Musang King Durian: The BEST Durian In The World!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2016
- Combat Durian is a reputable durian dealer in Singapore, where you’ll find amazing Musang King durians. Get more details on my Singapore food guide: migrationology.com/2016/01/sin...
Compared to other foods I ate in Singapore, durian is a little bit different… it’s the only all natural, uncooked, and unprepared, right off the tree delicacy I had. The reason I had to include durian on my must eat list of foods is not only because it’s the King of Fruit and such an amazing natural creation, but also because I’m a bit addicted to durian and I can’t resist any opportunity to eat it.
Combat Durian - Known as Combat Durian because they want you to “come back,” or rather after eating one of their durians you’ll want to come back immediately - or just sleep for a little while and wake up and eat another durian. I showed up in the mid-afternoon, and the durian was all on display and ready to be sold. One of the varieties of durian that Combat is most well known for is Musang King, which in Chinese is called Mao Shan Wang, and in English is called Cat Mountain King. The type of durian is originally from Malaysia, and even the durians sold at Combat are grown in Malaysia on the private farm of the owner of the shop.
Ying and I chose a nice almost 2 kilo durian, which cost me a total of $32 SGD, which is very expensive for a fruit, but after eating it, I can tell you it was definitely worth every dollar. After choosing our fruit and cutting it up, we took a seat at one of the red tables and began to feast.
The lumps of the Musang King durian were very yellow, like butter, and had a waxy shiny skin on each piece. The fruit was perfectly ripe, and it was one of the creamiest things I’ve ever had in my life - like whipped cream, sweet like honey, and with a tinge of a bitterness to contrast it all. It was indeed probably the best durian I’ve ever had in my life. Ying and I sat there in almost near silence, apart from lots of groaning, and finishing off our Mao Shan Wang. The final bite was a little bitter sweet, knowing it was the end, but knowing that I had just consumed one of the best durians I had ever eaten in my life.
Combat Durian
Address: 249 Balestier Rd, Singapore
Open hours: 12 pm - 12 am midnight daily
Prices: For a Mao Shan Wang the price was $20 SGD per kg, and ours cost a total of $32 SGD
How to get there: The closest MRT station in Novena, and I walked from there in about 15 minutes. But alternatively you can jump on bus #154.

The way he described the taste, it sounds like a poems
Laven Dear his face matches too lol
Lol, yeah
That 50 deg angle head tilt definitely confirmed this durian deliciousness.
spot on
+lefad li Yes, that and the extended wide eyed stare!
Mark usually doesn't like sweet food. The fact that he enjoyed this so much just shows how extraordinary it must've been.
I love durian...handed down from my mom's side and now I carry the responsibility of teaching my kids to love it one day.
I just returned from Kuala Lumpur where I tried some for the first time. I totally get the obsession now. It was the most amazingly delicious and unique fruit I've eaten in my entire life. Your video captures this experience perfectly!
Matt Spewak every durian I’ve tried (frozen only) has been super onionish...are most of them like that?
Rosalie O'Rourke have eaten fresh durian before n the frozen packaged ones u talking about. The frozen ones taste nothing like the fresh ones. I dunno what they did to the frozen one but one bite n I threw mine away. Never buy them again. God knows what they done to it before packaging it.
LilTone Nozack do the fresh ones taste like onion?
Rosalie O'Rourke No. The fresh ones never taste like the oniony tasting thing I tried in the frozen packed.
Rosalie O'Rourke Nope, it should never ever taste like smelly socks or onions. The smell can be overwhelming and pungent but the taste is unique, sweet. Texture is just like custard.
i had the same reaction when i tried musang king durian lol...couldnt speak, just smiling...so freaking good... cant describe the taste, its just heaven lol... its nothing like the others normal durian
heard black thorn is equally good
I had durian for the first time two weeks ago in Singapore. I’m so happy I loved it! Amazing fruit!
