29 seeds from 2 Durian Kampung

Durian prices have not dropped so drastically in Penang .

We wanted to eat some more expensive varieties but unfortunately , the seller only had Durian Kampung left , thus there really wasn't much choice as I do not fancy the Ang Hea species which he was trying to get me to purchase , either .

In the end , I picked 2 out of the pile which turned out to contain 29 seeds in total !
So many seeds were contained inside these two fruits , it felt as if I was witness to a conjuring magic trick !

10 ringgit a kilo durians - pass or not ?

By the time we noticed this mobile vendor , this was all that was left .

" Durian kampung " said the seller 

" Satu kilo , sepuluh ringgit "

I guess it was the crowd mentality , we see people grabbing , we also followed suit .

Verdict : you get what you pay for .

We took 2 durians . One was ok , the other was um .....I think they're from Thailand ? 

But for those who have been lusting after durians for so long , the price was a godsend and the man finished selling all in no time at all .

I have to say that this is NOT durian kampung , these are either clones or very young trees that just began to fruit . Let me repeat again that you get what you pay for , unless you're making tempoyak ikan patin or some dessert , then it doesn't really matter if the durian is top notch or not .
