Balik Pulau Durians? Update: Where to go, still expensive? Some good news for durian lovers! 

Thanxs Ge Ge share location Pondok Durian.. D604 tu lain macam ahhh... Gila ahh nmpak padu😅... 👏👏👌👌

@@ejadmixsali9534 Itu lah, 604 tu kira bukan durian top... tapi ada setengah dusun yg bakalnua mmg baik, jadi buahnya pun best. Tak payah selalu dok cari musang king saja!

The season has started! Now quite a lot of durians and the prices have dropped a lot. Even musang king is around RM40/kg at some places.

No problem... we will be booking and going back soon!

Do you still love durian? Best time to come back now!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Whereabouts are you from? Hope you get to visit our little island soon!

From California. Durians very expensive.

no worries, I will update again soon sometime next week! Thanks for watching

thank you!

Usually she is the quiet one!

Paling best kalau boleh makan durian terus dari dusun! 😬

oh yeah!

Next round I bring you all here to try

@@pishedbloke great .. okok. Thanks 😃👏👏

Sadly no mangosteen on sale yet! I also love mangosteens. So must drink more water and cooling herbal tea

Oh yeah.. used to go there during Bayan Lepas days

@@pishedbloke Yesterday, I placed an advanced order for 1 Hor Lor, 1 Musang King, 1 Red Prawn, 1 Black Thorn and 1 Siao Hong. When we've arrived there, a last minute update from our relatives and we told the seller that we'd like to buy all except Red Prawn. The seller told us that once ordered, we cannot cancel our order just like that, as there are customers in the morning who were looking for the durians that we've ordered. We told them that even if you place them back into the rest of the durians, there will be customers who'd want to buy one. The seller (especially the dark skin guy) was very rude and arrogant and he proceeded to throw all the 5 durians back into the rest of the durians. So, question here is, aren't you contradicting yourself? You placed the durians back, there will be customers who will still buy, right? Stupid as stupid does! We've been buying from this stall for more than 20 years, and they have seen the last of us! Period! They are also not the cheapest anymore, especially since last year, and when we tried their Hor Lor and Red Prawn yesterday, their quality has dropped a lot!

thank you

Durian too much pesticide can cause cancer & others disease...try eat less for healthy reason.. 😅😆

Actually there are more and more organic farms, but need to pay more

I usually go all the way up to Gertak Sanggul if I go there... Hai Boey is very nice though.

All these names are different durian varieties The "D" prefix is used by the Malaysian agriculture department to register these different varieties, so there are hundred of D breeds, but some have been given names too, such as Hor Lor, Capri, Musang King and Red Prawn, so actually all these have their D codes. For example, Musamg King is actually D197.

This "highway" is actually a bridge connecting Bukit Jambul, Paya Terubong and Balik Pulau Jalan Tun Sardon... if you come from Farlim/ Air Itam "sua lor" you will surely see it.

Yesterday was the start of the school term holidays, so there were more people than usual

Hahaha aiyohhh if cannot tahan, what to do? Try to call and book before coming. Lim Brothers farm contact is on Google. Tapi kalau boleh tahan, next week lagi cantik

Ya agree... it just started. I wish I can tahan better hahahaha takpa lah, just a few bites so I can sleep better at night. LOL

​@@pishedblokeIm glad that u enjoyed it to at least satisfy your craving. May u and family be blessed with good fortune and health. 🙏 Teruskan post video tentang durian ya tuan.

@@perwiranegara4679 you too bro, few more weeks harga turun kot hehehe. May your rezeki berganda-ganda and have a good durian season!