And sad i dont like it :(
I want to taste it like you feel :(
Love Musang King.. am surprise it is featured in Singapore. Singapore has no durian orchard and nearly all their fruits (durians, rambutans, mangoesteen, guava etc) and vegetables come from Malaysia. You can get all these at a fraction of what you pay in Singapore.
I lived two years in Hong Kong and never tried durian during that time. When I visited Singapore in 2010, I made a b-line for it. i will now eat durian at each and every opportunity presented to me. It is the king of all fruit!
+Peter Thomas Yes, great to hear that Peter!
Try the Queen of Fruit : MANGOSTENE ..
array s , right it's said that the Smell of Durian ( The King of Fruit) is like The Smell of Cheese for us ( Asian people ) 😀
rambutan is the second place after durian instead of mangosteen, hope u learn that.
If Durian is the king then I think Cempedak is definitely the queen!
I'm going out to get some durian tonight
+Quang Tran Enjoy!
me too now
7:23 That's always what I want to say. Durian's taste is more like vanilla, cheese, butter, custard & milk rather than onions, carcass & socks as described by most Western people
The thing is most durians that are imported to Europe, North America, etc are frozen. These durians are plucked before ripe as ripe durian will not last more than 3-4 days after falling off their trees.
Westerners got an old frozen one that spoil quickly, thats why they would never know the real value of durian unless they come to southeast asia and try it themselves. Weird seeing westerners dislike durian when they can tolerate maggot and blue cheese
Yummy....
Foxley Right??? I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy blue cheese (taste & smell)... Have you seen the episode on Fear Factor though when they had people eat durian (+ Balut eggs) & they were gagging just off the smell?? 😂😂
There's another one. Sweet guacamole
I am a Caucasian Australian and I really love the taste of durian... people wonder where I got the genes for eating it.
store it in the fridge and eat it cold! heavenly good
I am a Malaysian and my siblings and I grew up eating durians.
@@sharonytcy
Yes, it taste like ice-cream , so as to say. . . . . Yummy.!
Musang(malay) = civet.
musang king durian = originally this type durian is from a place called Gua Musang, Kelantan, Malaysia.
Hence the name.
You translated from it's chinese name.
Hi Mark! I gave your video a thumbs up, because you are the first person I have ever seen that not only talks nicely about durian, but is able to eat it without making a face like you're going to gag. I've only seen and heard nothing but yucky comments about it, and yet, I have learned something today, that durian can be sweet, bitter, but very tasty at the same time. You almost make me want to try it...almost. haha Thanks for sharing!
jem5252 same
+ Keno 'We south east asian even eat them with rice' that's just you mate. durian and rice together is disgusting
Fmungs maybe "sticky rice", that would be more logic haha
Aditya Rahman ahh, yeah you're right. I was imagining someone eating it with rice and curry or something lol
look at laowhy's video, he likes durian too
Musang King is history for Malaysian, we eating The Black Thorn Durian now.
Black thorn is still too young for the cultivar. So for the richness of taste I think still gotta wait a few years
Come to malaysia..we got most delicious durian
@@streakzzchannel4429 sure Malaysia, that's where this Singaporean get their durians😂😂.. Do you see a single durian tree in Singapore?
@@meijiss2517 haha no..nvr see before..yeah they import from malaysia..the best durian in the world
Bruh Kampung. It’s timeless.
Musang King durian originated in a place called Sungai Klau, Raub. The creator Ah Fook Gor grafted his 1st Musang King varient 33 years ago. The best Musang Kings are within the 1st to 3rd generation grafting which could only be found in Raub. Subsequent generations grown in other areas are diluted and the MK taste is diluted.
Musang King originated from Gua Musang la aiyo.
Mark, I'm literally crying watching this video. Oh, how I miss eating Musang King. I can't afford to eat one as I used to so I'll just eat the normal durians from time to time. And your expressions when eating food are really priceless. Hope you are doing fine always.
It’s okay …one day will get to afford it… work hard okay😁
Yes, folks, this how it looks like when you get the Durian fever. When you really love the durian fruit. If you ever wonder why anybody would eat the Durian, this video explain it excellently. Thanks, Mark!
