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