I bought 3 for $10 durians and took it onto the bus...here is what happened
#1

After I bought the durians at Sheng Siong, I told the staff I want it in Styrofoam box. He refused so I ended up with whole durian. I realise it was too far to walk home with 3 durians.

I asked him for paper to wrap the durian ..he reluctantly obliged. Wrap in a few layers.

Took it up the bus....Guess no problem as everyone wearing mask can only smell their own (bad) breath.

Made it home.

Will enjoy the durians later....

Yr durian cheap type poor cultivar type so taste not strong and thats why the smell is pale. After taste eating such not so satisfying.

Most stalls dont pack for you those cheap durians.

Fun to open your own … Unless no muscles to do it and cry at every prick you received.

What’s wrong with CS nowadays, really KNS.

Always buy by number and not by weight.

Here are the durians.
Cheap durians are like cheap stocks. It's harder to pick the good ones.

But I will show my hit rate once I start opening.

Looks fine. All look good. The left one is a bit spoilt. The number of seeds is few.

You buy branded, top quality ones, most of the time, by weight. Only lousier ones by whole fruit.

Ate Black Gold aka pahang mao san wang last week.... superb

Taste more or less the same. It is the size of the durian and the seed.