Your video does it better than the other Durian videos before. This should have a million views.
+Nu Otonomi Thank you very much Nu.
Every year from 2016 when the durian seasons come I will watch this video again.. It's tempting and remarkable..
I love the way he comments on the taste and texture of everything he eats. Now I want to try this durian.
Durian - the natural ice-cream from God.
+Xaos Legion its a acquired taste
+DoomsDayCookie +Xaos Legion Once acquired & if you grow to like the taste, you'll thank God for it. BUT, the durian must be a good one, like the one Mark is eating. Musang King(Mao Shan Wang) is one of the best, do ensure u get the real ones (from Malaysia).
Life is worth living when I'm eating really good durian!
Koh Bee Teng im a malaysian as well.i know my durian XD
+DoomsDayCookie Oh! Hi neigbour! Malaysia boleh!
Koh Bee Teng yeah!
Best foodgasm I've ever seen. Our local oriental store has frozen peeled durian. The stuff smells like rotten onions, but has an amazing creamy sweetness like nothing else I know of. You have to get past the smell to enjoy it. It's just about the only thing I have ever seen make Andrew Zimmern gag, which greatly surprised me, cause I have seen him eat stuff that's much worse. I love durian.
+Wayne Warmack Tastes a lot of Brown Sugar in the stuff I get?
+Wayne Warmack you have to come to southeast Asia to try fresh durians here.
Thailand gives you crisp, light and sweet durians. Malaysia gives you robust custardy buttery durians.
Where does your frozen durian come from? What cultivar is it?
In any case, you really have to come to Singapore / Malaysia to try the Musang King.
But Andrew Zimmern eat sambal tempoyak (fermented durian sambal).. when he visit Indonesia embassy in USA
I was searching youtube for durian videos for durian reviews in Malaysia and i came across this from Mark. Yes!!! I was never a durian craze/enthusiast before. I do eat durian but i don’t go crazy about it when come durian season. Now is durian season all over Malaysia. A week ago i tasted a variety in my hometown in Kedah called 101 or is it IOI idk and i was hooked!!! It was soooo heavenly delicious, not as bitter as Musang King. I returned to KL just last weekend to have another durian session to again devour IOI and Udang Merah. Both are soo good and now i am planning my third durian session in a span of 2 weeks. God, forgive my indulgence.
Most fruits are well, fruits. Sweet or sour.
Durian is a different league. It’s a fruit that is savoury. It’s a combination of sweet, creamy, bitter, silky in texture, fragrant. It is really superior than all other fruits.
I ate durian for the first time in Ubud, Bali. It was an incredible experience. Durian is like all the best savory and sweet foods in one. Butter, custard, cheese, banana, mango, with a hint of fresh fish. I ate it every chance I got after that. I'm so sad I can only find it frozen in the States.
Lies again? Draft Kings
One of the best durian videos ever! You really managed to share that experience with us very well! Thank God I'm actually in Thailand right now and can eat Durian, otherwise this would be painful to watch!
+Sweet Natural Living Thank you very much, yes glad you have a supply available.
Thailand durian is not same with Malaysia durian
Thailand durian taste differently. They do pluck the fruit and ripe it with chemical, while in Malaysia they wait until the fruit ripe n fall naturally from the tree.
import frozen msw , seriously ?
my exact sentiment..thai durians have not much flavor..
You're killing me! I miss Durian so much! Can't find them here in Los Angeles. The frozen ones available are simply not the same!
Freshh durian from Malaysia..
Go to thai market. The closest one you are going to get . I’m here in VEGAS I GOT THE FRESH ONE . It’s from there in LA.
David Boen give me your address I will send to you by courier Bro....I'm serius I will pack it nicely for u....
Wassana Holtsclaw what Thai market in Vegas?
@@wassanaholtsclaw2356 what market in Las Vegas? Would love to see what all the hype is about
Durian is one of the best thing can happened on earth.. ❤️😋🤤🥰
LOL!!!! His expression is everything the way his eyes widen is so funny. It’s like he literally wants to melt away with the durian😂😂😂
Durian's like a natural custard, it's a dessert on it;s own, yum!
