A Surprise Durian Delight in Clementi: Fish Shopping Turned Flavor Adventure
So, picture this: I’m at an aquarium shop in the Clementi area, just minding my own business and shopping for some fish, when a delightful surprise falls into my lap—a fantastic durian seller!
I hadn’t planned on hunting for durian that day, but fate had other ideas. The seller, going by the name Durian Dezato, caught my eye while I was busy picking out fish for my aquarium. And trust me, my eyes weren’t the only ones sparkling; my dear’s eyes lit up too, probably more from relief than anything. Fish shopping isn’t exactly her idea of a thrilling time! 😂

We stumbled upon this gem of a durian seller just in time. All their durians were sold out, but as luck would have it, they found one last Golden Phoenix durian just for us. Without a second thought about whether it was ripe or not, we snagged it.

This Golden Phoenix durian set us back about $29, but it was worth every penny. It was fresh, perfectly ripe, and deliciously sweet without being overly buttery—meaning you could devour it endlessly without feeling queasy.

We were over the moon with our unexpected durian find. Next time, we’re aiming to try their famous Mao San Wang durian if it’s available.

A little Googling revealed that Durian Dezato used to have a shop at this very spot, but it had temporarily closed. It seems they’re currently renting space outside to sell their durians.
So, if you ever find yourself in Clementi for some fish shopping, keep an eye out—you might just walk away with a tasty durian treasure!
