Combat Durian

Other than Geylang, Dempsey or Haig Road, you can find delicious durians in Balestier too!

We decided to patronize this makeshift durian stall (Combat Durian) in front of Ruby Plaza (beside Quality Hotel). For the first time together we didn't have our durians at home!

The "Red Prawn" durian that the uncle recommended was very nice - sweet and soft and a little bitter aftertaste. *btw I love my durians sweet and not overly bitter*. $10 per kg. The durian was 2kg (average) and we paid $20. I think this is one of the more expensive durian I've bought. The previous time at Geylang was about $5 to $8 per kg. Eventually we had 1 durian to share, licked our fingers clean and washed it off at a tap nearby. They even had tissue boxes and small packets of mineral water for us.




Our Red Prawn


Observing their stall from behind. Facing the main Balestier Road - cannot be missed. We also noticed a lorry unload their durians just before we arrived. That means, our durian was very fresh.
