Singapore Durians

Dont be mistaken by me. as far as i know, Singapore dont grow durians. Singapore import/export durians here. The following illustrate some durian-related incident which happened not too long ago.

"On 21st Apr, a couple with a group of friends decided to have some durian after dinner at geylang and they head straight to the nearest stall.

The husband went off to choose the durians after they found a table. Once he approached this hooligan, he took out his parang to open a durian and ask him to try. He asked him how much was it but he say "never mind just try first". So he commented not bad .... immediately this hooligan picked up 5 durians and put into a basket, weighed it and brought it to their table despite the husband repeated questioning on the price. No replies given.

At the table, he opened up another and asked them to try the durian. So they tried. He asked whether nice. They said yes, not bad and immediately he started opening up another durian and say, "see confirm good one this one"! They asked him about the price then only at this time he told us $20 per kg!!! so they asked him the whole basket how heavy, and guess what??? 10kg, and there were only 5 durians inside! They say they don't want. He say cannot cos durian opened already and he already keyed in the sales and cannot return. Then keep explaining this is really good durian and worth eating while picking up another to open. This time they raised their voice and told him if he don't stop opening, they will leave immediately.

Only then he stopped and say, never mind, he'll return the other 2 unopened one, but the rest of the three durians they have to take....wah piang...and they thought just a while ago he said key in order already cannot returned?

Anyway, they were very angry and everything happened too fast for them to react. They finished up the 3 durians which in the end cost them $140/- , they didn't enjoyed the durians at all."


Disgusting ...
