Grilling a 11 kg 'pig' durian, the young man was surprised by the flavor

The clip of a young man buying an 11 kg "pig" durian, grilling it, then trying it and being surprised by the flavor is receiving nearly 6 million views on social media.

Accordingly, the clip of Mr. Doan Tan Phuoc (28 years old), from Dong Nai (formerly Binh Phuoc ), roasting and trying a "pig" durian weighing 11 kg was shared by netizens, attracting many comments.

What is "pig" durian?

The young man said his family rented out their warehouse to durian traders. He told the traders to save one for him whenever they had a big durian, a "monster" size. Not long after, he received a fruit weighing over 11 kg.

According to him, "pig" durian or "pig" durian is a popular term to refer to fruits that are oversized compared to normal criteria, usually fruits weighing more than 5 kg (or 7 kg depending on the region).

For him, fruits of such large size are not liked by many people and the taste of large durian segments is not highly appreciated. In addition to eating ripe durian directly as usual, Mr. Phuoc also used to cook raw durian soup, fried it, but he has not tried grilled ripe durian so he is curious about the taste.

That’s why he decided to get firewood to roast this durian. Instead of opening it to roast each segment, he roasted the whole fruit. Because of the thick skin, he roasted it for more than an hour but still saw no difference other than the burnt skin.

"After nearly 2 hours of grilling, the durian shell began to crack, revealing the yellow flesh inside. I intentionally charred part of the durian to create a fragrant smell. After grilling, the durian shriveled and became smaller than its original size," Phuoc described.

What does grilled durian taste like?

The young man described the smell of the ripe durian after being grilled as "extremely fragrant". He tasted each segment of durian and said the taste was quite delicious, not as sweet as eating ripe durian directly.

"Maybe I'm bored of eating durian the normal way, so when I grilled it, it tasted better. I also ate it with condensed milk, the taste was normal, not too special, but those with a sweet tooth would like it more. I also tried it with salt and chili but the taste was a bit strange, this combination was not suitable," he commented.

Grilled durian is said to be less sweet than the usual ripe durian.

Netizens were curious about the taste of grilled durian after watching the clip. Some people also shared their experiences of preparing durian in different ways besides the usual way of eating it.

"I've eaten grilled durian before, it tastes like potatoes and has a milky fatty taste," said Ho Lanh. "This durian is made from pigs. Traders usually buy it for 2 for 1, meaning 2 kg for only 1 kg. Pig durian is not as delicious as normal sized durian," shared Za Hung.

Mr. Thien Trieu (26 years old), a durian farmer in Dak Lak, said that in addition to the usual way of eating durian, farmers also take advantage of many different ways of processing it. With fruits that fall early when not ripe due to natural disasters, they can be cooked in soup or fried. Grilled durian is also an interesting culinary experience.
