Tonight we met up with some friends for supper in this Vietnamese restaurant in China Square, not far from our hotel in the China town area. The Pho was small and not filling. Needless to say, after supper we were still "hungry" for more. As my iron-wife wanted to have some durian, even though not in season at the moment in Singapore, friend drove us to this area called Geylang.
Geyland is famous for: food, red light district and durian. After driving up one side of Geyland, we stopped in front of a durian shop. It was just a little dive with two sides of the shop lined with durians. S$5 for one and S$10 for 3. Durian was thrown away if it was not good enough. We ordered two for the 4 of us; as well, we bought some mangosteen and Rambutan. Well, durian is a "hot" fruit so to counteract its effect causing to the internal body system, one needs to eat Mangosteen, a "cool" fruit. So, we munched on both sitting on a table just a bit off the road. We managed to have one and a half durians and most of the Mangosteen.
When we left, we drove thru the same street with more durian stalls. Apparently all the best durians right now in Singapore are from Malaysia; the price is cheap here; but in Malaysia, price is doubled. Yikes.
