good durians - a new find




two or three years ago, i had a source of good durians at marsiling. very good xo and d24 durians from a stall near the multi-storey car park opposite the woodlands polyclinic. the owner of the stall was one called richard. when the fruit was in season and he had 'good' durians, he would give me a call. introduced a number of durian lovers to him. in fact, we would order in advance and he would send the fruit to the school. we were willing to pay extra for the premium durians.

all of a sudden the supply was shut off when he disappeared. do not know what has happened to him. the fruit stall is still around and but i have no inkling of his whereabout. with this, getting good durians turned into a game of chance, until recently. somebody did recommend a shop in ghim moh. went there a couple of times to get durians but they were not as good as those sold by richard.

the other day, i was at a friend's place when he offered me some durians. turned out to be quite good. found out that they had bought the durians from a stall at woodgrove. the next day, i dropped in at the stall to buy 3 boxes. measured up to my expectations of good quality durians.

his xo durians are sold by the weight while the other durians are sold by the pieces or at $10 per fruit. smaller durians are priced at $5.
