Kanyaw Durian in Davao

We just discovered and tasted this Kanyaw Durian variety more than a week ago. We usually ask our suki which variety they would recommend that taste sweet and delicious. They suggested Kanyaw that time which they said is a variety from Malaysia. It tasted really sweet and delicious which in my opinion is good for those who would be eating durian for the very first time. They sell it for P40/kilo. This one below costs about P90 for about 2 1/4 kilos.

It isn’t that bitter in taste in fact I love the taste of it similar to the Chanee durian variety. Try eating it fresh which I like most since you can really appreciate the flavor. I think it taste a little different once you have frozen the durian.

“Kanyaw durian, Thailand’s best variety, is a light bearer with a thick fleshed, tasty fruit having less of the objectionable odor.”

There are other varieties that I want to taste like the Durian 101 or D101 as they call it I think. I think there are already so many varieties that I lost count already. I still miss the native durian and the delicious bitter taste and the smell which is not much present with the Kanyaw variety.

Durian is one of the many fruits that are abundant and can be found almost anywhere in the city now. If you want to buy durian, there is always near Magsaysay Park, or in Torres Street (our suki) corner Panganiban Street (that’s the first time I knew the name of that street LOL!) near the MIC Retreat House and fronting almost Bistro. They also sell at the corner of Lacson Street and Porras Street in Obrero. It’s between San Roque School and Papa Chings. They are usually there from 2PM to 12MN they say or maybe until the durian supply lasts. 🙂
