Raub Durian Orchard claims to serve the best durians in Pahang. I dare not confirm the statement as I haven’t tried their durians for myself but it seems to be consistent with the positive reviews from their customers. Quality durians aside, Raub Durian Orchard is probably the only durian orchard in the country that is equipped with a fishing pond, a bee farm, as well as a bird’s nest farm. I can already imagine a fun-filled and tummy-satisfying day trip to Raub Durian Orchard!

Have you heard? Organic durians are all the rage these days, offering a healthier and, some say, more delicious alternative. This farm, run by agriculture expert Mr. Ng Swee Pen, is a pioneer in producing certified organic durians. This “certified” status is a big deal in Malaysia, as it means they’ve met the strict standards of the Skim Organik Malaysia (SOM). Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m suddenly desperate for their durian ice kacang — it’s seriously loaded with durian!
