1. D101
The D101 durian packs layers of gentle flavours that’s mildly sweet and buttery with slightly sour notes. D101 is a common favourite for many durian lovers and children who prefer indulging in sweet durians!
2. D13
Known as a ‘kampung’ breed, the D13 durian is another household favourite. With its bright orange flesh and sweet, fragrant taste, D13 is a delicious sticky treat for those who enjoy less pungent flavours.
Tekka
If you’re a true durian connoisseur, the rare Tekka durian is a must-try. It might not be the most aesthetically-pleasing with its pale yellow flesh and irregular shaped seeds, but it surely makes up for it in the taste department. Tekka durian’s complex sweet, floral, and bitter flavours make it a highly-raved variant for those who have tasted it!
D1
The D1 durian is milky and sweet. The flesh is slightly crunchy on the surface, but will slip off the seeds with ease. If you’re just starting out, D1 durian is one to try!
Red Prawn
The Red Prawn durian stands out from the rest of the variants with its unique bright orange flesh. It has a dense and creamy texture coupled with a sweet taste and a tinge of bitterness. Perfect for you if you want to try a sweet durian that’s different from the rest!
Hor Lor
The Hor Lor durian has an elongated shape – very much like its name in Hokkien (a gourd). This durian is another pick for people who prefer a less overwhelming flavour. The uncommon Hor Lor has ivory-coloured flesh with mild flavours and notes of sweetness, making it easily palatable!
