Mao Shan Wang durians the top ranked brand of the King of Fruits.
My regular lunch with my Saturday lunch khaki Fang KS normally brings us all over the island. I would normally start the weekend morning running either 6K or 8K at the East Coast Park starting at the bike station beside carpark B1 and then heading due east along East Coast Park connector.
Yesterday, as it was overcast, and drizzling, I changed the routine somewhat and spent the first 15 minutes at my swim club sauna room, sweating buckets at a temperature of 70C to 75 C. I then took off for a run along the Singapore river near the National Stadium. I ended up covering a total of 4K of approximately 8 minutes 30 seconds per km.
On meeting with my lunch buddy, we had a nice seafood lunch at Scaled Restaurant, which is a vertical integrated business whereby the owner operates a kelong, as well as a restaurant.
After the lunch, we then adjourned nearby to try some durians. Lo and Behold, we chanced upon this gem of a durian shop. It was called Chong Hwa Durians. The shop which is newly acquired sits at 141 Tyrwhitt Road. We were pleasantly served by 2 young men who offered us this package of Buy 2 get one Free.
The price per box of one Mao Shan Wang was $20 each. So for $40 we got 3 boxes which turns out to be $13.30 per box.
The first box which we ate (about 10 - 12 seeds) was outstandingly good. The flesh was soft, and the taste was a little bitter but once you got into it, a full slightly sweet flavour filled the palate. Borh of us ate outside their shop and were given the royal treatment with plastic hand gloves, a bottle of water and the sheer delight of eating the best fruit dessert on the planet bar none.
It was absolutely amazing.
As a durian lover, I would go back and get some more.
The King of Fruits is back in season.
Remember the name. Chong Hwa Durians and Fruits.
