Travel Lawas Durian Guide

November 15, 2019 2 Comments

There was only one reason we Durian-Obsessed peeps got interested in Lawas — Durian. This tiny little sliver of Sarawak is famous for it. But, once we started hanging out in this sleepy, tourist-free town, we realized that it’s really a beautiful area with plenty of cool nature-things to do between all the durian snacking. […]

Suluk King at Lo’s Lawas Durian Farm

November 13, 2019 1 Comment

A friend of a friend of a friend told us we needed to go visit Mr. Lo to taste the best Lawas durian farm. So one fine day in early December, a hungry group of us durian munchers traveled to the small town of Lawas, in northern Sarawak. Waiting for us was something pretty special. […]

Malaysia 2019 Durian Season Guide

May 7, 2019 49 Comments

Oops. It’s already May, and if it were any other normal durian year, durians would be dropping in Malaysia and I’d be apologizing to all you durian munchers for being so tardy in releasing the Malaysia 2019 Durian Guide. Luckily durians are late this year too. Keep scrolling down to see lists of recommended durian […]

Up the Rajang: Belaga Durian Guide

February 17, 2019 3 Comments

Belaga is a very small town on the Rajang River, the longest river in Sarawak. It’s further than Sibu, or Song, or even Kapit. Past the Pelagus Rapids along about 120km of brown, ever narrowing river, you’ll find your way to Belaga. So far from the coast, I imagined Belaga to be up in the […]

Merarap Hot Spring Durian Farm | Lawas, Sarawak

December 22, 2018 4 Comments

Does relaxing in a natural hot spring in the jungles of Borneo, munching durian under a black and star speckled sky, sound like a dream come true? Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too when I decided to travel 2 1/2 hours into the Iran mountain range to visit the Merarap Hot Spring Lodge Durian […]

Grafted Wild Durian Hybrids in Limbang, Sarawak

November 24, 2018 7 Comments

Many people in Sarawak sell durian along the main roads during the season, usually in tied-up piles (ikat) or loose piles (tompok). One of the few places (maybe the only place) where you can sit-down to have a comfortable durian meal at a durian-stall-type setting, ala Peninsular Malaysia, is Madam Ting’s just 5km outside of […]

Pekan Lachau Jungle Fruit Bathroom Break | Sarawak

November 15, 2018 2 Comments

Pekan Lachau is a blip along Sarawak’s only highway, but it happens to be perfectly situated just far enough from everything that most travelers will need to pull over for a pee. It’s a great business opportunity that the local Iban tribespeople have taken advantage of, not only by charging for access to their mostly-clean […]

Limbang Durian Kura Kura | Sarawak

February 11, 2018 7 Comments

Finding durian kura kura (Durio testudinarum) in Limbang was annoyingly easy. It almost made me mad. It was just there, at the daily market, sold in a pile like every other random and equally rare fruit. A few years ago, I rode a bus over 36 hours, slept on the floor without a mosquito net, […]

Lawas Durian & Waterfall Adventure at Sebatang Durian Farm

February 6, 2018 3 Comments

But we were about to go directly to a farm to eat durian and fruits, so I tried to hold back and preserve my appetite for what was coming next. Good thing I did too, because Joseph had a huge fruit buffet waiting for us. About Sebatang Durian Farm Joseph Yusuf Tai and his 5 […]
