It's time to eat arguably the stinkiest fruit in the world, the king of fruits DURIAN! We visit Durian SS2 in Petaling Jaya and select an XO durian to try.

We are with fellow YouTubers Always a Friday (https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCWmBYPbsGaGDOo3UE who have never tried durian before.

If you've never tried durian, people describe the smell as putrid, like farts, or vomit or sewerage. The worst smells in the world. We think it smells fragrant and the taste to us is AMAZING. The texture of the fruit is akin to a custard or whipped cream. It's a MUST EAT when you're in Malaysia whose durians are exported all around the world.

We sampled the XO durian which was RM55/$12.80USD per kilo. The cheapest durian available was the Asli at RM18/$4USD per kilo and the most expensive was the Musang King at RM85/$20USD per kilo.

Durian is known for being a 'heaty' food. The Chinese believe certain foods have warming properties and it's important after you've consumed these foods to balance the body by eating foods with cooling properties such as coconut water. The fresh coconuts at Durian SS2 were RM5/$1.20USD.
