Remember Auntie Micaela and Uncle John
Yeah. They want to try durian. Remember
you had durian the other day. Yeah. Okay. Should we go get some durian for them? Yeah.
Alright we're out here
close by to Pacific Ranch
So since our last durian video we've had a lot of our friends reach out to us like, hey
we wanna try durian too, which is awesome. So today we're gonna go to our very close friends, Micaela and John's house
To kind of share durian with them and see how they react to it.
But first we gotta grab durian, and it's early in the morning
but we had to grab durian early because we need it to be thawed out because
we can't get fresh durian here in America. At least not that I know of.
So we've got the frozen one in there
I really hope they have Musang King because I really want them to try that so let's go and look for that
I'm waiting for the wife to come in, me and Zae Zae are in here already
Hopefully these Americans love the durian we're going to share with them. Let's see how they respond to it
And I think it's gonna be hilarious to see their reaction
Let's go, Zae Zae. Oh you've even got your little bag with you today. Yep.
There's a doggy
Hi doggy, hi doggy!
So friendly. Yeah
Hi doggy, you want to join us?
Hello! Hi hi.
Hey what's up, how's it going? Good how you doing?
I still can't gauge if our friends here, if they are excited about this or if they're scared
I'm a little nervous
I've heard this thing is stinky. I heard you can't bring it on the plane because it's too stinky
They actually have signs in Asia, on public transportation.
You know, there's like, there's no shirts, no smoking, there's a no durian sign
This is what we're going to be eating today
It's not even been opened up yet
Nope we want to give you the full experience. Oh I'm glad we're doing this outside. Thank you.
Yeah, so this is like the more of the mild version. Okay, and so we'll start with that. Okay, and then we'll go to the really good stuff
Who's cutting this? Logesh is because none of us know how
Yeah, I don't know what to do.This thing is brutal.
Do you need help holding it. Yeah, do you need some help?
Here you go guys
This is durian in all its glory
All that work for this fruit
Do you guys want to smell that?
Oh now I smell it. I don't smell it.
Ohhh, I smell it now
At first it smells good then it doesn't
It smells good and rotten
So by the way guys like this one right here this is like the absolute highest grade
It's called Musang King and this alone cost $17.99
$17.99. Yeah
This better taste like gold
Okay, yeah, so you guys ready
Let's do it. As ready as I'm going to be
All right, Cindy, so we also have our Singaporean friend here today who is pretty familiar with
durian so are you gonna try some today?
Maybe, I haven't had it in years
Really when is the last you had it?
Like at least 5 years ago
Okay
Zae Zae
Do you like durian?
Yeah, so Zaden tried it for the first time last week and he loved it
Did he?
Yeah, he's gonna show you how to eat it
Do you just breathe out of your mouth so you don't have to smell it? Is that how you eat it?
And that's how you eat durian guys, see it's not really hard I promise
If a two year old can do it, you can do it
Should we pull it apart so it's not like taking the whole thing in the face
You can, or you can just have a bite from it
It's actually not bad after you eat it. Yeah? You get past the smell. It is pretty
creamy and it has like a pungent flavor to it.
Like a
like a piece of garlic, I don't know
The smell doesn't adequately like, it doesn't reflect the taste of it at all. No? It's got like this biodiesel fragrance.
No, it actually...
I need to get used to it but I don't think it's bad by any means
Like, I'll still eat it, yeah, and this is great so far
Okay great, she's having more bites look at that
Alright, John
Okay
How is that?
You need a bigger bite than that. I do need a bigger bite.
Grab it by the seed and then bite into it
Okay, he went in
Yeah, I don't, I don't know about this fruit. It taste a little bit like vom, like vomit a little bit
How about hold your breath and then take a bite
I have I have been doing that
Hold the seed, you're making it look gross.
It comes naturally like that
Now the taste maybe a little bit of sugar on it might help it
I don't love it
Alright, that's fair, that's fair.
John, you're doing a thousand times better though than my first time trying durian. So you're doing good. I couldn't even get past...
The smells really intense. Mm-hmm. The smell is really intense.
you did pretty well for a first time. I can appreciate that.
Evan
Gonna eat this
I should have got you guys to like sign waivers first.
Yeah. I'm gonna eat this partially digested food thing fruit
You can do it, I believe in you. I'm sure you ate worse things in Iraq. Mm-hmm.
Ohh no. All I taste is garlic. That's it.
All garlic like super strong garlic, like not good garlic with food, but garlic like overwhelming
I can't do it. Sorry. Yeah, it's got a sticky taste to it. I quit.
That's fair that's fair.
And my eyes are watering
Yeah, I'm gonna try it one more time. Okay, okay. Just in case it changes because the smell changed for me so
Nope, it's the same.
Overwhelming garlic and onion, like bad.
Smells like a garlic melon, like if you like seasoned it with garlic and onion or something
Should I go for it? Yeah go for it.