I'm from malaysia and yeah we are crazy about durian. Damn that musang king looks insanely goooooood! Literally drooling from this 😋
Oh here is pro durian tips! Some said durian is a hot fruit that can cause upset stomach or even fever. So to cool it down, you pour some water into one of the skin compartment and drink straight from there like a cup. The skin has the cooling factor that everyone need after eating durian. Have fun!
I just love the way you respond of anything's taste. 😊
This variety is really make me feel full, compare to other types of durian. 1 musang king durian is enough. 😋😋
wow finally Mark got the best piece of his fav food in the whole world!!! :)... i never saw you that restless and mesmerised before...
wow! thanks alot Mark, for that special love towards Musang King of Malaysia!
Now I feel so glad to have a few durian trees my dad planted beside our house :D
Great! I loved that you were all into the experience! I enjoy eating durians, too, when I can...and that one looked to truly be the King of Kings. Some are a bit hard and/or have large seeds and little flesh. This was pudding-like through and through. I hope I can taste one that good someday!
*Thanks God his eyes didn't pop out when he eat durian*
lol
haha
that's truuuuuuue! 😂
+Apple jack the cow girl of course lol
i wonder what his breath smells like eww
Im salivating while watching this video.wanna hve a bite of duriannnnnn...
+Estela Maghanoy Thanks Estela!
My computer shut off from all of this drool...
😛
+Estela Maghanoy omg me too I want durian right now!!!
hey estela. if you have any friends coming over to southeast asia. just a little heads up about durian.. It is seasonal... durian is always available, but the price is mark up so high when not in season.. literally 5@10 dolars more per kg. come during seasons, and you can have the best of the best. fully ripe , the durian is at the best condition when it drops on its own weight.. so , go nuts...
In malaysia , there are names we call like people like mark and myself , that goes crazy for durian. its "Hantu durian" . cant get enough of this stuff, ^_^
You could almost see he was going to cry of gratification and appreciation... Speechless the guy... Love your terms and expressions... 👍🏼😄
cheers Mark...you really have a great connection to your experiences
that moment of silence right there explains why durian is the king of all fruits!
And Mark the king of all food bloggers ur facial expression each time , superb!
+Erika J Thank you Erika!
Mark....If you want to eat cheap Musang King...Go to Malaysia Raub,Pahang on July..You will find a lot of Musang King,D24 and more durian.Please come here.. ;)
tq for the info
Ok
musang king memang la sedap
Aliffirdaus Abby sedap...murah kat raub
Aliffirdaus Abby lapar pulak aduh nak durian pulakkk
I tried many strains of durian in Malaysia... musang king is my favorite.. the day i die i hope will be for a durian overdose
oh, durian overdose is a thing? looks like im in trouble
Strains lol. You're saying it as if it was a virus lmao.
Finally i found the longest close eyed moment from Mark. Durian is simply the best.
Your facial expressions always amazes me, you express your passion so well for food.
+glam eyez Thank you!
could you change your expression. you just have one expression everytime.
Usually people run away from durian but this durian piece tried to run away from Mark! Lol!
Famolicious08 WAHAHAHA!
Usually malaysian don't run away from durian, tourist not from south east asia might tough.
Famolicious08 nice
That made me laugh out loud
they scare & jump off from Mark hand. literally 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Thank you mark..you are right musang king is the best durian in the world and its from malaysia.
So buttery, pudding on seed, delicious beyond comprehension, almost like creature, mind blowing, requires no chewing, 10 times more better than natural pudding... 😂😅 what a great review Mark . I am from Malaysia and we call it King of Fruit.
You're a huge inspiration, I'm only 17 now but one day I hope to travel the world and experience all the food culture. Keep on making awesome videos!
+Goldensniper Really appreciate your support, thank you. You can do it if you make it your priority.
