Tourists often visit Malaysia for the unique experience of tasting durian. A quick comparison of Thailand and Malaysian durians:
1. Harvesting Methods:
- 🇹🇭 Thai Durians: Harvested directly from the tree before they are fully ripe (75-85% maturity). This method gives them a firmer, crunchier texture. 🥭🔪
- 🇲🇾 Malaysian Durians: Left to ripen naturally on the tree until they fall. This allows a natural fermentation process, resulting in a richer, stronger flavour. 🌳🍂
2. Taste and Texture:
- 🇹🇭 Thai Durians: Known for their milder aroma, sweet flavour, and firm, crunchy texture. Perfect for those who like a less intense durian experience. 🍬🍏
- 🇲🇾 Malaysian Durians: Especially the famous Musang King (Mao Shan Wang), are prized for their creamy, custard-like flesh and complex bitter-sweet taste. Ideal for durian enthusiasts who crave bold flavours! 🍮🌰
3. Aroma:
- 🇹🇭 Thai Durians: Generally have a milder smell, making them more approachable for those new to durians. 🌸
- 🇲🇾 Malaysian Durians: Often have a stronger, more distinctive aroma, which durian lovers describe as the "true" durian experience. 🌼🔥
4. Market and Export:
- 🇹🇭 Thailand: The largest exporter of durians globally, making up about 95% of the market. Large-scale production is geared towards international consumers. 🌍📦
- 🇲🇾 Malaysia: Focuses on high-quality varieties, like Musang King 🦊👑, which are considered premium and sold at higher prices. 🍾💎
