Although durian has been a mainstay in the lives of most Malaysians for aeons, these days, the king of fruits is well and truly having its moment in the sun, with harvest season often entailing manic crowds and a devotion to eating the fruit that borders on the slavish.
Which is why there is so much anticipation surrounding the second edition of the Bangi Golf Resort Durian Festival & Awards. The festival was launched last year to great acclaim and returns bigger and better this year on 13 and 14 July 2019 with a special new addition: a full-blown durian research centre.
