HendryTan Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Durian season is here. Newspaper report that Malaysia is expecting a good harvest, so expect hopefully cheaper and better quality fruits this year. I wonder whether new generation guys still like Durians. For me I like HongXia (Red Prawn) variety. I find it creamier and sweeter. Quote

vaio Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I love durians! Already planning a durian feast with my friends. Haha! I do like another type named "Wu Lou" (Calabash - sorry, idk its scientific name). Thanks for the tips above! Quote
IkuTube Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Just had D101 yesterday night. Just as vaio, a group of friends is already planning a durian feast and hopefully, the harvest is still aplenty mid July. Am told now that our S$ is stronger against MYR, durians from Malaysia are now cheaper here?

Coolbriz Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Chinatown got a small stall, nr CK department store. Also a durian lover.. Unfortunately not so easy to Dabao back -.-" Quote Be cool, like a breeze...
fortysumthing Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 feeling the crave already ... ... durian, durian, durian !!! Quote
thorzguy Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Chinatown got a small stall, nr CK department store.Also a durian lover.. Unfortunately not so easy to Dabao back -.-"Totally agree on the dabao portion. No matter how well, number of layers the seller seal/wrap for you, there still bound to have some smell. The smell may appear nice while consuming; but not the lingering part in the vehicle... Can try Geylang as well. Think is between Lor 25 and 27, facing Sims Ave, opposite the He Ji Coffeeshop. Prices quite competitive too. Quote
puppyfart Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Along balestier road, near quality hotel. D13 only $5, Mao Shan Wang at $10/$12 If someone can volunteer as tribute, I will lick XO off his entire body... Quote
IkuTube Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Haha .. Durian is naturally rich in potassium, dietary fibre, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin B complex. The king of fruits is thus excellent for improving muscle strength and blood pressure, bowel movements and skin health. It also supports the nervous and immune systems, and enhances red blood cell formation.Myths and Facts About The King Of Fruits Quote *Let me live my life to be an instrument of 'Love', in how I speak and in how I see others* - May there be Love and Peace beyond all understanding -

lego Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Potong Pasir market. A makeshift stall but doing brisk business.D13 is pretty delicious already just to satisfy your craving, if u don't wanna splurge more. Quote
Guest Guest Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 At Bugis opposite the hawker centre, one box of Mao Shang Wang paid $17. Quote
yuukito Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I love durian ! but i never had chance to eat it . Quote
fab Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I m not a regular durian eater. Does the price really dictate the taste? Is the $3 per box inedible?

Coolbriz Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I m not a regular durian eater. Does the price really dictate the taste? Is the $3 per box inedible?Not really. Price can range a bit depending on where u get them. From what I understand, neighborhood ones are cheaper than those in Geylang. The rest is like jackpot. I have tried very tasteful ones from $10 for 3 boxes Quote Be cool, like a breeze...
Dracula Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 On 31/7/2015 at 6:30 PM, yuukito said: I love durian ! but i never had chance to eat it . Ee.. then how do you know you love durians? There are 2 categories of people, either they like durians or they can't stand durians. But if you like the smell, then most likely you like durians. As for me, I really like durians. Quote

puppyfart Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Have been getting my durian fix from here. Avoid weekends, if you can, as it's really crowded and you get less attention. https://www.instagram.com/ministry_of_durian/ Coolbriz and yogateacher 2 Quote
anxiousfriedtofu Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Anyone ever stumble across durian Tembaga in SG? How's the pricing? Variety (cultivar) code in Malaysia D118. Its like a more discreet version of Mao Shan Wang. Fruits are more pointy and much larger. The flesh more pale, but aroma is as potent. Pleasantly sweet with almost unnoticeable hint of bitterness. Flesh:seed ratio is good. Best of all, very affordable for the experience obtained. Here in Sabah can get for one-third the price of MSW. Quote
egal Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 discreet durian. interesting, lol anxiousfriedtofu 1 Quote
