🌳 Hidden Gem in the Hills: 838 Durian Balik Pulau

We originally headed to Shan Cheng Durian Penang hoping to try their famed Mao Shan Wang and Hei Ci, but unfortunately, they were all sold out. Lucky for us, our Grab driver suggested 838 Durian instead—and what a great detour that turned out to be! Tucked amidst the hills of Balik Pulau and surrounded by actual durian trees, this spot felt like the real deal—a true durian farm experience, far from the usual roadside stalls. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm and accommodating owner who was more than happy to guide us through the available varieties. The durians here were incredibly fresh and flavorful—you could really taste the difference when it comes straight from the tree. The creamy texture and rich aroma of each fruit were just perfection. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the quality we got. If you’re in Penang during durian season and want an authentic experience, 838 Durian is definitely worth the journey. A peaceful, rustic setting, fantastic durians, and genuinely friendly service—what more could a durian lover ask for? #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #penang #penangtrip #durian #durianlover #balikpulau #malaysiandurians #maoshanwang #heici #durianfarmexperience
