The King of Fruits aka Durian (Durio / Durioneae Family's) Season is started its early stages this year. Some said that the peak time will be somewhere in September, here in North Borneo Island. During peak time <--- Mean every farmer has their own Durian's for sale, so the price will be drop drastically!
Talking about the Durian prices it is relatively high as it is seasonal fruits and sold by kilogram (kg). The prices basically defend on the type of the Durian itself or quality and off course the seller! Based on the current tag price, they are sold for MYR6 - 20 per Kilogram. So, be wise to select the good fruit, do sniff too and do negotiate till satisfied because you pay the outer skin of the fruit but then you don't eat 'em.
Delicious as indescribable flavor, silky-white within, mass-creamed BUT please avoid eat this Durians with Carbohydrate drinks such as Beer, Coke & etc,..believed some eater experience a body heat up and stomach explode! mighty but could be true. I know someone had die by doing this and I cannot say this mighty is not true!!!
Again, Be Aware that ...... its odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.
P/s: The Durian's best enjoyed at the seller premises or at any open area such as Beach, Park, waterfall...as its odor did not tampering your home healthy smell, your car or your private room...:P but again, dont drink a beer with it for at least 3 / 4 hours. You don't believe you can try...no harm to try!!!
