Even after you whatsapped to reserve, still have to queue up for one hour?

You still have to join the Q ( only one Q for walk-in and reservation ).. just that they already keep your  lu Lian at one corner.

if you don’t mind getting it late, can go after 8.30pm where Q should be shorter by then.

Thanks bro.

Seems like they split the group now.

How to tahan?

Bought these 2 Pahang MSW at Blk 443 Pasir Ris. $15/kg, medium thin husk, jiu ji, super meaty, strong after taste, the yield is easily 40% judging by the pod size vs seed size (for the larger fruit).

Seems all open mouth already. Furthermore, price from a direct seller also not cheap. 

I have been buying in bulk from Pahang. Standard practice to use rubber bands to tie the durians, does not mean tie is open mouth already.

If buy in bulk, that is nothing compare to other worries. You pay less for better quality, but there is no guarantee on quality though most of the time they are good. The plantation owners also not going to replace unless the durians really bad like rotten or got worm, which I finally encountered few days ago. These type they will replace but watery type no luck, which more common near season closing. And Pahang standard for MSW is grade A and B only, difference in size of 1.5kg. From my experience, no point paying more for grade A as taste wise both are the same, only bigger or smaller seeds. And bigger durians got higher chance to be bad while smaller durians generally mostly ok.

I was there this morning...too early I think...at 8am 😅

Did you go there today? I took a second look at the $15 MSW today, not real, thorns are  long and sharp, too close to one another. The $23 black thorns look more genuine.  You can skip their $15 MSW, don't waste time.
