My favourite of the designer durians is the 101 for it's creamy melty texture.But it's still the small unbranded durians selling at give-away prices like 5 for $10 that I really love. They are less predictable, but what a gem when you chance upon that one that has the perfect balance of bitter-sweet soft creaminess and fragrance.
A big part of enjoying the durian is in the range of taste and texture of the fruit.
Oh ! did n't expect u to like durians! Hmm yumm....too bad spider doesn't like, so i can look for u? :D
ReplyDeletei like those sold in the super markets where they are out of their thorny shells already. heh.
ReplyDeletesuziewong - yup, look for me.
ReplyDeleteedpjunkie - i like those too
You know I was thinking about doing a post about durians just now too! But you've beaten me to it. :)
ReplyDeleteI had the "mao shan wang" again tonight and decided it is actually quite nice, compared to D24 and XO. Will try the 101 the next chance I have.
And yeah, totally agree about the 5 for $10 durians. It's more fun and unexpected that way.
WG- did u go to the Four seasons near ur place?
ReplyDeleteI've been there twice, frigging expensive, but nice! must make a date with all of you to go!
