Ytd backside itchy changed my wind shield to MRA sport (given by previous owner). This morning when on my way to office, feel the maximum wind blow on my body and face, tat moment I'm miss..... my stock wind shield very much. When I reach home this evening, the 1st thing to do is change back to my stock one. so miss her

 

Conclusion, really can't imaging how much the stock wind shield block the wind until i felt it today.... LOL

Thursday Durian TCSS suggestion

 

Balestier Road, next to Rocca Balestier.

Stall name is "Combat". It's along the main road, just have to travel say 50m further down quality hotel. Can park at the pavement along the small slip road of Rocca Balestier. There's always a temple behind it.

 

You will be able to see the stall from the google map street view too. There's a big red/white stripe shelter.

 

This is the one I mentioned, $15 per box of Mao Shan Wang. My dad have been patronizing them for many years le.

 

So far, other than SW9000 and me, who is keen?

Four Seasons Durian Cafe

212 Joo Chiat Place, quite famous stall along still road, just opposite the famous pepper crab.

seems their durians are not bad but a little pricey... MSH at 20/kg, D24XO 18/kg, anghei 12/kg, etc.

it is also featured on a few blogs such as:

http://ieatishootipost.sg/2008/06/ieat-durian-degustation-session.html

http://ieatclub.com/four-seasons-durian-cafe-532/review.htm

 

101 Durian

335 Smith Street, Chinatown Complex; ground floor of Chinatown Complex Food Centre near the CK (the famous porridge side).

http://www.followmefoodie.com/2010/06/singapore-101-durian-the-famous-king-of-durian-stand/

i've tried the durians there a few times, sometimes good sometimes soso only, maybe its the season issue.

[scoobydoo]

saw this interesting post at Makansutra...

 

For Good Durians, i always order or get my supply from Mr Lee @ 6447 2456/9661 8817.

 

Mr Lee is not your ordinary durian seller. He makes arrangement with his supplier in Malaysia and only selectively handpicks several baskets of durians each day. He has his own very niche clienteles...

 

Whenever he has good durians, he will contact me and only allocate a few kgs... anything more than that, gotta wait....

 

so, you can call him and be put in his call list.... in fact, he just called me... got good stuff today.... wait no more.... tell him Mr Tay recommends..... and he will not take advantage of you...he does push his "loot" around.... he hand picks his durians; (only the best) and calls his list of faithful clients.... to prove that his durians are fresh, you ought to collect them before 6pm daily.... reason;-

 

his supplies arrive about 4pm.. .he will pack them and you muct collect the same day....

 

when the season is off or he feels that current durians are of lower quality, he rather not sell any.....

 

this is Mr Lee.... he comes across as a very honest durian seller.... i got to know him many years back from a fruit trader at Pasir Panjang...
