GOLDEN PHOENIX Durian

aka Jin Feng

The Golden Phoenix is a durian that is native to the Malaysian states of Pahang and Johor. It is a small fruit, and unlike some other types of durian, it does not have a particularly distinctive shape. In fact, it can sometimes be mistaken for a regular mango due to its small size.

- The flesh of the Golden Phoenix is pale yellow-white in color and can look like it’s rotten, but the strong and distinctive smell of the fruit is a giveaway that it is not spoiled.
- The flavor of the Golden Phoenix is known for being bitter, although it can occasionally have sweet notes as well. This sets it apart from other types of durian, which are usually known for their sweetness.
- The texture of the flesh is less creamy than some other types of durian, and it can be described as having a watery texture.
- Despite its small size, the Golden Phoenix offers a substantial amount of flesh, making it a good value-for-money choice.
- The small size of the Golden Phoenix also makes it easier to transport and store, making it a popular choice for those who want to enjoy durian without dealing with large, unwieldy fruit.

Overall, the Golden Phoenix is a unique and interesting type of durian that is worth trying for anyone who enjoys bitter flavors. While it may not be as well-known as some other types of durian, it has a loyal following of fans who appreciate its distinctive taste and texture.
