Musang King is a Malaysian cultivar (cultivated variety) of durian (Durio zibethinus). Prized for its unusual combination of bitter and sweet flavours,[1] Musang King is the most popular variety of durian in both Malaysia[2] and Singapore,[1] where it is known as Mao Shan Wang (Chinese: 猫山王; pinyin: Māo Shān Wáng) and commands a price premium over other varieties.[3] It is also increasingly popular in China, where it has been dubbed the "Hermes of durian".[4]
