Here's another song I've created on the durians from Balik Pulau, Penang!
LYRICS
[Verse]
Green spikes rough touch
But the taste
Oh so much
Balik Pulau so nice
[Verse 2]
Open up sweet flesh
Tastebud rush
Purely fresh
The fruit we all desire
[Chorus]
Durian from Balik Pulau
Heaven in my mouth wow
So yum can’t get enough
Sweet and creamy true love
[Verse 3]
Tree to table fun
Golden sun
Tasty run
Durian we will share
[Verse 4]
Friends around we laugh
Take another half
So smooth
Better than a dream
[Chorus]
Durian from Balik Pulau
Heaven in my mouth wow
So yum can’t get enough
Sweet and creamy true love

Soil and Climate: The unique soil composition and cool climate of Balik Pulau, surrounded by granite hills and near the ocean, contribute to the distinct flavor profile of Balik Pulau durians.
Durian Farming Traditions: Durian cultivation in Balik Pulau is a multi-generational practice. Farmers have honed their skills and techniques over time, resulting in high-quality durians.
If you're a durian lover visiting Penang during durian season (typically May to August), Balik Pulau is a must-visit. You can go on durian tours offered by farms or visit orchards to enjoy fresh durians. Some durian farms in Balik Pulau even offer homestay experiences, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the durian experience.
