Durian Durian

On Thursday, my colleagues and I went to Katong to have a durian buffet. We did the most important preparation by having little for dinner.

At 8pm, we were all ready for our durian... but our boss has not arrived yet, so we started with the appetiser - Mangosteen and 'Lu ku'.



Finally, after a long wait, our first durian is served at 8.30pm.



By then, we were all drooling and really couldn't wait for the boss of the durian stall to explain to us the type of durian that is being served to us. See... the durians looked really good, didn't they?



After digging into the durians, I turned around and realised that my colleague from China has a really interesting way of eating durian. Never have I seen anyone eating durian in such a 'weird' manner. Don't believe? See it for yourself!



By 9.30pm, our much anticipated 'Cat-Mountain-King' (猫山王) still has not been served. In order to reserve some space for the King of Durians, we decided to 'tabao' whatever that we could not finish.



Finally, here comes our much awaited King... One of my colleagues descibed it as 'the best of the best' (极品中的极品)!



Hmm... I felt that though the 'Cat-Mountain-King' was good, but not sure whether it was due to the fact that by then I was almost full, I thought 'Red-Prawn' (红虾) was the best durian of the night! And 'Tai-Yuan' (太源), though looked a little pale and small in size, was not bad too!
