Durian Season!

*Photo added!*

Believe it or not, after that very full meal of fish steamboat, we headed down to Geylang for durians :)

Geylang always scares me. No, not the disgustingly sleazy hotels and prostitutes plying their trade... but the horrible traffic and parking situation there. Somehow... really, don't ask me how, I managed to find a place to park. And after walking past 5 or 6 stalls, we finally decide on one. We had 3 durians for $10 - after a full meal, we knew we couldn't eat too much :)

The durians were decent - you can't really expect much for that price. I was just happy to satisfy my durian craving :P And there's just something about sitting on wobbly stools and tables by the road side that just adds to the taste of the durian...

And oh course we had to have mangosteens after that... Erm, I finally learned how to open mangosteens for myself *embarrassed* :)


Note : See previous note. Photos akan datang!

If you want to splurge on REALLY GOOD durian, must try the stalls at Balestier near the Chinese temple. Yummy rich durians with tiny seeds...heaven...When they start selling, you know that durian season is really here - unlike Geylang where they sell durians all year round...

You brought me there before, remember? :)

We drove past there on the way to Geylang but there weren't any stalls set up. Hmm, maybe its not durian season yet?...

But I just bought durians there last week...3 yummy ones plus 2kg of mangosteen for $50!

Eh, who's your foodie kaki ah? Like every alternate day can go eat somewhere new :)
