Durian Tales

All durian lovers go through baptism of fire. Conned by Ali Baba style durian stalls especially the red light district of Geylang, complains come fast and furious in internet forums.


"was shocked to pay S$130 for 2 D24 durians along Geylang"
"we finished up the 3 durians which in the end cost us $140"
"4 durians he had put into our basket $240+ - $60 for one durian"
"he open two durians and key in the cash register, $75 !"



Smarter wheels endowed durian gourmets travel to Malaysia particularly Segamat where the real things are. For the same money that they got Madoffed in Geylang, the small Malaysian town will give you a feast one will never forget.

Sultan Durian or the D24 used to be very expensive that only the Malay sultans get to eat them. Those sold to you at $10 for 3 boxes are not the real thing.
