:oops: :oops: I actually went, during the later bit of CNY. Couldn't help t lah. This thread got me so uh, in need. But it was closed ! Now that you remind me again ...

Alamak, you made a wasted trip there? Are you around the area, or purposely made the trip? I have been keeping an eye on the stall and meant to update you on it, but you beat me to it. Only saw the first signs of durians when I passed by last night!

'Reminding you'?? :lol: :lol: Isn't that what we are supposed to do? As in tempting each other? :lol: :lol: Otherwise why would there be a thread specially dedicated to durians?

Tks so much, 25hrmaid! Yah, like mathsparks says, yr name v long to type, esp now that I'm surfing on the go.

Will definitely tell u when I go again. Is mountain cat from 717 or is it another shop next door?

Hi Blobbi, like I told mathsparks, you can shorten my nick to "maid’ if you want to. I am okay with it.


717 is the only shop in that row, and there isn’t another durian stall next door. The nearest competitor is a short distance away, across an overhead bridge, over at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre side, but that one, no fight with 717. Hardly see people eating there.

Sorry, I mean cat mountain. What’s that hah, Mathsparks?


Hoohoo, 25hrmaid (better lah!), sounds like 717 is THE place for durian, keke.

猫山王 or cat mountain durian is a type of durian lah! Thought we have already discussed that at the beginning of this thread? mathspaks used cat mountain for short.

There’s also a stall outside Emicakes (along the same stretch as HK Street), I’ve bought there a couple of times but I find that the quality not very consistent. However, having said that, my brother-in-law has been buying from that store for quite some time and he finds that the quality’s quite good (different seller perhaps?) Anyway, I always go to 717 UNLESS really can’t wait till their goods get in at about 6-7pm. By the way, they have a stall along Balestier Road too.

You are around the area too? Have never tried the one outside Emicakes, a bit out of the way, and why settle for that one when there is 717 around?

BTW, have you tried the one at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre side, outside the 7-Eleven? This one is nearer to me, but never tried before, don't know honest or not.

I don't stay around the area but anything for good durian, right?! Anyway I'm not too far away from them (I stay at TPY). People ask why I don't get my fix at Lor 8 but really, nothing beats 717, they really do have THE best quality durian.


I've not tried the one outside the shopping centre...

Yes, good durians know no distance! :lol:
