Day +1188 : Durian season again!

I am fine today.

There is a durian stall set up on the side of the link road between Tempua and Wawasa, Puchong. It is next to Puchong Jaya Food Court to be exact.

We stopped by the stall and have some nice D24 after church service yesterday. We were very satisfied with the quality of the durian at this stall. The meat was yellowish, dry and creamy (黄肉干包) :-)

The stall was selling D24 at RM6 per kg which is quite reasonable. We finished two pieces carrying a total weight of 2.5kg (RM15) on the spot :-)

While we were enjoying the durian there, an auntie told us D24 is “second class durian” to her. The best one is Cat Mountain King (猫山王) which carries a price tag of RM15 per kg. She said after having this type of King Durian, one would not like to eat any other breed of durian.

She tried to convince me to switch over to this King Durian, but I declined. The reason is simple; I am now very satisfied with D24, why should I looking for trouble of getting involved in a type of durian which cost 2.5 times more?

I would like to recommend this stall to you if you are staying nearby, but beware of Cat Moutain King, unless you have plenty of money to spend :-)

Are these local durians or imported Thai durians ?

Local Durian from Pahang only, surely better than the Thai one :-)

raja musang is indeed very good....
believe me, d24 is nothing compared to it... it's taste & texture is uniquely supreme...

you should at least try the majerin strain.... you might avoid d24 away for good.... bittersweet in taste...

D98 is nice for childrens - sweet & creamy...

Pure Faith said...

local durians are much stronger in taste to thai durians...

David said...

How much raja musing cost, and where I can find it? Being a ignorant durian eater, never heard of raja musing.

And what about D98?

Yes, local durians are strong in taste. I don't bother to try Thais durians.

Raja Musang is mau sun wong, the same one which the auntie recommend lah.... expensive but really worth it if you can get the real ones...

David said...

I am now tempted to try :-)

i think durian taste is very subjective to individuals. i didnt like the raja musang 猫山王。instead i like the bitter ones...like trakka 竹脚.

David said...

Yes, it is a blessing to have taste buds that prefer trakka more than raja musang; else it will burn your pocket deeper.
