Durian Fests in Penang

Participants at the 2006 AsiaExplorers Durian Feast, the first at Bao Sheng Durian Farm (1 July 2006)

List of Durian Fests I have attended

Call it feast, fest or festival, these are durian-eating banquets for enthusiasts to indulge in various types of durians. My favourite durian fests take place at Bao Sheng Durian Farm, due largely to Mr Chang, who could provide good interpretation of durians in English and other local languages.

Between 2006 and 2009, I organized annual AsiaExplorers Durian Feasts, which attracted participation from durian enthusiasts in Malaysia and Singapore. After 2009, I stopped organizing the feasts to spend more time in building up my then new website, AsiaExplorers, and relinquish the role of organising to others. I am glad to see that the Bao Sheng Durian Farm has grown from strength to strength since then.
