Along with the unique hourglass shape of its shell, the Hulu (aka Hor Lor) durian is much different than other durian varieties I've tried.
I love Hulu durian, particularly because you can let it thaw completely, and it doesn't get watery like most varieties.
It is because the water content in this fruit is so low. Yes, that does make it not the creamiest fruit ever, but don't let that stop you from trying it because it is by no means crunchy.
Some people compare it to the texture of peanut butter but not as sticky. I think it's similar to the consistency of Magaña mamey sapote- but with a delicious durian flavor.
Speaking of the flavor, it's sweet and slightly bitter, with occasional hints of berries and chocolate.
I would recommend this variety to both durian newbies and veterans because I think there is something extraordinary about this variety. Everyone should experience it at least once.
