But I think the random English-whatever-Earl-black tea is probably only drinkable if you eat some cookies first

not very much thai durian comes to singapore, instead most of thai durian makes its way to china and many other places. although i never really liked the thai mon-thong.. i regret to say that i've never had the chance to purchase nor taste the real kanyao (super expensive too!). selling durian's good money now.when i went up to malaysia recently, took a look at a few plantations/roadside stalls, they dont have anything good for sale, everything goes into the trucks of the wholesaler/re-exporters where better money can be made.ethan wrote:Durian, when perfect, provides so much wonderful, powerful, sensation; I don't think anything can compete immediately after eating it. I'd advise spending an hour or so just relishing its unique effects & aftertaste.
In Thailand in March & April this year, I found none that was good. When the crop is poor, I think the good durian gets shipped to Japan & Singapore, Kyarzen.
