Fake Musang King Durians??
In July 2024 I ordered 2 Blackthorn and 2 Musang King durians for about $750. I received the 2 Blackthorn? durians quite promptly. They were pretty bland and I have no way to know if they were the real thing, since I've never tasted a Blackthorn before, but they weren't any better than frozen durians you get from typical Asian stores. I got no reply from Miami Fruit when I asked them about the origin of the Blackthorns.
Miami Fruit never informed me about the status of the other 2 Musang Kings in my order, until I asked, to which they said it's in the queue. Fair enough. After 2 fruiting season I finally got the Musang Kings, except that they look different. Only one has the prominent *5-pronged* star pattern on the bottom. Miami Fruit claimed that both were Musang Kings, except that one was ''picked young'' from the tree. ??? If you noticed, the one on the right ws the one WITHOUT the star pattern, young?, but has rubber bands stretched to hold the cracked husk. I'm from Malaysia, and I know they NEVER pick unriped fruit from the tree and then sold them as premium. They string nets to catch fallen tree-riped fruits and flash-freeze and then shipped overnight by air. That's is what you'd call premium products. I wonder if they were picked young that they were chemically treated??? That is typical for $20 Monthong durians, most are chemically-treated, that you can easily find in asian markets. Buyers beware. I paid huge premium for premium durians. Got only one premium Musang King with the complex taste that I was willing to pay for. Never again.
