Durians Season

I think it is the durian season now. Durians can be seen sold at every fruit stall. Even make-shift durian stalls are popping up here and there. Yesterday, Dad brought me and my friend to buy some durians to devour... hehe... actually wanted him to drive me to the Four Seasons Durian Cafe at Joo Chiat Place to buy some durians there. But well... Dad feels that there is no need to travel all the way there. So we went to the neighbourhood to buy instead.

We wanted to try the Mao San Wang, which i believe is currently the best type now, but it's all sold out. So the stall owner recommended Golden Phoenix to us and claimed that it's better than the Mao San Wang (but apparently it's sold out faster than the Golden Phoenix. hmm...). We bought 4 of it. Friend wanted to try the Ang Hie so the stall owner gave us 1 free! Hee... In total, the damage is $36 for 3.6kg of Golden Phoenix! Hope it's not considered expensive... else i would have been conned by that decent-looking stall owner :)

The taste is really not too bad! The Ang Hie is a little sweet but not too overwhelmingly so... and the Golden Phoenix is more on the bitter-sweet side. Oh i prefer more of the bitter one...

But 5 durians is really too much for us to finish... there is still 1 left in my fridge, masking the rest of the food in there with it's pungent smell......
