介绍来自槟城爪夷的顶级黑刺榴莲。

The Black Thorn durian that have the Department of Agriculture registration number D200, have won many prizes since 2011. Now, is the world famous champion durian. It is same par with Musang King durian. Both have their own specialty. The first generation of this durian was used the seed from Thailand. Therefore, it has a strong Thailand durian outlook. However, there is no similiar durian in Thailand. Then, this durian has named as ‘Black Thorn’.
‘黑刺’榴莲农业部注册编号D200，在2011年起夺奖无数，目前已是闻名世界的冠军榴莲，与‘猫山王’榴莲齐名，各有千秋。此榴莲第一代是用泰国榴莲种籽种植在威南双溪峇甲的附近，所以其外型还带着浓浓泰国榴莲的样子。但是，泰国是没有这个榴莲，才命名为新品种‘黑刺’。

Mr Leow Cheok Kiang is the person who brought unknown ‘Black Thorn’ to become the famous champion durian. The Black Thorn trees in his orchards are considered third generation. Mr Leow’s orchards are mainly located at Seberangn Perai Selatan and Southern Kedah – Kedah Junjong, Nibong Tebal Relau and Sungai Baong.
廖石乾先生是把这个从前默默无名的‘黑刺’榴莲带红到成为冠军榴莲，他的黑刺榴莲树已经是属于第三代了，他的园都是集中在威南和吉南交接处 – 吉打三巴央、高渊的乐劳和双溪堡。

Many people said Black Thorn is named because it has a “black colour thorn” at the husk bottom. If you are visiting to a durian orchard, take a look that almost every durian has this “black colour thorn”. In fact, it is a dried pistil. Actually, they called the first mother tree as ‘Black Thorn’, not the durian but the tree. After sometimes, it became to call this durian as ‘Black Thorn’ until today. Of course, you cannot find any black colour thorn on this durian.
很多人都说黑刺是壳底带着一根黑刺，如果您去到榴莲园注意看一下，差不多每一种榴莲都是有这根黑刺，这个是干枯的花蕊。其实是他们称呼那棵第一棵母树为黑刺，是树不是榴莲，后来就演变成了今天黑刺榴莲名。当然，您也不可能在其身上找到任何黑色的刺。

It takes more than 100 days from the flowering to fully ripe and drop. Black Thorn outer shape characteristic is round. Every compartment looks like a “pregnant woman” shape. It seen like a pumpkin. The middle of the bottom is concaved. Sometimes, you can see that ‘black thorn’. The stem is about a thumb long. The stem is very easy broken from the fruit because the fruit is too heavy. When you are lifting the Black Thorn durian, please be reminded to hold from the bottom. This is to avoid the stem breaks from the fruit.
黑刺从开花到成熟掉落需一百多天。黑刺的外型特征是浑圆、每个隔间好像大肚婆突出，好像南瓜一样。底部中心凹进，当然有时您会看到所谓的‘黑刺’。枝柄大约一根拇指长度，很容易脱落因为果实太重。所以记得拿黑刺榴莲时，要托住榴莲的下方，以防枝柄脱落。

Black Thorn durian flesh is orange in colour. You can differential the tree age from the colour. The young tree is a light orange to the old tree with dark orange carrying dark colour. The flesh is very thick. When we are tasting, we can have a big bite. Then, our mouth will full of the durian flesh. Or you can bite a small hole on its membrane, then suck the flesh slowly. Both are different kind of the tasting. Black Thorn is sweet coming first before the bitter taste. The bitter taste is a bit slow to pop up. Therefore, do not swallow fast. Otherwise, you will think that Black Thorn is only sweet. Hold and let the taste running on your tongue. The taste is very strong, bitter sweet, carrying some wine taste. The old tree is very sticky. Most people like it. Generally, the seeds are big size.
黑刺的果肉是橙色的，可以从它的颜色分辨树龄，从年轻树的淡橙色到顶级老树的深橙带黑色。它的果肉是非常厚实的，在品尝时，我们可以大口一咬，满口爆浆，或在膜上咬一小口，然后慢慢吸吮，这是两种不同的品尝。黑刺是先甜后苦的，它的苦味比较慢来，所以不要一口吞下去，不然就以为黑刺只是甜而已。把果肉含住，让它的味道在您的舌头上跑。它的味道是非常浓郁的，甜中带苦，带有丝丝酒味，老树是很黏的，非常讨喜。一般上核子都是偏大的。

When we want to buy the Black Thorn, we still have to go back to Jawi, Nibong Tebal to get it. This is because the Black Thorn durians in his orchards are very old tree. If you buy at other places, mostly are light orange young tree. It will not as tasty as the old tree. This is the reason why we have to go to the mother tree area to buy that durian. Generally, the durian trees are the oldest in that area, or the durian trees are older than other places. The old tree durians are the most delicious.
在购买黑刺时，我们还是要回去威南的爪夷买，因为他的园的黑刺很多都是老树了，如果您在其他地方买，很多都浅橙色年轻树，不会好吃的。这是为什么我们一定要去母树的地区买榴莲，一般上那边的榴莲树是最老的，或那个地区的树一般都比别的地方老，老树榴莲才会好吃的。
