Red Prawn
A tier
Red Prawn (Ang Heo / Hong Xia) is a Malaysian-Singaporean favourite with smallish fruit, bright yellow to orange-tinged arils, and a sweet, slightly watery-creamy texture that many find less bitter than Musang King. The name nods to a reddish husk tint. It is popular for those who want premium durian without extreme bitterness. Great for sharing platters and newcomers stepping up from Monthong. Flesh can be wetter than dry-sticky kings—eat promptly at peak. Availability is seasonal and regional.
