| King of Fruits (durians) |

Ang Sim (Red Heart) Ang Sim is a durian with flesh, which is quite soft and very sweet, and dark yellow in color. 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 bittersweet 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-shaped husk. The orange reddish flesh is highly aromatic, very soft with a bittersweet 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 Durian) Yah Kang is one of my favorite 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 D17 D17 is dark cream flesh. The taste is slightly dry but sweet. It is a tasty durian. Coupling 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 belongs to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh, which is slightly dry but tastes good Ooi Kyau (Turmeric Durian) The name Ooi Kyau (turmeric) describes the color 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 cantaloupe. 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 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 late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau, first cultivated the D604. 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.

Well, I didn't know that there were a variety of durians! I had heard that durians smelt really bad, but I've been past lots of durian stalls here in Malaysia & haven't yet smelt any bad smells!
