Durians - king of fruits 万果之王 - 榴梿

It is durian season again. Apparently because of bumper crop this year, the cost of "good class" durians is expected to be low in coming months.

Went for early dinner in a hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio just now, and chanced upon a durian stall offering "discounted" price for the new crops of durians.

Durians are lauded as the King of all Fruits. The texture and smell evoke two extreme opposite emotions - you either crave it or hate it!

In Chinese culture, it is labelled as being "heaty" - apparently not good for people with hypertension, and can tip a person who is of "low immunity" to fall sick easily...

又是榴梿飘香的季节。开始有水果摊卸货拍卖榴梿了。

据说这次的榴梿产量过多,价格会很实蕙。

今天傍晚,不期而遇的碰到小贩中心附近的水果摊位在摆卖榴梿。标价确实比往常便宜一些。我老婆在不同的两个摊位,分别买了两盒猫山榴梿(新币50)及一粒猫山榴梿(新币12);品尝后觉得比较贵的口感好些。
