Can’t believe that we’re almost 2 months away from 2018.
But here’s one reason for us to countdown to November, hoping that it will come quickly.
Why? Because I want to eat durian. Cheap durian. And we’re talking about not any other durian but Musang King Durian.
Musang King Durian is also known as Mao Shan Wang, which is a term more dear to our hearts.
You know good things don’t come by cheap right? The original price of Mao Shan Wang is RM100 per kg and guess its price after the slash?
HALF PRICE.
That means you get to taste this heavenly fruit at RM50 and there are speculations that it might go even lower.
In case you’re getting paranoid on why the price has drastically dropped… let me teach you some economics.
November, apart from the month that is before my birthday, is also a durian-harvesting season in Pahang.
Thus, there will be a surge in Musang King Durian supply in the market. This in turns reduces the selling price.
Get it?
This also means, we get to eat to our heart’s content!
And if you can’t leave Singapore in November due to attachment issues, – I mean work attachment complications – fret not. I have good news.
A durian farmer in Raub, known as Lee (not my father) said that the Musang King Durian fever is likely to persist until Chinese New Year in 2018!
And since most of our durians here in Singapore come from Malaysia, you can expect the prices to follow suit here.
OMG. Durian steamboat for reunion, anyone?
Okay, but hold up.
If you’re the sort that stands beside the durian stall, looking at your dad doing all the pick-up, smelling and tasting… because you know not a single thing about the durian varieties… you’re not alone.
These are some guidelines on how to identify the fruit you can’t wait to have…because let’s face it: we’ve all kana chopped carrot by durian sellers who gives fancy names to durians and mislead us to think it’s Mao Shan Wang when it’s a Gou Shan Wang.
Color of the husks
It’s blue.
Just kidding. Any sane Singaporean would know a blue durian exists only in Mars.
It’s a dull green, dusty and greyish to be exact. Some have yellow-brownish husks actually.
Spikes
Its spikes are not cluttered together, far from each other in fact. And they are known to be blunt on the tip.
Both Ends
There’s a noticeable gap between the crown and where the spikes begin.
And as for the other side, you will see starfish. Not a real starfish, just the shape of it.
Golden-yellow Flesh
And we live to see this. We travel far to get a taste of this bitter-sweet goodness. Its texture should be custard-like and extremely creamy.
So how? Excited for November?
Well, I’ll see you in November.
