This might be a divisive post but KFL in Braybrook is selling Malaysian imported Musang King durians which are considered the best variety of durian fruit available.
They usually sell for over $30/KG so it's extremely good value at $19.99.
Buy it for yourself or sneak a few into your worst enemy's house to let stew :)
Bought a couple last week. Rather small. Between 1.1 - 1.4kg each. Hence, cheaper.
Owh! That's barely any flesh.
the seeds are generally tiny
I bought some from Doncaster on Saturday , mine 2 to 2.3kg each which is rather good size
did you by any chance weigh just the flesh+seed to see how much you get out of the 2-2.3kg?
If the whole durian not stored properly in high freezing temp while transiting, best avoid if you don’t want the soft and watery kind. Might as well get the air-sealed frozen type, they are actually not that bad. Also, must be direct sale from Malaysia, not from China! (Although exported from Malaysia to China)
i can confirm these are pretty dry , not wet at all . and yes agree that those vac pack ones are safer and cheaper if you do not know how to pick a durian .
Oh yeah and don’t get the one already cracked too! ;)
Ever since I had them while fresh in Thailand, I hadn't been able to convince myself to pay for the frozen ones in Australia. Surely someone can figure out a way to ship them overnight?
Air freight. Asian pilots flying will curse you for tempting them, western pilots will curse you for making them call a mayday over a suspected gas leak….
Anything is possible if you have the money.
I meant resellers, not end consumers.
Nope. If you want them fast, you have to pay for it.
The Aussie ones grown in NT are fresh
This is the first and probably only time i wish i was in melbourne right now
I have never had this in my life. Am I missing something?
just do it on your next trip in SEAsia, it'll be fresher and way cheaper.
surprised someone hasn’t started growing them in QLD ot NT …..australia has a big enough asian population to create a market for fresh grown ….. when i was in asia on holidays, didn’t really think durian smelt bad, but do think it tasted like chocolate and onion …..
I think there is a small number of durian growers in NT.

What is "rm"?
It’s the currency you pay to the sweaty durian stall owner next to the road.