Hi bro, here are some I could find sourced from some online sites, by no means exhaustive or covering all. There are some new variants like "lobster" and of course the Musang King and Black Thorn too which have gained more popularity over the years: D11 "Number Eleven" is a very popular durian in the 70's. It has creamy yellow flesh with a pleasant taste and a subtle smell. D604 The D604 was first cultivated by the late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh is quite sweet, and has some "body" to it as the seed is small. D600 This durian originates in Sungai Pinang in Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness. The one that I documented is a bit hard. D700 The flesh is darker than D600, like chrome yellow. Also slightly hard. Crispy, but the smell is not very strong. Ang Sim (Red Heart) Ang Sim is a durian with flesh which is quite soft and very sweet, and dark yellow in colour. It also has a nice aroma. Khun Poh This durian takes the name of the late Mr Lau Khun Poh, who first budded it. Khun Poh has beautiful orangy flesh with a slightly bitter-sweet taste and a heavy aroma. Hor Loh (Water Gourd Durian) The flesh of the Hor Loh is very soft, dry and quite bitter. It has a sharp smell to it. Hor Loh was first cultivated at the Brown Estate of Sungai Ara. It got its name from its appearance resembling a "Hor Lor" pumpkin. If the durian hits the ground hard when it falls, the flesh tends to be bitter thereafter. Ang Heh (Red Prawn Durian) Ang Heh originates from Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, and has a round-reddish flesh is highly aromatic, very soft with a bitter-sweet taste. Xiao Hung (Little Red Durian) Xiao Hung, whose name means "Little Red One," originates in Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh has a bittersweet taste to it, with a touch of sourness. The one that I tasted for this write-up is a bit hard. There are only one or two seeds per section, but the flesh is thick. Yah Kang (Centipede/Lipan Durian) Yah Kang is one of my favourite durians. Although its flesh is whitish, the taste is superb, milky, like very sweet, melting chocolate. The name "yah kang" means centipede, and accounts for the number of centipedes found at the foot of the tree, hence giving it the rather unusual name. Bak Eu (Pork Fat Durian) Bak Eu has a slightly acidic aroma. The flesh is whitish while the taste is quite bitter but nice. The following are some of the durians at Peng Siew Durian Estate in Titi Serong, Balik Pulau, on the AsiaExplorers Durian Feast, 17 June, 2006 . D17 D17 is dark cream flesh. The taste is slightly dry but sweet. It is a tasty durian. Coupling (sometimes pronounced Capri) This durian is gets its unusual name because it looks like two durians joined together, one big and one small. When split open, you almost thought the two halves belong to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh which is slightly dry but tastes good. Ooi Kyau (Tumeric Durian) The name Ooi Kyau (tumeric) describes the colour of the bright yellow flesh of this durian. It is very sweet and tasty. Chaer Phoy (Green Skin Durian) Chaer Phoy is shaped like a small canteloupe. The skin is bright green, giving it the name which means "green skin". Chaer Phoy has creamy white flesh which is a bit dry, not too sweet but tasty. Ang Jin (Red Yoke Durian) As the name suggests, Ang Jin Durian has deep orange flesh. It is very sweet and tasty. Lin Fong Jiau This durian is named after Lin Fong Jiau, aka Mrs Jackie Chan. I wonder whether it is indicative of the relationship of the celebrity couple, for Lin Fong Jiau is a bittersweet

Different prices for different brands... I explain in the video. Example is D604,Rm50/kg last week, now RM38 at Anjung Indah, RM30 at Balik Pulau

too expensive durian? Boikot lor... 😅😅

Did you check withthem before going? Anyway if you come to Penang Balik Pulau now until July your tummy will surely be full! The season just started!

@@pishedbloke Hahaha! Too far to travel to Penang by car... I did not check with the plantation owner.. I saw some durian stalls selling at JB - Paradigm and took the assumption that I can find more durians at a plantation. 😄

@@enterpriseinfinite4900 You can ask the seller where his durians came from, especially which state. Different plantations have durians at different times, so a seller in Penang may have durians in March, but it is definitely not from Balik Pulau, most likely from Thailand or other states.

@@pishedbloke Noted with thanks! I have learnt my lessons...😄

Price list ada, tapi kalau tak pasti harga boleh tanya bang...

Boikot... 😆very effective...price will go down...😁

Once a year... ok lah. Hahaha... I cannot tahan if no durians! 😂

Agree once a year is good enough if you can control the urge..looking forward to some Balik Pulau durian soon. What are your recommendations bro?

@@kelvinfoo7785 I think wait one more week bro, prices will drop further!

Boikot... very effective...price will go down...😆
