All these are predominantly bitter, with little tinge of sweet in it. But it is not uncommon to get some D13, Ang Hei, MSW to be just as bitter, but these are not know for their bitterness.<br /><br />There is also Ubin Durian which is bitter, small seed and creamy called Milk King too.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Tawa has just ended abruptly. You may want to try other durian in the next season, which will be the main season, more varieties might be more readily available. Now is really at the tail end of this season.
