Pay day...😁

There are actually 2 stalls at Bedok North Blk 84

Bought the mountain cat king $15 per box from the one near the playground and the rests $10 per box from the one nearer to the FC. 

Buy 2 boxes get 1 free. 

MSW -  some a bit dry, while some buttery 

Red prawn - small size but quite good, not so overwhelmingly sweet

Golden phoenix - not as bitter as I'd like though. 

Overall, not great but not bad either. 

Shall try Jurong West or Geylang East next week...😋

Also bought some at wings...quite nice...the chilli super nice with the lime already mixed in👍

Feasting of the "king" today. Read about Louis Durian at 44 Owen Road so went to pay a visit. Reached there saw long Q to dehusk durian while another Q to select durian. Didn't want to waste time for dehusking so just took my 5 durians and went off. On average about 15 seeds per durian, some small or medium seeds but fleshy. VFM.

@Christan self pick or recommended...?

You can self-pick by pointing to the durian or you can ask them to recommend based on your preference. I told seller preference is for medium dry, not watery type. Satisfied with what they selected as he also mentioned to consume within 2hrs if not the flesh will be wetter.

@mersaylee I saw fm video ( WA ) that some imported durians were deep freezes with chemical during the recent season, hence advised the public not to eat during this period .  . . cant determined the source from, likely up north, spoken in mandarin and dialect.

PM for the video, if keen, can't share here

Outside of the regular season, the rest of the year's durian are usually frozen ma... Otherwise how Emicakes and goodwood park going to keep selling their durian cakes?

Sorry, started eating then only remember to take photo. 

High calorie dinner 🤣

Black pearl .. more bitter than sweet, which is nice. Seed sizes vary.

Not frozen durian meat. It’s deep freeze the whole durian.
