The King of Fruits is an acquired taste. With its strong aroma, creamy texture and sweet flesh, it is not what one expects of a fruit, and therefore can be quite jarring to the uninitiated. Those that love it however, come from near and far to get a taste of the very best.

At Balik Pulau, there is a farm to cater to each durian lover’s taste, from hybrid to organic to the good old kampung durian (wild durian). Although one can debate about which type of durian is the best tasting, it remains indisputable that Balik Pulau is the place to savour the freshest durians in Penang
