Penang Durian Tour

Midsummer June is prime durian season! Penang, Malaysia, known as the "home of durian," welcomes the most anticipated and delicious time of the year. This season, the city is filled with rich, fruity aromas, making it the perfect time for durian lovers to make a pilgrimage.

I took a three-hour flight from Hong Kong to Penang. The local durian varieties are diverse, ranging from the premium "Musang King" and the rich "Black Thorn" to the sweet "Red Prawn" and the rarely seen "White Jade Pearl" in Hong Kong. Each offers a unique taste experience. We recommend visiting the Fruit Treasure Farm, where you can personally experience the joy of picking and eating fresh durians in a RAV4. The golden, plump flesh melts in your mouth, and the rich aroma blooms in your mouth, making it an unparalleled culinary feast.

In addition to the durian buffet, you can also arrange a tour of the durian farm to learn about the cultivation process and see the characteristics of different varieties. Don't forget to pair it with a mangosteen to break the greasy feeling and experience the perfect combination of the "King of Fruits" and the "Queen of Fruits."

A 2-3-day itinerary is recommended, combining a visit to Penang's UNESCO World Heritage sites and exploring its authentic cuisine to make your durian adventure truly memorable. Plan your trip to Penang now to seize the once-a-year durian season and savor this fleeting feast!

Warm Tip: Durian has a warming effect, so it's best enjoyed with herbal tea or salt water to avoid excessive consumption.