It's like a custard
There you go
the texture
Flavor is like garlic. It's like having a dessert, but it's like not you know, it's like a garlic flavor
It's like savory but sweet. Yeah.
Which I kinda like usually. Not bad. Not bad?
No. Do you want to try like a second bite. Yeah if I can get this one down
It gets better, it's like an acquired taste
As you keep taking bites it gets better. I think you you afraid of it because it's different than everything else
You're used to, if you don't think about it in a weird slimy way
Mm-hmm. That's good.
Cindy's here just quietly eating by herself
While you guys were trying it Zaden downed three pieces
Zaden ate like what? Three pieces.
That's my boy right there
And he's asking for Musang King.
And you have your Singaporean blood in you.
Yah, I'm a Singaporean so I eat it
So this one is IOI
You should give Evan the smallest piece
There's a baby piece right here for ya
That tastes a little different yeah
It tastes like how I imagined a smell might taste
Like you smell like some garlic and it's like a garlic thing it's like roasted garlic
In socks
Nope.
Still no?
Oh wow that is way stronger
Oh my god. Oh my god.
It's still there in the back my throat. It's all good man.
Kudos to you for even trying dude. Thank you. I'm proud of you.
It's not bad.
Just reminds me of garlic and onion even now I'm like mentally thinking. Yeah, it's garlic and onions
It's like yeah, it tastes like something that you'd smell. I mean, I'm trying to associate a taste I've ever had
It's similar to this. Like sauteing something. I feel like that's what this is.
This is what it tastes like with garlic. There's like burnt garlic going on
With a tint of sweetness
With like, it's like burnt garlic and mango, and really limp mango
Guys I absolutely cannot wait for all my, what my audience gonna say about your descriptions of it.
Leave down in the comments below
what you think about their description of the fruit
This one is actually, you can tell it's a different grade. Mm-hmm. Definitely a lot of garlic flavor
This ones not as sweet. Or maybe it is.
It comes in like different phases.
Zaden is putting you all to shame right now.
Don't wipe it on yourself
He's eaten four pieces so far you guys.
Alright, so this one is Musang King, which is the highest grade we can find here
We've heard a lot about this new one called black thorn which were unable to find in America
This is the best we can offer you guys. So it's called, it's Malaysian durian. It's called Musang King
It's the best of the best. It's supposed to be
Alright. Cheers. For me the best of the worse. Durian cheers.
Here we go
It's pretty good.
I'm not trying to be gross
This is a little more mango tasting.
First bite is the pungent part
But then after you kind of like have it marinating, I feel like it's not it like kind of dies down
It's just more potent, I think that's probably the best way to put it
It's like it's just like the first one but amplified like times 10
I think this the last most recent one is definitely the best one. Mm-hmm. For sure
It's interesting that even though you don't enjoy the page. You can tell that it's better. I can tell it's better. Yeah
I love that you're still trying it. I'm trying to like it. I'm trying to enjoy it
Well, it took Rachel like I don't know, three or four tries before she's like, you know what it's actually not bad
I'll say that the first one actually
The first one is actually quite good now that I've had the various levels
I think I prefer the more muted one now that I can pick up what it's supposed to taste like
Rachel actually likes that the best. Yeah
The texture is different too. Like I feel like this one starts being like cotton candy at the end
It's like when you're chewing it and it doesn't go away
Yeah, it was like lingering, and that one felt more creamier, I don't know why
Alright guys, so first of all kudos, to you guys for trying something new from my home country
It's really cool to kinda share a little bit about Malaysia with you guys
Thanks for sharing with us
So some final thoughts what do you guys think of durian
Not bad, I wouldn't buy it. But if it was out, I would probably try it again
maybe if you bought it over again and like it wasn't such a
Hot item and the only item to eat then I would eat it again
It's a heavy on the garlic and a little bit of mango, two things I love when they're separated but together
I don't know how much I love them together. Probably would not buy it or seek it out. Okay.
Won't buy it, won't seek it out
The first two hated it. The last one, the higher-quality one was sweeter and tolerable, but I probably won't try it again. Okay.
Savory sweet that does have the onion garlic kind of taste to it
But it is a little bit sweet kind of lingers in your mouth kind of hard to go down
Like I was just like pieces in my mouth that wouldn't go down
Especially for the first piece, but I would eat it again.
Definitely want to try the ice cream. Okay, cool. Yeah, next time I'll bring you guys some ice cream.
Thanks guys for trying this
Still tastes the same, still pretty good, I would eat it again
And it's your first time trying Musang King, right? Yes.
So what do you think about Musang King compared to like the others
I think the flavor is a little intense. I think I like the Sau Ri the best. Okay.
Which is which one? The first one.
Yeah, kinda like Rachel. Yeah, that is the one I like
it's little bit more mild it's a little less potent.
