If there’s one thing Malaysia does well, it’s snacks. And if there’s one place that takes things to a whole new level of weird and wonderful, it’s Edibee in Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown.
This unassuming little shop is a temple of sugary delights, a shrine to all things durian, and a battleground where every bizarre fruit imaginable fights for supremacy.

The History of Edibee
Edibee isn’t some fly-by-night candy operation; it’s been around for years, curating the best (and weirdest) sweet treats that Malaysia has to offer. Originally catering to the local love of durian and tropical fruit flavors, it has since expanded into a haven for anyone looking to sample Malaysia’s obsession with bold, sometimes divisive, flavors.
Whether you love durian or loathe it, Edibee forces you to confront the king of fruits in ways you never imagined.
Durian Everything
If you think durian is just for fresh fruit stalls and late-night dares, think again. Edibee has taken the infamous fruit and turned it into just about every candy you can imagine. There’s white chocolate durian, classic milk chocolate durian, and even dark chocolate durian for those who like their stinky fruit with a side of sophistication. Truffles? Yep. Durian-flavored popcorn? Absolutely.
For the brave, there are freeze-dried durian pieces that preserve every bit of the fruit’s potent aroma, packed into bite-sized bombs of flavor. Want a milder introduction? Try durian honey candy—sweet, floral, and just pungent enough to remind you what you’re eating. This place isn’t just selling durian; it’s celebrating it in all its controversial glory.
Beyond Durian: The Candy Battlefield of Malaysia
But Edibee doesn’t stop at durian. Oh no, this is a place where Malaysia’s most eccentric flavors come to wage war on your taste buds. Jackfruit candies, tamarind sweets, and even mangosteen chews add to the mix, ensuring that every mouthful is a new adventure. The local love of herbal and medicinal flavors also sneaks its way in, with honey ginger drops and herbal lozenges offering a spicy, throat-tingling counterpoint to the sugar rush.
And let’s not forget Malaysia’s obsession with pandan, which finds its way into cookies, sweets, and even chocolate bars. If you’ve never tried pandan-flavored chocolate, Edibee is the place to do it. Spoiler alert: it’s weirdly delicious.
A Must-Visit in Chinatown
While many travelers hit up Chinatown for street food and knockoff goods, Edibee is the perfect stop for something different—whether you’re after souvenirs, personal indulgence, or a gift for that friend who thinks they’ve tried everything. Trust me, they haven’t tried durian truffles.
So, if you find yourself wandering through Chinatown, don’t just grab the usual souvenir keychains and counterfeit sneakers. Step into Edibee and let your sweet tooth go on an adventure. Just be warned: once you open that bag of durian popcorn, there’s no hiding what you’ve been up to. And then there is Edibee song saying “Everybody likes to eat” – I mean what is not to like about that (unless you work there).
