"oi mai lui lian mou?" asked the durian seller, just as we stepped out of "alex" shop after lunch.
I am an avid durian eater/lover... so sure! why not... and he soon showed us his fruits... we have mo sang, xo, belanda...
blah blah... types of durian... OK lah! still hungry for durian,
even though less then a week ago we had just bought 2 durians to eat...
OMG! i had just bought 5 durians... and it weighed at 11kg! at rm9 per kg... it was going to cost RM99!!! blink... blink... "make it rm100 lah" says the durian seller and, "and i add this 3 not so keng durians"... as i had chosen a mixture of XO and mo sang... hmmm... no lah... too much... "Aya! can lah" ... ok lah.. can... we closed the deal... (the dark side is strong...)
they even had guys to take the durians to my car... wow! good service... they even had great packaging - a nice paper sack... something like the cement kind... tough and had an inner strong lining... + the durians also looked nice...
I WAS CONNED!
Bleh!... WHAT mo sang and XO... most of them were more like "fan seui", the mo sang variant was barely edible... sheesh!CONNED!CONNED!CONNED! even the 3 not so keng durians tasted better... ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! CONNED!
sigh!... a truly sad day...
NEVER EVER BUY FROM THE VAN OUTSIDE ALEX SHOP CLAIMING TO GET THEIR STOCK FROM PAHANG! NEVER!!!!
I will stick to the Old Post Office ... make-shift shop in the car park one... opposite "Deen's" nowadays...
the nice packaging... for durians...
nice looking durians too...
the aftermath...
most of the durian ended up in the tupperware...
where we hope after being chilled it will improve the lackluster taste...

I've given up buying from roadside setups... if you want to, must there and then. On the spot. Then can immediately return/exchange "under quality" fruits.
Better to just buy from supermarket in shrinkwrap form. Little bit more costly (although not as bad as your case) and can see what you're buying before you buy it. Generally, the durians also very decent.
The stall i mentioned, infront of Deen's is decent... "sook ha" since i do buy from them a lot during durian season... and the fruits are top notch... I SHALL STICK TO THEM!
sad... sad... sad...
