Top 5 Durian Spots For The Best Durians In Penang
1. Shan Cheng Durian Penang
Top of the list goes to: Shan Cheng Durian Penang! This durian spot is where you can taste fresh and creamy durians that are harvested daily from the owner’s high hill durian orchard. Enjoy more than 20 types of addictively delicious durians, including the famous Musang King, Red Prawn, Black Thorn, Ganjaa, HorLor and more. Trust us when we say that the durians here are smooth, creamy and durian-licious, yummm!
Fresh durians are carefully picked from the durian trees that age up to a hundred years old in their orchard located uphill before transporting to their store nearby for customers to enjoy a hassle-free durian experience!
Shan Cheng Durian Penang implements a unique farm management method that incorporates IoT (Internet of things), in order to help with customising nutrients and water for each durian tree. The orchard is MyGap (Malaysia Good Agricultural Practice) certified by the Department of Agriculture, so you can be rest assured that these delicious durians are safe and healthy for consumption!
