  • Durians Bought At Yishun Chong Pang Market By Family Contained Worms Inside, Returned To Get Refund

    Durians Bought At Yishun Chong Pang Market By Family Contained Worms Inside, Returned To Get Refund

    I was craving for durians today, so my family head over to Chong Pang market fruits stall (the one with the tentage as shown in the post). The seller kept psycho us to get $18/kg durians but we ended up buying 2 @ $30 even though his attitude was bad (probably because we didn’t get the ones @ $18/kg).

    I was the first to taste the durians when we got home since I was craving for it. To my horror, there were worms in the durian, faint ~ FYI, I didn’t notice till the second bite as I felt there were crunchy bits inside the flesh.

    Went back to the same stall & told the seller about it. His replied was: 一个而已吗, 再选两个咯 (one only, choose another two durians lor). LOL fuck you, who wants to have the second one after the worms have digested into my stomach -.- & the seller don’t even feel apologetic at all. So my dad asked for a refund since we don’t want to have the durians anymore. Another guy passed us the $ and said 拿拿 (take take). Lol hello, we don’t owe you anything. All we want is to get the refund as the incident of having worms already grossed me.

    Yishunites or whoever buys fruits from there, just be careful. Please check the quality of the fruits before consuming. You may also consider to buy fruits from the opposite stall instead.

  • Risking Life And Limb In Search of Durians In Singapore

    Risking Life And Limb In Search of Durians In Singapore

    A heavy thud broke through the thick forest at Mandai Road.

    It caught the attention of carpenter Lee Tian Xing, 65, who immediately darted in the direction of the sound on Monday.

    He reached the spot, brushed some leaves away and smiled gleefully.

    He got what he was after: A durian.

    “It will not be as good as D24 (a better grade of the fruit),” he said, “but it should taste good enough.”

    Mr Lee said he picked up about 10 durians that day from his four-hour stakeout.

    He said: “Some of the durians were too small and had little flesh.

    “I would try them first before throwing them away.”

    By the time he left the area, he had taken home six durians to share with his family. He was accompanied by two friends, who wanted to be known only as Mr Lim and Mr Soo.

    But it is not all sweet for the group.

    Their pursuit, while mostly fruitful, is illegal.
