PETALING JAYA, Aug 2 — Durian, the King of Fruits,  has become a fixture within Malaysian cuisine, earning its place alongside other local culinary staples such as nasi lemak and teh tarik.

Foodies have been stretching the potential of durian by combining the creamy flesh of the fruit with other ingredients, resulting in some pretty questionable concoctions (fancy a mug of Milo topped with cheese and durian or a pint of durian beer?).

Inspired by our love for the thorny fruit, we’ve sniffed out 10 places to get your durian fix in the Klang Valley.
