durians


Last year, my friend told me that there are some durian plantation at Bukit Batok West Ave 5. We took the bus, and found the place. Nearby there was a primary school, HongKah Primary School, and the durian plantation was in Restricted Area.

I saw many people walking through a small track and we followed, and walked for 10 minutes and saw many durian trees. Some are waiting at below the tree, waiting for the durians to fall. Heard from them that if you pluck the durians, it was not so good as it has not ripe yet. The best one is that the durian falls to the ground and is confirmed ripe.

We waited and managed to get a few and placed them inside plastic bag, and went home.
Using a knife, i opened, and scoped with spoon and placed onto a plate, and passed around with my friends to eat.

It was delicious and it melt in your mouth. The taste was fantastic, as it was freshly-picked.

Yummy..heavenly taste!!

Not forgetting the rumbutan trees nearby. We plucked a pastic full and ate to our fill.

Is it legal? Isn't it government property? Me and my friends plucked some mangoes along a road many years ago. It's a good thing we were not caught ;p And since we plucked them ourselves, the mangoes were not ripe but sour ;p

Any danger of durians dropping on your head? I hate snakes. I'd crushed one before with a supermarket trolley ;p think it was probably somebody's pet snake that sneaked out of its tank or something ;p
