Chinese consumers snap up 80,000 durians after Alibaba signs 3 billion yuan food deal with Thai gove

malayisan durians are more sought after than thai ones...

Taiwan province has, too.

But, I guess here people do not like it much. Especially the smell.

European cheese too have a terrible smell, to us Malaysian/Asians, but people have come to appreciate it. Early Chinese and Indian immigrants disliked durians too. Taste can be acquired, just need more exposure.

I know, I lived in Singapore for quite a while

But could never get to eating Durian haha, I did eventually acquire taste for Jackfruit though (my south indian genes probably kicked in finally after some period of dormancy on the issue given I lived in HK in childhood).

Dude, there is a unique specie of jackfruit in my house in India, it has the best jackfruit you’ll ever taste.

Thai durian is very popular in China

Thai durians taste quite different from Malaysian durians. I prefer the Malaysian one. Thai durians feels too wet and overripe for me.
