Durian - The King of Fruits, The TOP, Komtar

Durian - The King of Fruits, The TOP, Komtar, Penang (6 November 2017)


Durian - The King of Fruits is a specialty museum celebrating the durian. It is located at Level 3 of The TOP at Komtar, Penang. The museum includes a walk-in gift shop where visitors can purchase various tourist items such as souvenirs and chocolates, as well as durian products.

The museum proper of Durian - The King of Fruits showcases everything you might want to know about durians, locally as well as on the national and international levels. We get to learn about durian cultivation, propagation, flowering, tastes, appearance of flesh, fruit and thorns, and durian producing nations.

The durians at Durian - The King of Fruits museum are so lifelike, I couldn't tell if they are actual durians. I have to say, the durian in its flesh form look less real, but those in fruit form, and those hanging from the trees are absolutely lifelike.

Durians in the tree. The tree might not look so real but the fruits, in my opinion, certainly do. (6 November 2017)


Makes me wonder if these are actual durians. (6 November 2017)

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
