Here's how it works.
No. 1 and most key - you have a contact that knows someone who owns a durian farm in Malaysia growing 猫山王durians no less. You place your order - in denominations of a basket of the obnoxious smelling fruit. You can share with a buddy, go half basket each.
The durian seller trucks your order into Singapore.
You meet durian seller somewhere along Bukit Panjang road - it does sound all very clandestine doesn't it? You put your durians into your car boot.
You drive home to eagerly awaiting family/friends. You gorge. For the next few days, you worry about how to get the stink of stale durian off your fingers; out of your system when you burp.
Begs the question - why this fixation with 猫山王durians? I understand when Singapore loved the D11, D22 durians, those were based on a species breed no. .Is there a 猫山? Or is it also a species name?
I guess I will never know since I don't care much for durians. I did however, partake in 1 such party when my cousin invited me. And I've just text-ed her asking her for another shot of it cos my mom's going into durian withdrawal mode again. And the clandestine operation begins again with durian guy getting my order....
