For those who likes to buy durian from the Yishun chong pang market in front of the coffee shop near the famous 7-11...

Do be careful...

Yesterday had an incident, when someone bought 4 durian ( those $5 a durian kind) and ask for putting into boxes, but they were distracted by the $3 for 2 kg mangosteen and did not monitor the hawker ...

The employee quickly unpacked 3 durian instead of 4 into the packet and gave to the women....

But the women complain that how come 4 big durian only can fill 3 boxes...but just quietly paid up...

Most of the passer-by also keep quiet as do not want trouble...

So watch out for these dishonest hawker....

I really do not understand what is the point of cheating when there are mountains of durian unsold....but its very important to be viligant unless you want to be short changed....

anybody can recommend me durian stalls that are trustworthy?

my father bought a square styrofoam of MSW for $30. based on my assessment not only is it not MSW, it is also not even 1kg. I will ask my father for the stall and location of it tonight and publicly shame this stall owner.

but at the same time i also want to help my father by introducing some other more trustworthy stalls.

Back to the same stall...

Indeed this stall is a black nasty cheat...

Last week I wanted to buy some MSW and this friendly malaysia chinese open for me a big heavy brown durian that looks very similar to MSW

My and my wife saw the fresh was bright yellow and small seeds , but the taste was very bland...totally not like MSW,

The seller insist it is MSW.... and opened another one......which tasted just as bland...he pressure us saying sweet MSW is taste like this one..

Bull **** man, MSW taste is damn thick,sweet and heavenly not like this lousy taste. He keep putting pressure on us but we were firm and told him that we will not pay $$ for this kinda standard of MSW....

he start to give me the black black face.....

Then suddenly I check the bottle of the fruit and shouted " Hey where is the star ?? How come this MSW so small star one!!!"

After which he also shocked and muttle ...."eh...this star already very big you cannot see meh"

I shouted again..." No lah..MSW star very big one...how come your star so small...wah lau eh!!!"

Immediately, people start to crowd aroung to look see what's going on... then sensing that he got problem he quickly open up 3 real MSW and move on to do other things...

After I got home i did my research and realise that thie bloody assehole wanted to sell me the fake MSW called tawa which sells for $6/kg at MSW price of $15/kg

TMD!!!!!

People please avoid this chong pang stall at all cost....real cheaters!!!

Lucky never ganna chop...he took the 2 biggest Tawa that weight almost 6kg ($36) and wanted to sell it to me at $90...wah lau...really despicable man!!

Please all see the photo below
