Durians @ Balestier

Tucked along Balestier Road (between Quality Hotel and a Chinese Temple), this inconspicuous durian stall offers one of the best durian I've tried.


For a start, you can choose your Mao Shan Wang  and inform the boss whether you like it bittersweet or just bitter.

And so bittersweet we chose.


As you can most probably tell from the photo, the flesh is rightly firm and tender with a strong structural taste of bittersweetness. 

Not your watery and/or hald-ripe and/or tasteless nonsense.

But for S$30 a pop (which may explain the 'value-added' service of bottled water and tissue boxes readily available), this is one durian that's meant for the occasional indulgence.
