Lorong Susu, 10450 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

Trends come and go. But what stays the same is that Ah Teik’s street stall will still be here along the tourist street of Jalan Macalister to serve up a good bittersweet durian to give your tastebuds a treat.

Ah Teik durian store is such a mainstay in this area that it’s no exaggeration to say that it has become a cultural symbol of the place.

A wide diverse variety of durians for patrons to select from.

The advantage of retailers is that unlike farms who are pretty much limited to the cultivars they have available in the orchard, retail sellers can bring durians from anywhere in Malaysia and the world over to offer their customers.

It’s best that you already know what durians you are looking for. Then just ask if it’s available at the store. Otherwise, you might spend half a day browsing at durians which you’ve never heard of.
