Went down to Blk 139 Tampines St 11 earlier to check out durians from Kelvin. 

If you can wait for better quality ones from Pahang Bentong MSWs, good to do so. Likely mid or end June/July harvest. 

Sampled 2 (JB MSWs) under $14/kg section. Their prices range from $10/14/16. 

CMI. Not bitter, durian fragrance and taste very mild. Kelvin says the stocks coming in this month will not be too far from what we sampled. 

Did not buy and did not take photos cos my phone refuse to bother. 😂

When better stocks are here, will share. 

Stay safe all 

Cheers

Wah bro, i went on Wednesday night there aint any durian, went to 824, also bo!!!
 

In the end went to giant hypermart to buy. $22/kg -.-

 bo bian, the craving overwrite my brain….

Didn't want to buy any, but got tempted and got 1 D13 for $5 and 1 MSW at $10/kg today @BP ring road.

The flesh has a blueish tint to it and it is indeed slightly bitter with a whiff of alcohol.

On the other hand, the MSW leans sweet with a tinge of bitterness but it's seeds are somewhat large and ripeness is patchy.

Being disappointed, no photos are taken.

The D13s has stolen my heart as of now.

Those Durian sellers keep saying got bumper crop but I don’t think so. It’s because China demand has dropped a lot so they all push here.

China now has their own MSW from Hainan island.

#1 compare the durian harvest volume of Hainan vs Msia import volume to china

#2 compare the quality and price

#3 China people that buy durian to show off will still prefer original Msia durian.

First round for this season.  2 box for $55.

Black gold.

Buying dinner at amk, next door saw it cannot resist.

[Mkl22]

So far msw so so only probably Johor ones. Need to wait for pahang then will be much better

[Fcw75]

First buy of the season. 6 MSW for $100. Not by weight.

Not too bad, a few got 8 pods but 1 got 4 big pods only.

Pai seh. Didnt really see…. 

[Heartlander]

Due to some weather situation in Pahang, if buy MSW now will have a a low percentage to ganna unripe durians or durians with black patches. So if buy directly from plantation better take note. The $8 must be from JB as wholesale price already about this level or slightly higher, and the durian sellers here not doing charity work haha.
