Hi,

 

Has anyone been to the Durian Feast in Johor Bahru (at S'Mart Pandan) along Tebrau Highway? Saw its big big ads last Sat. It says "The Most Popular Durian Fair in Johor Bahru". Wondering is it true or not <_<

 

Would like to know the variety of durians and the average cost/kg ?

 

Very much appreciated... [:)]

 

Regards..

Sure, why not? Where do you think all our durians come from - they're brought in on trucks.

 

Anyway, I brought in a big paper sack of cat mountain king durians in my boot on my recent trip to Desaru. The customs inspector looked inside the boot. He never asked, and I never volunteered, but I think the look and aroma were unmistakable. No issues.

you were lucky then. but you should not tell the bros no issue. Just yesterday afternoon, when I was coming back from JB, I saw the car infront of me, a custom officer pulled 1 durian out from the brown paper sack in the boot. Later another officer came and helped took away the sack. From the boot, the brown paper sack probably contains around 5 durians.

If not wrong, some plants inclusive of vege are not allowed into SG. But I am not sure how strict the custom is enforcing this.

 

Are we allow to bring durian into Singa pore...

What possible twisted logic can the customs have for seizing durians?! It's not the MRT. [rolleyes]

Since u know the price of mao shan already, u still ask worth it or not? U sounds like u dont even know the market price in sg.. tbe moreu should not go there and let them chop ur head... my advice still the same, jb is not the place for cheap and good durian.. period.

strange? Last year, I had 7-10 durian in my boot. And they are not in a bag, but lying exposed in a rectangle basket. The officer open my boot, saw a whole pile of durians and wave me off.