"That deserves a moment of silence" and "no teeth required." LOVE IT! I was smiling through this whole video. Love Marks passion for Thai food. Durian is such a unique fruit. Marks Durian was gorgeous and looked so "creamy!"
+Nicole Avant Thank you Nicole
just got durian in my home today in Aus. SOOO EXCITED
Your appetite is outrageous- looks like you've been starving for weeks on end!
mark you are a very lucky westerner to have an acquired taste for durian. your descriptions and knowledge on the heavenly fruit is spot on. i know u and me feel sorry for those people who cant love the fruit. its insanely unbelievable food. i wont call it fruit tho. it should be elevated to food status
omg ... I want some so bad!!! 😋
Been craving it since last year
This time around in Raub Pahang, D24 and Musang King are crazy hot!! My family eating em everyday for the past weeks
u must from a rich family or very rich family. regular malaysian family only eat musang king on a salary day and only 1 hahhahhah
I FIND IT HILARIOUS EVERYTIME HE TILTS AND CLOSES HIS EYES WHEN HE REALLY ENJOYS HIS FOOD
I wish we could see Ying eat some Durian. She never speaks! Does she like it as much as you do? More vids of Ying!
This video beautifully captures my/most south east asian's passion for durian!!
Malaysian durians is very taste...from dubai
tak klako
U very stupid... From Pakistan
@@tonggas6011 in pakistan also using word "TONG GAS" ka?
@Mqhl Afiq 🤣👍🏻👍🏻
dUrIan iS fROm DubAi 🤪
Durian is a good source of good cholesterol. Durian ice cream and durian pie is heaven. Here in the Philippines, I have durian the whole year round
Definitely going to the market and get some durian today!
+Han Pham Yes, enjoy it Han!
nice video on this great fruit!
Not everyone can eat durian, but when you used to eating it, you love it for long🤘
I have been eating durian for my entire life & have been eating it for almost everyday for past 1 week. After watching your vid, I feel like going to the kitchen to open another one even I had just finished one.
oh my god.. cant watch anymore. need durianss!!!
I love durian so much 😍😍😍😍
3:34 that deserves a moment of silent..
your words is so deep like a line of poetry.. and really fits with your face expression (tilting head)
Durian really is a heavenly fruit.. these days is durian season in Sumatra Indonesia.. please come again
Ooooh... Damn you, you're tempting me to no end! I miss durians!
I tried durian for the first time in Singapore. Smelled like banana and onion combined, but so tasty.
Mark and Ying, I have not had durian but it does look beautiful and amazing. Definitely going to try when I have the chance. TFS :)
+Tess Cooks 4u Thanks Tess!
Awesome job Dude! Thank you! I'm unable to get past the smell!
I’m a typically durian lover! Hope to have a trip to Singapore just for durians.
Singapore Musang King Durian is from malaysia
i dont think there is land for durian plantation in Singapore..correct me if i'm wrong though..hehe
most durians in Singapore imported from Malaysia and some from Thailand. only buy Malaysia's durians cos they are the best.
Malaysia will only handpick the best and ship to Singapore, that's where most of their profit come from. can be assured that most durian sold in Singapore are the best.
that's explains the high price but it's totally worth it.
The dealer might own some of the plantation in Malaysia. If he does own it, he is free to call it whatever he thinks it should be called.
gagiva Tan yep. They imported them from Malaysia.
Duuuuuuh
3:28 facial expressions are PRICELESS 😂👌🏼 LOVE IT MAN!
Eating durian while watching this😋😋
My favourite fruit of all times!!💕💕
For those who are wondering what durian tastes like,it's more like custardy & nutty flavor..good durian has a bit of firm texture..
Mark breaks out the pop music for durian.
Tobyn Manthorpe 80’s pop? perhaps durian durian?
When I was visit Jakarta few years ago. I can't finish up my durian. Than I gave to homeless children. He ran with my durian and celebrate and declare loudly. "I have durian.... I have durian". And few his friends run after him to enjoy the fruit to no were.
Its make me and my friend tear down immediately.
