100 durian lovers tasted the King of Fruits at Balik Pulau Lim Brothers Farm

Every year, between May and August, durian lovers flock to roadside durian stalls and the numerous farms all around Balik Pulau, Penang for a taste of the King of Fruits. The durian is one fruit that draws visitors from near and far every year and it is no wonder as its creamy, sweet and rich flesh is unlike that of any other fruit. Hundreds of makeshift durian stalls will pop up all over the island during this period to offer all types of durians from the popular Musang King to the common durian kampung. It can be rather overwhelming as you are bound to find a durian stall, or even just a vendor on a motorbike offering durians from a basket, on every street corner and along busy main roads — especially Jalan Tun Sardon in Balik Pulau town.   Lim Brothers Farm offers a wide variety of hybrid durians such as Musang King, Or Chi (Black Stone), Hor Lor (Labu), Kun Poh, 101, D14, Capri and many more. They have more than 20 different types of durians from their durian orchards.The farm is open daily from 10am onward during late May until July.  The unsold durians don’t go to waste as the flesh is used to make the sticky sweet durian kuih, cooked over a simmering charcoal fire.
