reaction was more like... “Wow, that smells funny! But you know what it could smell like? Me.”
Hi, I love your vids, you should try Gabiroba berry(campomanesia xanthocarpa) on your weird fruits series, its from the campomanesia genre, and its the same Family as guavas, they are amazing, they can be found in the latin american countries like Uruguay,Argentina and Brazil, they are only sold in their season (even tough i don't see much people selling it in Brazil, I only saw the bushes when i was younger) and try not to eat it when it isn't ripe, they taste wierd when not ripen.
To me its just fascinating how nature produces these weird looking/colourful fruits with their unique tastes. I wonder if you could make a top 10 on the rarest fruits (in general or youve reviewed yourself)
🙀cat astropy! Guess that means more for you😋 great review. Better get my order into Linda before December and forget about this drinking year and enjoy the black thorn variety . 🤑🤤
damn man, ive been a fruit lover all my life and so is my son. I love the content and would love to do what you do. As soon as i found the channel it was like a light bulb went off in my head. it never occurred to me to do what you do. Love it!
You’re channel always makes me wish I could be in Jakarta (where some of my family is from) so I could get good durian. The stuff in California is just so so.
in msia. the young and the non enthusiasts love sweet and creamy. the hardcore enthusiasts look for very old tree wild jungle durians which the orang asli bring out from the jungles with a stronger bitter taste, alcoholic and slight bitter almond taste.
Yes, this is the most accurate comment. Those durians from the trees of dinosaur age taste the best, and those eaten by squirrels are most often the best of the best.
He mentioned that he tried the cempedak deep fried and still it wasn't for him. I on the other hand totally enjoy it. I'm thinking he might have had the poorly made ones. :(
One day try to send a person in another country an American fruit they have never tasted. And have them record their reaction. It would be an interesting video.
I saw one of your mango videos and I just want to say you have to try Sindhri mangoes, ''Chaunsa' mangoes, and Anwar Ratol mangoes The 'Sindhri' mango is a mango cultivar grown in Sindhri, a town in Sindh, and other areas of Sindh province in Pakistan. It is a large oval shaped mango which is extremely sweet and aromatic.[1] It is considered the Queen of Mangoes because of its taste. 'Chaunsa' mango (Urdu: چونسا ; Hindi: चौंसा), also known as 'Chausa the King of Mangoes'. The fruit has a golden-yellow color when it is soft, is almost fiberless, and has an aromatic, pleasant, sweet flavor. Commonly available varieties in Pakistan are greenish-yellow. The unique taste and richness in its flavor makes it a worldwide favorite. Some consider it the best mango in terms of its rich aroma, sweet taste, juicy pulp and high nutritional value. Anwar Ratol (sometimes spelt Anwar Rataul) is a small, yellow variety of mango known for its sweetness. It is sometimes called the 'mini powerhouse'. It is cultivated in the Punjab and Sindh regions of Pakistan, and near the village of Rataul in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is very sweet in taste with less fiber.[1] There are two variations of this mango:
The early season variety is fragile and prone to the climate elements. Much of the crop is destroyed by strong wind and heavy rain, but it is also the most popular and sweeter of the two varieties. Its growing season is very short - just a few weeks in May and June. You have to get them early in season though.
I would so adore getting hold of some of those delicious mangoes!. Used to enjoy the most remarkable variety of mango imported from Pakistan while in Oslo in the 90's. I can't recall the name of the variety though, except to say that they were exceptionally sweet and without an exception, indescribably lusciously delicious! Addictive as hell.
Ha! She must be a very brave kitty. Never tried durian, but if I have juiced a lime to put in a recipe, my cat will jump away from my hands like the cats in the video. You'd think I beat her the way she jumps back. 🙀
It is cheaper than getting on a plane for sure but can you justify spending 70-100+ dollars on a fruit I am not sure. Maybe some day I will have that kind of money to try one.
They now carry durian at my local Kroger's in Ohio. Anyone have any advice on how to select one, as they are very expensive? What signs do I look for to pick a good one?
as much as ive heard of durian, i still have yet to try it. im not afraid of how it might taste, and ive had my fair share of smelly foods, but rather its the texture. some say its like cream and the texture of canned pears; others say it is like eating wads of hair covered in custard because of the stringy and soft flesh. what is it really like? what might you equate it to in an appetizing way?
Nearer to the pit it can get a little stringy/fibrous, but it's still pretty soft and creamy throughout, a lot like custard. If you want pick every bit of fruit off the seed, you'll need to chew on the fiber surrounding it, but it's really not at all tough, and rather melts in your mouth pretty easily. I've had stringier fruit. "Wads of hair" is a little overblown, IMO, but then again I love durian and don't really have sensory processing issues. We eat it frozen so that it kind of resembles ice cream. If the stringiness is going to be an issue for you, I think Durian ice cream would be a great alternative to the actual fruit. Not sure if that's being sold in your area, but the recipes I've seen of it online do involve straining the fruit to get rid of the fiber
At what temperature are you consuming these fruits? You said they're frozen, but they look thawed. Are they cold, room-temp, warm? Seems like temperature would affect taste.
Durian looks rather delicious as a fruit but knowing fruits it may as well not taste any good (to me personally of course). I've not tasted that many in general though
Can't get enough durian? Here's a playlist of all my durian adventures so far:

@@-jank-willson No, it’s entirely unrelated to actual figs. It’s scientific name is Carpobrotus edulis

Ahw she’s just like you Jared, she doesn’t mind weird. She didn’t mind it at all. The cat! 😄
Love this channel. If I see Durian around I will try it.
You should! You might like it
All 4 bags were cut open differently. It should be easy to match up the tops & bottom pieces.
I used to mark bags by notching them differently (risk of exposure to alcohol that would dissolve Sharpie)
Oh boy i love durian

It is cheaper than getting on a plane for sure but can you justify spending 70-100+ dollars on a fruit I am not sure. Maybe some day I will have that kind of money to try one.

the way u kept zooming into the blueberry girl hahaha
Awesome Cat Jared.
They now carry durian at my local Kroger's in Ohio. Anyone have any advice on how to select one, as they are very expensive? What signs do I look for to pick a good one?
Hor lor sounds like an Irish brand. 😂
Sweet cat.
as much as ive heard of durian, i still have yet to try it. im not afraid of how it might taste, and ive had my fair share of smelly foods, but rather its the texture. some say its like cream and the texture of canned pears; others say it is like eating wads of hair covered in custard because of the stringy and soft flesh. what is it really like? what might you equate it to in an appetizing way?
Nearer to the pit it can get a little stringy/fibrous, but it's still pretty soft and creamy throughout, a lot like custard. If you want pick every bit of fruit off the seed, you'll need to chew on the fiber surrounding it, but it's really not at all tough, and rather melts in your mouth pretty easily. I've had stringier fruit.
"Wads of hair" is a little overblown, IMO, but then again I love durian and don't really have sensory processing issues. We eat it frozen so that it kind of resembles ice cream.
If the stringiness is going to be an issue for you, I think Durian ice cream would be a great alternative to the actual fruit. Not sure if that's being sold in your area, but the recipes I've seen of it online do involve straining the fruit to get rid of the fiber
At what temperature are you consuming these fruits? You said they're frozen, but they look thawed. Are they cold, room-temp, warm? Seems like temperature would affect taste.
Have you ever tried the fruit of Ixora?

Durian looks rather delicious as a fruit but knowing fruits it may as well not taste any good (to me personally of course). I've not tasted that many in general though
depend tho, usually I got the fresh one since I live in Malaysia, the taste is heavenly and sweet