Yes, Durian is expensive
Hi Mark, My Wife (originally from Singapore) and I love your videos!... My Wife Christina just bought me some Durian today I am trying this for the very first time and love it !! It is very unique in flavour so creamy and a wonderful taste addictive I feel....Everyone, You must try it ...Cheers Mate! From Graeme and Christina in Australia!
oh man, his enthusiasm is great. Hail king durian!
Finally. Found someone who is not South East Asian and loves durian. I give respect to Mark
pretty sure mark is from thailand, which is a SEA country and is known for its many types of durian
3:33 omggg when demons come out at night loll 😂😂
Hi Mark , thank you for this tip on Dorian, ive always see this fruit . Wondered about it and never tryed it ... but thanks to you I will now Mark
I wanna try that durian! Must head back to Singapore.... drooling 🤤
We have a new rating system guys!
1- hmmm kind of nice
2- nodding head kind of nice
3- delicious expression kind of nice
4- delicious expression, tilted head kind of nice
5- moment of silence
Now that I've tried fresh Musang King I wonder if I will ever like common durian as much again.
Lol. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mark.
Coming from you "Musang King the best durian in the world" makes all the different.
Thanks.
I think this musta been a 10/10 flavour profiling for Mark.
Excited popping eyes.. jittering hands.. speechless bite.. ecstasy soothing closed eyes.. a 45° body angle & a ridiculously satisfied smile after.. 😂😅
dude that looks good I never had one but I would LOVE to try durian!
those thoughts will immediately disappear as you get the first wiffs of the smell. Takes getting used to, trust me
Me too! I saw Jessica Chastain on Fallon and she brought one to the show, wore gloves, and she looked like she was in ecstasy eating too! She did however say it's a VERY acquired taste. Supposed to be a bit garlicky? I really wish I knew where to get a good one in the Philadelphia area.
It's like what Mark described in this video. Creamy, buttery, sweet and a slight hint of bitterness. Yes, it's an acquired taste, not all Singaporean/Malaysian love the taste.
It's like blue cheese, you either love or hate it. I doubt you could find durian of this quality in US. You need to travel to Singapore and try it.
It is exactly as jessica had said, "a very acquired taste'. even some locals have not yet to embrace the loveliness of durians, but once you do, you'll be hooked. But if you do one day come across it, do keep an extremely open mind, and nose....lol...pinch your nose if you have to, and let your taste buds do its job.
Travel to singapore to try durian??? Yeah come visit malaysia to try emmentalar cheese then...
Love durian very much...
If you go to Kuching, Sarawak during durian fruit season you can enjoy all varieties of durians at a cheap price and enjoy eating it everyday.You can never be fed up with it.Welcome to Borneo.
What a sweet fellow. Really enjoyed this review and your facial expressions
This durian from mlaysia...
มันไม่ได้มีแต่ประเทศเธอจ่ะ! สติ เห็นหลายคลิปแล้วที่บอกแต่ประเทศเธอ
i from malaysia you
Are you malaysia too ?
Who ask? If this durian from malaysia i just want see his reaction ...
Mark, im from Penang & i would like to recommend you to try the BLACK THORN DURIAN. Ur gonna find it way way better than musang king/udang merah.
I really cannot stand the smell of Durian but when I watched this video twice. I went to the market and bought one. It really changed my mind. Now, Durian is one of my favorite fruits! This thing is addicting.
Looooo, this guy cracks me up. Atleast I now know I’m not the only one with a sickness for exotic fruits lol
I can swear that this is the longest facial expression you've ever had
+Dennis Law Haha, possible!
Finally!! The right testimonial to express how tasty durians are..and that's the right way to eat and cut open it..
I've had Durian for the first time this year. It's awesome like a creamy custard. The smell is pungent and strong but not nearly as disgusting as people say.
Always enjoy seeing a cucasian who enjoys durian. This looks like good quality durian.
Too many times I see people who knows nothing about durian walking into a shop to buy durian, only to later complain how horrible the fruit was. Im pretty sure the seller sold the worst fruit he had in stock to him.
