Durians of Balik Pulau

 

In Penang, Malaysia, the best place to get good durians is in the town of

Balik Pulau, on the southwest corner of Penang Island. Balik Pulau is a 30

minute drive over the main range and has a lot of durian estates.

 

The following is a selection of branded durians which I photographed during

the 2004 and 2006 AsiaExplorers Durian Feasts.

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.

The D604 was first cultivated by the late Mr. Teh Hew Hong of Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The flesh 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.

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 bitter-sweet 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.

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 favourite durians. Although its flesh is whitish, the taste is, 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 Durian

 

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 belong to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh which is slightly dry but tastes good.

Ooi Kyau (Tumeric Durian)

 

The name Ooi Kyau (tumeric) describes the colour 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.
