It would be hard to miss friends posting about durians online, or catching the aroma when you walk pass fruit stores now that the durian session is back! Steffi, like myself, is a durian lover, and her eyes literally lit up when she saw our delivery from 8 Durians.
They are packed in these sturdy boxes and vacuum packed. But one can still smell the durians, albeit faintly. |
While I still have to admit that opening up some durians and gathering round the tables with friend, and discussing the intensity and aroma of different cultivars would still be the best experience. But in this climate now, ordering online and getting them dehusked and delivered to the comfort of your home, would be the next best practical thing.
These 3 boxes were enough to keep the durian-lovers in the family very happy indeed. |
The durians come in a box that is vacuum-sealed in plastic but the durian aroma is unmistakable. The moment we opened it and even though the boys (who are not exactly durian fans) were far away, they shouted out loud, asking how come there was durian smell!
You can imagine the distinctive aroma of these beautiful MSW right? |
The first thing that struck me was the how little durians there seemed to be only, and dunno how big the actual seed were lor especially when they were showing in their premium AAA and Black Gold MSW from Pahang High Mountain Plantation. The Penang Red Prawn also looked quite small.
Small flat seed of the MSW even though they were showing though the flesh. |
Look at these incredibly small seeds from some regular-sized Red Prawn flesh! |
Hahaha in the end my fears were unfounded because the seeds were literally flat for the MSW and even for the Red Prawn, some had seeds so small that I might accidentally swallow them lor! And that is even though the flesh looks regular sized! It was a great durian feast with the family, sans the boys would prefer something else. I love the sweet flesh MSW with the tinge of bitterness. The red prawn is also nice lah, and the after taste felt almost like having a little alcohol at the end.
Thanks for the durian treat for the family, and I must say that you guys really have some pretty good quality stuff delivered to us! So actually unless one hates durians, fuss-free ordering with super fast delivery would have to be 8 Durian. Hmm shouldn't it be 8 Durians instead though?
