pic from : http://photography.nationalgeographic.comI do understand when some says "yuck!" to this king of fruit. Different people, different tongue, agreed.
I have a love-hate relationship with Durian. I loveeee the taste of Balik Pulau's durian, and my in law's durian collected from their very own orchard back in Kelantan. That's it. Other than that, I hate durians. I hate them, but I ate them, I consume almost everything in the world kan?
One who has taste Balik Pulau's durian, will agree with me that once you ate Balik Pulau's durian, other place's durian will not taste as good as Balik Pulau's. It's creamy, with nice texture and bitter sweet taste.
Balik Pulau has variety of durians choice, of course with different taste, these are what I remembered :
1. Hor Lor
2. Ang Hei (udang merah)
3. Kung Po

And, in Penang we have many durian stalls, which one could find easily in Bayan Lepas, Bayan Baru, Sungai Ara, Bukit Jambul, and in Balik Pulau itself. One of the famous stall is called stall Durian Cap Tapak Kaki (geli kan?), which famously known for their very delicious durians. This stall is located on the way up to Balik Pulau, if you're taking route from Bukit Jambul. Other location to find good durians :
1. Cap Tupai - also located at Bkt Jambul, way up to Balik Pulau
2. Jabatan Pertanian Relau - but you have to queue, lots of buyers.
3. Pertubuhan Peladang Stall - Balik Pulau's RNR (Hentian Balik Pulau), using the Bkt Jambul route.
4. Queensbay Mall durian stall - don;t remember the name, but somewhere near Queensbay Mall.

5. Sg Nibong Kecil - If u're from Relau/Sg Ara, heading to Bayan Baru's roundabout, you'll see a stall just opposite Sg Nibong's mosque, before the Bkt Jambul's traffic light.
So, durian lovers : try Penang's Durian Balik Pulau. You'll never forget the taste!
