If the durian hits the ground hard when it falls, the flesh tends to be bitter thereafter. # U; |7 J6 T5 w! r# jTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。3 \+ X8 Q0 p! n0 K5 W0 B* f1 _; s

Yah Kang is one of my favourite durians. Although its flesh is whitish, the taste is superb, milky, like very sweet, melting chocolate. The name 'yah kang' means centipede, and accounts for the number of centipedes found at the foot of the tree, hence giving it the rather unusual name. 公仔箱論壇% r& @) f6 Z1 j: ?+ r

This durian is gets its unusual name because it looks like two durians joined together, one big and one small. When split open, you almost thought the two halves belong to two different durians. Coupling has whitish flesh which is slightly dry but tastes good* O1 a7 I" P0 G4 u
