Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Combat Durian is a reputable durian dealer in Singapore, where youll find amazing Musang King durians. Get more details on Compared to other foods I ate in Singapore, durian is a little bit different its the only all natural, uncooked, and unprepared, right off the tree delicacy I had. The reason I had to include durian on my must eat list of foods is not only because its the King of Fruit and such an amazing natural creation, but also because Im a bit addicted to durian and I cant resist any opportunity to eat it. Combat Durian - Known as Combat Durian because they want you to come back, or rather after eating one of their durians youll want to come back immediately - or just sleep for a little while and wake up and eat another durian. I showed up in the mid-afternoon, and the durian was all on display and ready to be sold. One of the varieties of durian that Combat is most well known for is Musang King, which in Chinese is called Mao Shan Wang, and in English is called Cat Mountain King. The type of durian is originally from Malaysia, and even the durians sold at Combat are grown in Malaysia on the private farm of the owner of the shop. Ying and I chose a nice almost 2 kilo durian, which cost me a total of 32 SGD, which is very expensive for a fruit, but after eating it, I can tell you it was definitely worth every dollar. After choosing our fruit and cutting it up, we took a seat at one of the red tables and began to feast. The lumps of the Musang King durian were very yellow, like butter, and had a waxy shiny skin on each piece. The fruit was perfectly ripe, and it was one of the creamiest things Ive ever had in my life - like whipped cream, sweet like honey, and with a tinge of a bitterness to contrast it all. It was indeed probably the best durian Ive ever had in my life. Ying and I sat there in almost near silence, apart from lots of groaning, and finishing off our Mao Shan Wang. The final bite was a little bitter sweet, knowing it was the end, but knowing that I had just consumed one of the best durians I had ever eaten in my life. Combat Durian Address: 249 Balestier Rd, Singapore Open hours: 12 pm 12 am midnight daily Prices: For a Mao Shan Wang the price was 20 SGD per kg, and ours cost a total of 32 SGD How to get there: The closest MRT station in Novena, and I walked from there in about 15 minutes. But alternatively you can jump on bus #154

Durians to the South East Asians is like Wagyu to the Japanese. There are alot of breeds and Musang King is considered as the Creme of the Corp. Although there are even higher grades like the Old Tree Musang King, Black Gold and the Black Thorn. Which is a type of the Musang King breed. Thailand has a breed named Kanyao which they are proud of. And they sell it freeze dried. The Musang King breed is the most novice friendly. Liken to Cheddar vs Blue Cheese. Actually freezing it suppresses the smell and retains the creamy buttery bittersweet taste. Nowadays even Mainland China is aqquiring the taste for it. Mainland China receives them frozen. They will either heat it up in the microwave oven if not they will throw it in the BBQ pit, where the natural sugar gets caramelized.

Not to be mean but this is a food that you really have to be eating from a baby. My friend from Thailand brought me some. i tried just a small piece and it tasted like soggy rotten garlic with a tiny bit of sweetness & it smells SOOOO BAD. about 30 mins after eating it i started burping. and OMG I DIDNT STOP IT SMELLS LIKE DEATH I didnt stop burping for several hours and EVERY SINGLE BURP SMELLED like the first one and i got really hot and sweaty for awhile. Its something i will NEVER eat again in life. how ppl crave this thing i will never understand.

after watching your clip, I really would like to try Musang. I used to hate Durian. But once I tried eating Durain at Morakot Market in Chumphon, That totally changed my mind. I deeply understood why it's so called King of Fruit since then. Morakot Market 's also founder told me that most of Durian sold in Thailand is not the nice one as most of the best one always be exported to china causing the A-grade Durian is so rare in Thailand. The left will be sold in Thailand as Durian Onn which is not quite good.

Sorry to digress, but can any kind soul please enlighten me on why Mao Shan Wang durians are so damn expensive? Is it only because of demand of there are other valid reasons? Most durian shops I patronize here in Singapore sell it at 22-25 dollars per KG. I ended up paying around 35 dollars for just one small sized Mao Shan Wang durian because it weighed above 1KG. It left me wondering if I was cheated. Any expert here?

I bought this once in Texas from an Asian market and it was frozen, I guess that's how they ship it from overseas, and I was NOT impressed with it and threw it away. It may be better at these places where it's fresh and ripe.

Since you like durian very much with variety of ways to eat I suggest you try 'pengat durian' or 'serawa' or 'durian pulut santan'. Its a kind of dessert, combination of durian, coconut milk and sticky rice.

If you go to Kuching, Sarawak during durian fruit season you can enjoy all varieties of durians at a cheap price and enjoy eating it everyday. You can never be fed up with it. Welcome to Borneo.
