Malaysian D101 red flesh durian, it is usually sweet, with a soft texture, the flesh is not thick, there is no omph factor, and it has a sour aftertaste. For those who like sweet durian and children, this goes down smoothly. Considering value for money from the peak season, the price is far lower than many varieties, but it is a large durian with many seeds.Its flavor is relatively mild, but it wins on being fragrant, smooth and sweet, making it easier for people to accept, andthe texture is like cream, and it is called "Johor's special creamy flavor".
Visual: The durian is usually large, 2-3 kg, with a very regular shape, usually with 5 sides. The color of the shell is usually denser and darker. The thorns are long and pointed, and I sometimes feel sorry for sellers because they are often pricked by D101 thorns.
Texture, taste, aroma (flesh): usually tastes sweet, with a sour aftertaste, orange (sellers and consumers will associate it with 'ang bak' or red flesh in local terms [when it is actually not red]). The flesh is usually soft, rather than “thick/sticky” on the throat.
Weight: 2.1kg
Sides: 5
Number of seeds: 15
Taste test: This selection is on the sweeter side, mildly bitter, 6/4. The flesh is smooth and soft. There is a 'kam kam' taste. Aroma-wise, it suits those who like sweet durian with a slightly vegetal note.
Musang King
Flesh color: bright yellow
Taste: sweet with a slightly astringent note, delicate flesh, strong aftertaste (the most bitter type, with an extremely strong durian flavor, not everyone can handle it, yet it is the local favorite top-grade variety)
To ensure the quality of Musang King, the Malaysian government stipulates that Musang King can only be exported frozen to guarantee quality. At the same time, Musang King is a variety unique to Malaysia.
Golden Phoenix
One of the smallest durians, even only the size of a mango.
Flesh color: yellowish white
Taste: sweet with a slight astringency, with a wine aroma, but the smell is strong, and the aftertaste has a faint floral fragrance

As the name suggests, the longer XO durian is stored, the richer its aroma becomes.
Therefore, when choosing XO durian, you should choose those that are riper and have more moisture, as such XO durian is more fragrant.

This is a new variety hybridized only in recent years. D100's flesh is very thick. It should be noted that once placed in the refrigerator, D100's flesh will harden and the texture will be poor.
Red Prawn

Widely sought after in Malaysia. The color of this durian's flesh is orange-red, and it is named for this, with a bittersweet taste.
Gourd
This variety is named for its gourd-like appearance, and the flesh is characterized by being thick and densely creamy in texture.
Gourd durian is very rare in Singapore, but it has won the Penang Durian Award multiple times! This durian has a very dense texture, similar to peanut butter, and carries an aroma similar to cocoa and coffee beans.
Kradum Durian
Kradum durian is one of Thailand's first-generation durian varieties. It has not undergone much modern improvement and is hailed as the first-generation durian king, the most original durian variety in Thailand.
The ripening period of Kradum durian is extremely short; it can only be eaten in March of the year.
Monthong Durian
Small seeds, flesh is pale yellow or milky yellow.
Taste: Thai Monthong tastes sweet and glutinous, with a relatively mild flavor, suitable for entry-level durian lovers.
Kanyao Durian
The most highly praised highlight of Kanyao durian is none other than its wonderful texture: the flesh is gelatinous, with an ice-cream-like smooth mouthfeel, soft, glutinous and sweet.
In particular, Kanyao durian's flesh is especially delicate and smooth, yet it does not become mushy; it has little moisture and is honeyed, and its sweetness is also higher than that of Monthong durian, making it truly the king of texture among durians!
