Personal Comment for D139 Senggarang 4
Inspect the Durian and Confirm Prices
Always begin by examining the displayed durians. If many appear subpar, be more caution and it's wise to look elsewhere.
Durian prices are highly variable, much like currency exchange rates. What you paid previously, even recently, might not apply today or tomorrow. Therefore, always confirm the price, even if a tag is visible, to avoid surprises after packing (e.g., being told the displayed price was for a different durian).
And given the highly personal nature of taste – everyone experiences flavors like sweetness and bitterness uniquely – it's best to trust your own palate by requesting a tasting from the seller.

D139 Senggarang 4 — the quiet but classy cousin at the durian family reunion.
You won’t see it flexing on Instagram or showing up in luxury mooncakes, but what it lacks in hype, it makes up for in flavor. Think of it as the quiet achiever of durians. The one that doesn’t scream for attention but leaves you thinking, “Hmm… actually really good.”
A Little Backstory (Because Every Durian Has One)
This guy hails from Senggarang, a small town in Johor, Malaysia — which, by the way, is basically durian central in the southern part of the country.
It’s officially registered — hence the fancy name D139 — and is part of a whole squad of Senggarang clones like D136, D137, and D138. It’s like they’re the Jackson 5 of durians, but instead of singing, they're all just really good at being creamy.
Looks: Not Flashy, But Solid

Taste: Balanced Like a Tightrope Walker

When Can You Find It?
Durian season in Penang (and Johor) usually runs from June to August, so if you're durian hunting during those months, keep an eye out for D139. It might not be the first name on everyone’s lips, but once you try it, you’ll remember it.
Final Thoughts

But what it does have is charm, balance, and a creamy richness that makes it super satisfying — especially if you're looking for something a little more mature and well-rounded than your average sweet bomb.
So next time you're in a good durian stall, give D139 a shot. You might just find yourself coming back for seconds — quietly, like a true connoisseur.

D139 Senggarang 4 = Creamy, balanced, slightly bitter, totally underrated. The kind of durian that doesn’t need hype — just a good palate.
