Protip: the cultivar of durian matters, and is what I suspect makes many foreigners dislike durian (since they're likely to buy the cheapest to hedge their risk). Musang King (mentioned in the article, though some unscrupulous sellers might pass D101 off as it) and D24 are favourites among the locals. The cheapest is usually either Red Prawn, Green Bamboo, or Black Pearl, which aren't that great. I think this article is pretty decent in describing the more common durian cultivars found in Malaysia: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/hail-the-king-of-fruit-10-types-of-durians-from-malaysia https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/hail-the-king-of-frui...
