I grew up in the area; have been a long time customer but had stopped patronizing them for awhile.
Had to give a fair review this time round......went in approx 10pm at night when the store was closing
Attended by one of the employees.
Initially wanted to push me prepacked durians etc. But I stood firm and wanted fresh durians. Was offered MSW at $34/kg nett......
Employee did not allow me to choose my durians citing they had kept the durians inside their store and it's employees only..... I was told to be seated and just served the durian and cited it was just freshly opened.
Durians came approx 1kg sizes (look I did ask for bigger 1.5-2kg ones) as MSW needed to have better size for value.
One of the durian was obviously pre-opened as we can tell that the stalk or the internal stem has been exposed to air and somewhat browned and oxidized compared to freshly opened ones (my bad I did not take picture of that)
Bill came in @ $185 for 5kg worth of durians, due to GST blah blah blah (oh come on we were not told theres GST)
In the very first place, durians were all approx 1kg or less sizes (pic of the durian we take away in container can prove it's size) we ate 3 small durians and took away the 4th, we did not even have access to the weighing scale or whatsoever
1. Don't really care if you eat the scales; most of the durian vendors do so anyways.... We only lose 500g max 1kg...
2. It was the annoyance of being treated as carrot head or some tourist.
3. Still wanted to give us sub-par durians, bad service attitude and wanted to upsell us so called good grade durians
Had great respect for the owner in the past, but it seems greed can really bring a 180° change in everything
