12 boxes for $30.........................don't tell me the Tiongs figured out a way to make fake durian ?

1) Tiongs developed a taste for durian.

2) Tiongs influenced the cultivation of durians in SE Asia, I suspect chemicals or genetic modification involved.

3) Years of bumper harvests, many durians exported to China.

4) Now Tiongs have no money to import durians, the surplus ones come here.

I still remember durians could only be eaten during durian season, around the middle of the year. You literally had to wait a year to be able to eat durians.

The durians in johore and some other parts in kuala kangsar ripen around october if i am not mistaken.
 
Don't buy cheap durians, they taste awful, most of it.....
Durian kampung is best. Bitter and sweet.but taste snd quality are not consistent depends on trees and location and best eaten at tge stall so if no good, can reject.
 
Avoided this fruit not because i dont enjoy its taste ... Its because of how durian was traded
You notice many pop-up durian stalls operated by Ah Beng .... they are not your usual fruit seller
They exploited this trade, work a few months, rip off a lot of money from durian-lovers
They are not to be trusted, sell mediocre quality, bluff you as premium product
 
Try loitering @The durian stalls during closing time, the good MSW ones @$30 per box, u can get it for 3 boxes @$50...Super thick rich bitter sweet creamy pulp, really worth it!
