ieat Durian Degustation (18th July 2008)
His second Durian Buffet. I wasn't quick enough to join his first one. Luckily I got special privilege for being his makan kaki. :P

We tried 6 types of durians
- D24 (yucks)
- Red Prawn (sigh, no taste)
- XO (zzzz...)
- Black Pearl (yummy, milky)
- Golden Phoenix (very yummy, tastes like custard)
- Wild Cat (disappointing)

Of all the 6 types of durians tried, I prefer Black Pearl and Golden Phoenix. First time I tried these two. I name the Black Pearl (S$9-10 per kilo) bruised durian (or chey liulian) because the flesh has this black greyish marks. It has a creamy, milky taste.

The Golden Phoenix (S$13 per kilo) is my favourite because I like bitter durians. It has tiny seeds. The Wild Cat durian (S$13 per kilo) isn't up to my expectations. I have tasted the real thing in Bentong. Aiyohhhh. It is the best durians I have ever tasted in my life and whenever I think of them, I get depressed.

I have an uncle who owns durian plantations in Pontian and he's a terrific wild boar hunter. He always leaves the best durians for us. My standard is too high. Holy Drummer asked for every one's views. I was the only one who wasn't satisfied with the durians last night. OMG! Holy Drummer then announced that he would satisfy me, in front of so many people!! I still left the event unsatisfied leh. hehehe.....

Thanks to the organisers, it was a fun event. I get to know so many durian lovers. Time to call my uncle.
