Anyone knows how to choose durians? I feel kind of lost and at the mercy of the sellers when I'm looking to buy some to eat and I don't want to buy those that are opened as far as I can.

You can ask them to open on the spot and pack them in styrofoam box. This way they will not have the chance to sell you 生番薯 or rotten one. Try not to get those that are already in the foam box.

猫山王 (Kunyit) is now around RM20/kg. Went to Gan's plantation at Segamat yesterday.

 

After 'briefing' by the owner, now know how to identify authentic Kunyit. Damn, should have known few years earlier.

 

Many sellers here sell fake Kunyit. Today went to few sellers at Geylang and JW... not selling true Kunyit, cannot even explain to me how to identify even the appearance of Kunyit.

 

If you go to durian farm, the 猫山王 is about RM15~16/Kg (price as of last week). Tomorrow I will be going in JB to my reliable stall to checkout and update the price.

There is a discussion in MSM forum about durian makan @ Segamat http://www.malsingmaps.com/forums/viewtopi...51&start=61

You can find out how to get there from the thread. I will be bringing a group of friends to the plantation this weekend. Meanwhile I will checkout the latest pricing of the varieties of durian.
