5 Best Durian Stalls in Penang
We tend to be a little (very) snobby when it’s concerning anything we take pride in. DUH. One is everything and the second in this case would be the quality of the durians in Penang aka. Top Notch.

2. Ah Telk’s Durian Stall @ Lorong Susu
We’ve heard of cat fights but not durian-fights. Well you might need to get into one to get the best ones in stock or simply avoid the drama and crowd by getting there earlier.Known for their Milk Durian, these fellas are worth the time and effort. Wrinkly,yellowy and oh so creamy in the mouth ,we thank the universe there’s a season for this and not available all year around or we’d be in a durian-coma. Though the price here is a bit steep compared to other places, its a worth the try at least till you find your favorite stall.

3. Musang King @ Opposite Ah Teik Stall
Inheriting the essence of sweetness and creaminess with a hint of bitterness to it, Musang king is treasured for its balanced combo to many durian-philes out there. 30 feet from Ah Teik stalls, the name of this stall is an optimum effort at attracting the choosy customers. They’re certainly going to be receiving attention from us for the buttery beauty they’re offering.
Location: Corner of Jalan Kek Chuan and Jalan Macalister, about 30 feet from Ah Teik’s stall
4. Leng Durian @ Anson Road
The next best durian spot in Penang is Leng Durian. Started out small and eventually gaining popularity due to their location and quality of the food without exploiting the price, Ah Leng durian is one of the durian stalls along the Anson road that is worth checking out. Can we just all take a moment and witness the joy on this picture! If this is not ‘The’ durians in Penang then which is?
Ranging from rm18 to rm25 for a red prawn per kilo, customers usually weigh in their cravings more than the money they’ll spent since its not everyday you get to enjoy a good durian in a blissful surrounding with your family and friends.

Albeit the distance, we were really keen on the traditional way of consuming durians and owning more than 20 species of Durian, the Lim brothers welcome thousands of eager local and outsiders to immerse in the beauty of mother nature while indulging in a sinful variety of luscious durians in Penang. Ranging from Hor Lor, D14 to Kun Poh, the farm is abundant with the goodness of not just durians but also farming various species of rambutan and langsat.
