    Tupai King is one of the latest varieties of Premium Durian approved by Malaysia DOA with code D214(2021). Musang King is D197. If you want the latest Durian varieties approved in 2024 is D229 Cenderawasih. All this new varieties above D200 will be hard to get in the singapore market as they are newly registered and not many durian orchard have this type of varieties due to scarcity of seedlings by its owner altogether with the durian tree that has not matured yet. Whatever you see in the singapore market is largely the varieties from code D1 until D200.

      No need to expose anyone. If you see terms like "black gold", "king of kings" etc. It should already ring a bell that the seller gave those fanciful names to mark up the price. That should already be a red flag.
      Mao Shang Wang are only graded as A, B or C based on the fruit shape and how many "meat-filled" sections and not its taste by the durian plantations. Grade A is big and not odd shaped, grade B is odd shaped and grade C is small baby-sized. So it is possible for grade C to taste better than grade A but grade C will almost never have more meat than grade A.

    In singapore, i've seen many durian sellers(those non-reputable ones) selling fake varieties as the real ones. For example, i've seen D13 sold as D175 red prawn(红虾 or udang merah). Some even sell Thai MonThong (Golden Pillow or 金枕头) as Musang king at Musang king price! The rest are shown in the video, old tree, highland old tree, black gold, wang zhong wang, tai shan wang etc all are simply still Musang king but they sell u at higher price. Advice to buy from reputable sellers with a long history in the durian business, they won't sell u fake varieties coz they have a reputation to uphold.

    To me, all durian were once known as "kampong durian". Over the generations, during the mass commercialisation of the food, businessmen, particularly the Chinese durian dealer and grower began to give names to the difference varieties. Like the musang king, there were 3 versions of its originality. Some durians had good taste and texture, as good as Musang King. They use to call bit Pumpkin because of its 5 star bottom or shape of a pumpkin. That is my take.

    The Thai variety Chanee was grown in Malaysia since 1980's . The taste depends on the soil grown . Generally it taste bitter and slightly sweet with creamy . It is my favourite. Another thai variety is ganyau , with its long stem . The taste is really bitter . Very hard to find .

    • @blang7017
      @blang7017 3 месяца назад +1

      The Thai Chanee durian that is grown in Northern Malaysia is D15. It will drop when they are ripe and with some alcoholic taste but the flesh is not as smooth as the Musang King. I know because I have grown this variety before. The D15 variety if still exists will be more than 30 years old and alot of farmers have change to the popular varieties.

    How did the panel visually tell the difference between the Black Gold and MSW?
    I'm really curious and very interested to learn. I love eating durians and ever since I've learned that King of Kings, Black Gold, Old Tree and MSW are basically all MSW, I've refused to pay more than the prevailing market price of MSW for any durian that's labelled as those premium ones. I see it as the seller trying to make more money by using these marketing "tricks".
    But I don't want to just use a blanket "ban" on them. If there is a real distinguishing visual characteristic to it, I want to learn it. May not make me willing to pay more for it, but at least I can tell if a seller is honestly asking for more because it is "premium" MSW, or if he's just taking advantage of the "premium" name.

    would be interesting to do a comparison of durian seller from malaysia and singapore, the sellers from singapore would say from personal experience have less exposure to durian compared to malaysia and would have different thoughts in identifying the fruits, as per this video the comments on them identifying musang king is not the same. Like how the seed is flat..we have D24 with such seeds here also so I dont think its true.

    One thing that always impresses me about Singaporeans is that they really know how to analyse Asian food and articulate them in good English... We Malaysians on the other hand would just makan and makan and the only expression we can come up with is "Fuyooh... this very nice"... 😁😁

    As a malaysian,its all part of the hype marketing,im not going to buy it
    I remembered it well at ome time before covid season i think around 2017-2019 the supply for durian in malaysia is over the demand,the price felt as low as it can be as nobody would want to buy durian anymore,its just too much
    Then all of sudden,those durian farmers introduce a special breed which is musang king which they only exported to China,but,the local can get it too and its just expensive as hell because its "rare breed" and then all of sudden,people started to hunting this rare breed to have a taste of it
    And the demand were over the supply once again,durian becoming a must have fruit during its season,and later theres more breed coming in too
    If rambutan seller want to be rich,try selling the yellow rambutan or green one as a rare breed,or introduce some purple rambutan as the rare breed and make it a plus selling point easily
    For me its always two type of durian only,kampung and kahwin,nothing more

    I heard long ago before all these big name varieties came onto the scene that Singapore used to produce the best durians. The last time I tasted local SG durian was in Pulau Ubin decades ago. They were small and the flesh thin. Can’t recall the taste though but cannot compare to even Mao Shan Wang.

    It's all commercial branding. Initially, everyone started with D24, later D101. Some use ioi. Later, D196 , commercialise as musang king. MARDI and local R&D did a lot of research for better durian.

    C 'on CNA ! Musang King is from an unknown pedigree , that was a product of chance discovery , among the pool of all the above named varieties which are geographical varieties , from monsoon side of the Peninsula where there 's one wild durian that has not been taxamocically "discovered". This excempts the Black Thorn. All the local varietiy names pre-date the Musang King , but don't measure up , but from which pool , came the Musang King. These local varieties are so limited that "geographical variety" feels a mismnomer.(There's not enough fruits to export to Singapore , let alone China.) Durian segregation paleontologically is down to the annual migration route of the flying fox. (You don't see that anymore. The fruit bat does't really cross state borders , and are distracted by banana nectar.) (On top of that guano's got a price on it's head , illegal it may be to harvest.) By the time the British landed in Malaya , they recorded "pollen contamination" i.e. hybridization. ( Malayan Botany). Anthropologically durian seeds travel a long distance in someone's pocket or luggage before and after the British. Propagation looked a different shape , when.

    Honestly who started selling durians based on weight? It’s like buying Mala ingredients based on weight. If you say longans are sold based on weight, it’s understandable because it’s small, but a big fruit like durian should be just by the price of each fruit, technically people are buying the weight of the husk which they are throwing away.

  • @macadish

    So are new varietals are actually new cultivars, or names assigned to a premium subset of a cultivar like MSW?
    When the Malaysian seller says 1 in 1000 durians are tupai kings, it means the total number of durians are harvested from tupai king tree is far and few between (because there are not enough trees yet).
    But, when the 99 durian boss said he needs to open 100 durians to 'find' one black gold, he is suggesting that black gold is essentially a name given to MSW that possess a certain rare taste profile, not a new cultivar. Also, when a seller sells dehusked durian as black gold, it might mean they have opened many and sold the best ones as black gold (or it might just be a marketing lie). \For unopened durian, unless the durian seller can confidently identify the durian taste profile through sight and smell, otherwise it is probably also a lie to label durians as black gold.
    No wonder when a buyer ask for bitter durian, sellers direct buyers to the more expensive black golds even though there is no guarantee that the black golds are actually more butter. Just like wrongly labeled fish and wagyu beef, we have to live with frauds in the durian market...
