Durian Sellers - recommendations and to avoid

[Ender]

Just had Dong Lai.   First time.  Enjoyed it for it's unique flavor that is different from the usual MSW, JF, D24. It is sweet though, no hint of bitter.

It's BG in 2nd pix and it's 90 for 5 and 120 for old tree.

Colour is one thing while taste is still without the wow factor.

Was at Bangkit market over the weekend, at least 5 durian sellers in the vicinity, price as low as $12/kg for Pahang B grade MSW (more than 1.4kg each but odd shape with low yield) but taste is reasonably intense and niam niam without being watery.  

Tried the first stall right next to coffee shop. Anyone has good recommendations for the others?  My son's camp is nearby, so might stop by regularly.

saw the comments here that this week durian is generally good, so went ahead to order from my usual online store. Same as the other bro mentioned, the pahang old tree is creamy, slight bitter and gassy taste. I decided not to go for black gold as wife complained the BG last few rounds not as good as old tree.

Never tried any but bukit batok east not that far from bangkit. Can try the durian tree there.

btw, looted some small msw last week from ah dong JB. Rm28 per kg, very good in taste and price. 😄

Bought 11+kg @$18/kg Pahang Bentong Black Gold MSW Durians from Blk 139 Tampines St 11 earlier (2pm+)

Last night went, they were sold out as now they only have 1 scheduled delivery these days. 

One more fruit not in picture, too shy. No lah, no space so actual total is 8 fruits. 

After dehusked 

They now come in Styrofoam boxes packed with ice to maintain the freshness of durians to beat the warm weather and journey. 

Going to keep in the fridge to enjoy slowly over the weekend. 😍

Flesh gao gao, taste creamy and very bitter. Much much better harvest than those a few weeks ago. 😋😋😋😋😋👍👍👍

Not related to the business or anything here or there. Fresh stocks of Red Prawn cultivar arriving later this afternoon, in case some bros prefer them. 

Season likely to last till end October after a 2 weeks break in September, told to me. 

Eat eat eat. Remember to balance the heatiness ya. 

Stay safe 

Cheers

Stay safe all
