DURIAN KING TTDI | Feasting Musang King, Durian Cendol at Durian King TTDI

DURIAN KING TTDI - Malaysian are a crazy lot when it comes to their durians especially Musang King Durian. They want to source for the best quality at the lowest durian prices to satisfy their cravings.


For me, the best time to eat Durian is when it is at the peak season. The reason being is, it will be the best quality as the fruits are at their best and secondly it will be at the best price. 

For me, I will usually go to the Durian King TTDI for my durian feasting due to the above 2 reason. 

Also at Durian King TTDI, you will also be able to feast on the prized Black Thorn durian (probably the only Durian stall in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Petaling Jaya (PJ) that sells this variety but too bad, I did not get to taste this Durian this time around.

Durian King TTDI also sells a variety of other Durian Species namely the XO, D101, Udang Merah and so forth.

You can check out their Durian King TTDI facebook page for the latest prices of their Musang King and other varieties.

Also not to be missed is the Durian Cendol from Durian King TTDI.

RAUB DURIAN FARM Orchard Visit And Durian Buffet @Durian Wonderland

Raub Pahang - The Musang King Durian Town

Raub Durian Farm Orchard Visit And Durian Buffet @Durian Wonderland

The Raub town in Pahang is the also popularly known as the Musang King Town where there are many durian orchards and farm surroundings this serene town. The Musang King varieties is most planted in this town and henceforth as known as the Musang King Town

Raub durian season will start in the month of July 2018. For fans of Musang King, the wait is counting down to taste one of the best King Of Fruit variety. We had a first-hand look recently to explore the hype about this to a number of durian orchard courtesy of Durian Wonderland.


Durian Tree Grafting Durian Wonderland
Durian Tree Grafting

Durian Wonderland has more than 60 acres of land in and around Raub Pahang which has been planted with this prized varieties of Musang King durian. Ranging from young farm to mature orchard, Durian Wonderland has pioneered the process of getting maximum yield per tree thru its investment in the water, drainage and management system to ensure that the durian tree is nurtured in the best possible environment.

Water Pump Station at Durian Wonderland
Water Pump Station

During our farm/orchard visit, we can see that the pathway and lining of each of the durian trees are well spaced to create a conducive environment for the durian tree to grow. Each durian tree is supplied with a water sprinkling system to ensure nutrient and water are sent to each of these trees.
With this control and time-based function; the number of staff required will be at a minimum. According to the owner; this is a very efficient way to ensure the timely delivery of the nutrient which is added to the water are delivered to each of the trees.

Another key importance is the cleanliness of the durian farm orchard. We notice that the grass is well kept and are constantly being trimmed. This reduces the chances of mosquito breeding and other insects and pests that might be lurking around. We were at the farm in the middle of nowhere for more than 2 hours and did not encounter even one mosquito - quite fascinating.

Frozen Durian For Export at Durian Wonderland
Frozen Durian For Export
As most of the Musang King durian from Durian Wonderland is slated for export; there are a few standards that need to be maintained at each of the farm/orchards at all time.

Grade B Durian at Durian Wonderland
Grade B Durian That Are Removed

For this priced Musang King Durian; the harvesting is another key process. Each day the worker will scout around each tree to ensure that only grade A quality will be allowed to grow. The B and lesser grade are cut off from the tree to ensure only the Grade A is left to flourish. A stroll around the estate we see a lot of small little durians littered around the pathway. These are the B-Grade Musang King that are trimmed off.

Musang King at Durian Wonderland

At Durian Wonderland Kuala Lipis farm which is more than 20 over years; there are a number of varieties of durian that are planted here which includes the D24 varieties, D101, Golden Phoenix and of course the prized Musang King.

Harvesting Musang King at Durian Wonderland

Although not really in full season we got to taste these few varieties at the farm. Eating durian at the farm really makes a lot of difference. With the chirping birds and other interesting sounds of the forest, the kampung ambience was so perfect setting for a nice durian buffet in the middle of the durian farm.

Harvesting Musang King at Durian Wonderland

What's more, we were lucky that there were a few durians which were freshly harvested for us to taste as well, although the quality will not be as good as in full season. You can't get to eat durian any fresher from this. 

Durian Buffet D101 at Durian Wonderland

We started off with the D101

then the Kampung Durian, Golden Phoneix 

Raub Musang King Durian Buffet at Durian Wonderland

and lastly the Musang King 

Frozen Musang King Durian Buffet at Durian Wonderland

And yes, we have a taste  Frozen Durian in whole for the first which is the Frozen Musang King. Notice the ice forming at the fruit and husk.

Frozen Golden Phoenix Durian Buffet at Durian Wonderland

while the second one is the Frozen Golden Phoenix. These are the types of Frozen that the China consumers prefer. It is like eating durian ice cream. But as a Durian aficionado, eating durian as it is fresh from the husk is the best way you can ever have to taste the prized durian.


Our last stop is to the new develop Durian Farm which is located next to the trunk road leading to Kuala Lipis. This farm is fully planted with Musang King varieties. You can view the young durian tree with an elaborate water system that pumps water and nutrients to each and every tree on the farm.

Young Durian Farm Kuala Lipis at Durian Wonderland

The age of each durian is between 3 to 8 months and according to Ah Fatt, each month, the tree growth is around 1 feet and he said that in 2.5 years to 3, we could see the first harvest from this trees.

Bentong Durian Buffet Stall at Durian Wonderland

As part of the effort to promote the eating durian culture, Durian Wonderland has a small farm in Bentong. At this farm during the full season of Durian, they will have a Durian Buffet at this place. So durian fans, do watch out and find out the latest info on this durian buffet at the durian stall in Bentong offering from Durian Wonderland Facebook page on the date availability for the Durian Buffet.

Raub Durian Farm Orchard

Overall this few durian farm visit in Raub and Kuala Lipis has been a very nice experience on how to plant a good grade Musang King Durian and henceforth our deepest appreciation of the taste, flavour and aroma of this species of durian the next time we have a durian feast.

Durian Wonderland also offers the Durian Farm Orchard visit; you can make the arrangement with them thru their Durian Wonderland website.

Durian King TTDI 榴莲王 - Durian Season 2017 Is Here


Durian is one of the most prized fruits in Malaysia. This year 2017 has been a year where Durian prices have skyrocketed to more than RM100.00 per kg for Musang King during the pre-season.


The other reason for the price increase was due to the China factor; we last heard that Musang King was selling as high as RM500.00 per kg in China.


Now as the season progress, you can now enjoy the King of Fruits that have come down to reasonably priced. We got to taste the Musang King at Durian King TTDI recently which they are retailing at RM53.00 per kg.

Hopefully, as the season progress, we can get to enjoy a more sumptuous feast of the Malaysian treats. Do check out the prices from Durian TTDI facebook page for the latest prices.


One of the other treats at Durian King TTDI is the availability of the Black Thorn species with its pungent flavour, thick and meaty texture is a must for me.


At Durian King TTDI, you can request to be served the Chilled Whole Durian; it gives you that extra kick especially for those that love to eat Durian that is kept in the fridge. The difference is that this whole Durian which is kept chilled has a firmer texture compared to those that are kept in the fridge (which tends to be a little mushy).


Another specialty at Durian King TTDI is the the Durian Cendol which for me is a must taste. From RM15.00 per bowl with a scoop of Durian.


For those that like to know how to spot a Musang King and Black Thorn can refer to our previous link.
