D88

Once, I was strolling along Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and chanced upon this stall tucked away from clear view.  Not knowing what D88 was like, I tried it.  Suddenly, this feels like a "blind date" :p

Visual

Shape looks a bit similar to D24 but the shell's color is slightly yellowish green.  There is this 5 cent coin patch at the bottom, etc.  Quite a few other factors looks D24.  But to a lightly seasoned eye, can tell the difference from D24.

Typically
It weighs maybe 1.5 - 2kg usually.  Too large, it'll disappoint.

Texture, Taste, Aroma (Flesh)

It is beige yellow usually.  Once you sink your teeth into it, you tends to see a shade of orange among the flesh.  That's where it is unique.

It taste rather nice.  Not as top notch as D24, but it is not too far off.  

Texture is soft, but not overly soft.  It doesn't have that very thick and sticky feeling.

Choosing

Don't be mistaken by the color of the shell, being slightly yellowish.  It is not the color of over ripe durian.  Turning the fruit, you may feel a 'turd', but let's not shake the fruit.  Shaking not very glam.

Hint

Mature beige color flesh is nice.  Some orangy shades is good.

Personally

Worth eating.  In my perception.... 7.5/10.
