This trip to another temporary durian stall (See Part 1 for another temporary stall in Redhill) came about as my brother-in-law had won my money over a game of mahjong. So I coax him into treating us a 猫山皇 Mao Shan Huang (translated as Cat Mountain King). The 'Mao Shan Huang' is a premium variant of durians imported from Malaysia. It is priced at S$12~18 per kilogram. My BIL led us to a temporary durian stall in Stirling Road that is able to deliver the different premium durian variants. You'll need to call to make an order though. We arrived at the stall at 2:30pm to ensure that we get the fresh durians.

I noticed that this variant has a wider thorn base such that the spikes are seen as further apart ehen compared to the D24 (another premium durian). We got one and it cost us S$33 (Thanks BIL).

The texture is much creamy and dense when compared to the other variant.
How we enjoy durian party : So like drinking wine, you start with bubblies, to the white, may be a Merlot, then to a Shiraz. In the Durian World, you eat may eat the D24s, D100, before going for 'Mao Shan Huang'
