Where to get cheap and good durians?

[Zorloh]

Chong Pang if you enter by Yishun Ave 2 7-eleven thre, can find durian stall at center stalls. $0.50, 5 for $10, $20, $30 also have.

 

 

I bought durians from that Chong Pang store before. If you are not an expert, the trick of buying durian is to wear very qingcai. Best is to wear slippers & singlet. The first time I bought from that ChongPang store, I was rather formal cuz I came from office, that bugger chopped carrot like no tomorrow. A week later, I went back with slippers and worn-off T-shirt, he transformed into a honest durian seller. Anyway, that was my second and last time buying from him. Why? because I found another Durian place ... 4 Seasons Durian which opens 24/7 @ 212 Joo Chiat Place.

 

They even has a website: http://www.fourseasonsdurians.com

 

Although I'm not a big customer (only $20~$30 each time), they never cheat me. The seed is so thin that if you are not careful, you might swollow it If not for cholesterol, I can go there every fortnight.

 

I will only recommend 4SeasonDurian to my friends for Durians.

I'm not sure of EngSeng crabs, but the store that I'm referring is an 'island' shop which is near to a Kopitiam, which is known for its RoastMeat cuz Mediacop chinese food program went there & rated them as 1 of the best.

fingers despite washing with axiom dishwater or lux soap still got durian smell

 

to get rid of the durian smell on your hands, take the empty durian shell and put it under arunning tap. Wash your hands with the water that runs through the shell. I dun believe this works when I was told but try it and you will be amazed!

Confirm more expensive.

 

Wait for another month in April. Confirm prices drop when everyone starts selling.

quite cheap liao lo. sg $10/kg???

[Dwoon]

During the season, the red prawn variety was selling for SGD8/kg at the stall near my place last year.

 

But for D18, D24, it sold for like 3 fruits (rather large) for SGD20. Each fruit maybe about 1.5 to 1.8kg

 

So I don't really consider it cheap for RM10/kg. Like Sgp prices.......
