Bought the above durian just now and ate half of it already. It cost $7, instead of $8, after I ask the seller to give me a better price (I am very cheapo). Since I am buying, I took the chance to shamelessly ask about how to choose a good one from just looking at the box.
There are many videos on how to choose a good durian, but I never seen one about how to choose from boxes. One of the methods is actually to press the durian. But most durian sellers will give you a good scolding if you try that.
Below are my observations
- Do not choose the one with wrinkled skin. It can mean it is already watery due to being over-ripe.
- Some durian meat seems to have some bruises on them, like dark spots on it. Avoid them, the meat is hard.
- Choose one which look shiny and fresh. A dry and dull looking one is usually under-ripe, and they are hard and taste horrible.
The one in the picture taste pretty good. The meat looks fresh and shiny, the skin is firm and not wrinkled. And by the way, the type of the durian is called 'Butter'.
