I’m not convinced there’s any better sweet dessert in the world than Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน). Well, of course, that is if you like durian – which I happen to absolutely adore! If you don’t like durian, you should still try this restaurant out because they also have vanilla ice cream that’s wonderful too.

It all goes down at Bangkok’s Ice Cream Sriyan (ไอศกรีมศรีย่าน), a little ice cream shop near the Sriyan Market in Bangkok’s Dusit area of town. The Thai Chinese owner has been elevated to legendary status throughout Thailand for one thing – his famous Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน) – and that’s exactly why I had to have a taste. So after finishing a delightful meal over at the Jungle curry restaurant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=206fyrVr6HY just down the street, I was hungry for some ice cream. It was just a 5 minute walk and I was excited when I first arrived. My girlfriend had heard that all Thai locals could simply not resist ordering a second bowl after cleaning their first clean.

Ice Cream Sriyan (ไอศกรีมศรีย่าน) is a small family run Bangkok ice cream shop. I of course didn’t need to think twice before getting the Durian Ice Cream (ไอศกรีมทุเรียน) which came with sweet durian flavored sticky rice on top. My first bite was simply outstanding, by far the best durian ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. The flavor was strong but not overly so – I could just sense that he had used the finest and most pungent fruit available in the creation of the homemade ice cream. The durian flavor almost went up my nose a little, similar to a wasabi effect. It was incredible! The sticky rice on top of my bowl was another lovely touch. It wasn’t too sweet, but just perfect to switch of the creamy texture of the ice cream. One thing I also liked was that the ice cream wasn’t too rich, it was bursting with flavor, but it didn’t leave you feeling heavy or sweetened out. This really is the perfect Bangkok durian ice cream!

Like I briefly mentioned above, they also have extremely good homemade vanilla ice cream too, which you can order with the same sweet sticky rice on top, if you’re not into durian.

  1. I tried Durian Ice cream for the first time today – It was stupendous! I can not believe I have lived for 20 years in Thailand and never tried this before.

  2. Durian Ice Cream a vanishing treat in Thailand, we use to find it everywhere. The other vanishing ice cream is the coconut ice cream made without dairy.

  3. That looks so goooood. I've never had that. So glad I've found your videos, been watching since yesterday. Nothing like waking up Saturday morning a craving all the food you eat!!!

  4. you can try these combos: eating durian ice cream with durian popcorns as toppings, or eating durian crepe with durian ice cream on top. I especially love durian popcorns, durian crepe not so much but still delicious.

  5. Damn I got so totally ripped off last night in Ao Nang, Krabi. Bought a Durian fruit for 200 bath. And after I came back to the hotel they told me that it wasn't even Durian-season, so it tasted crap. Haha! They said it should have been worth like 25 bath. Good deal for me, thumbs up!

  6. No relation to lychee at all. The first thing that comes to mind is that if you thought lychees were disgusting, durian might be more than you can handle. But then who knows really? Maybe it will be that magic flavor! It's creamy and rich, almost like some sort of rich egg custard, with overtones of rotten onion. But really good rotten onion, or rather just one part of rotten onion minus the really rotten aspects. I don't know if this will encourage you. Just try it, and then try it again.

  7. What do durians taste like? I've had leechees before and they were discusting. Durians kind of look like them because of the spiky skin so I was just wondering if they were related flavor wise

  8. I'm surprised that you seem to love durian seriously!! .. and like some others, I love your face expression of how you're delighted with your dished. It's so emotional and adorable. Well, I'll go and find this durian ice-cream sometimes 😀
