The most popular and well-loved durian in Singapore and around the world is the Mao Shan Wang durian, popularly known as the Musang King! With so many people drooling over the creamy bittersweet king of durians, its prices have surged tremendously over the years – in Malaysia, MSW costs have increased by more than 200 percent, and prices in China have increased by more than 400 percent. As its name suggests, the Mao Shan Wang ascends to the throne, triumphant over all other durians.
How can I know if a durian is Mao Shan Wang or not?
There are various clues point to the Mao Shan Wang durian:
While most durians may have a minor star-like pattern, MSW’s star pattern is distinct and noticeable, with each point of the star pulling up into vertical lines that run up the durian.
The ring surrounding the bottom of the MSW durian’s stem is brown and without spikes. You can identify the durian kind by scratching the stem, but scratching the stem also lets you assess whether your MSW durian is good.
MSW durians feature short, broad, pyramid-shaped spikes, as opposed to skinnier, longer, rounder spikes on other durians.
When sucked on, the beautiful yellow flesh of the mao shan wang durian will slip smoothly off the seed – and at this time, you should be enjoying the rich, creamy, bittersweet taste of your chosen MSW durian.
