What’s every Malaysian’s wildest dream? To eat the pungent, yellow fleshed, thorny fruit that we’ve grown to love - the durian - every day of the year, 24/7.
It wouldn’t have earned the title ‘King of Fruits’ if a majority of the Malaysian population didn’t have a weird obsession about this fruit (and of course, because of its notorious taste and smell).
It comes in many shapes and sizes and has a of variety flavours. The name of the durians are also very localised – we’ve got udang merah, musang king, and mao shan wang just to name a few.
So, where does one actually satisfy their cravings for this sinfully sweet and smelly fruit? Well, we’ve listed out a few durian havens you can find in the Klang Valley that you can visit and eat your heart out. You can also bring your friends, your family and your whole office for a durian burp fiesta!

This is the real, OG durian buffet in Klang Valley! With only a flat rate of RM9, you could enjoy their D24 durian buffet. But of course, that rate was years ago and now they’ve revised it to RM16, which is still cheap considering it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.
If your taste buds are craving from something other than the D24, they have a variety of durians to choose from such as D101, musang king, and many more. But keep in mind that durians other than D24 have different prices and are not included in the buffet.
