Singaporeans who are durian lovers are a privileged lot cos this supposedly seasonal fruit can be seen all over Singapore almost whole year round. However, there are 2 factors to enjoy a good durian - good harvest and honest durian sellers. Like most typical Singaporean, I am always scouring for honest durian sellers who can satisfy my insatiable craving for bitter durians.
One day while eating durians with some friends, they commented that a durian stall at Tg Katong is worth the money spent for the top-quality durians. So I followed them to the stall at Tanjong Katong one evening.
On my first bite of that legendary Mao Shan Wang Durian, tears welled up in my eyes and I was lost for words to express my ecstasy. Since then, I always have to fight back my tears everytime I have Maoshanwang.
That place I am talking about:
264 Tanjong Katong Rd
Secret Password to good Durians : "Pauline"
It's true!!
Me and my BFF (Pauline) who introduced me to this little piece on heaven on earth!
I may look like I'm smiling, but at the same time, I'm fighting back my tears, same for the guy behind me.
This picture speaks for itself. =) *wiping away my tears*
Hey I am not supposed to contribute that!!! That was a draft for Cynthia but was posted verbatim and this Blogger even added the first paragraph as mine...@#$%^&*...
ReplyDeleteAnyway just to share a bit more should you be going there. Call Ah Hoe or Leong Tee (they are brothers) at 6346-6683 to check for availabilty. Prices fluctuate but the cheapest was $12 per kg for Maoshanwang. Most importantly, always tell them that you are Pauline's friend to get the best deal. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
so robin, how often do you go there?
