I've been eyeing at the durian in Hong Kong market for a while now. Almost all the durian here are the golden pillow variety imported from Thailand. The normal durian price in Houston hovers around $1.50/lb to $2/lb and it's available year round. We ran out of rice and made a trip to Hong Kong mall to Jasmine rice this past Sunday. I was delighted to see that the durian has a price reduction to $1.19/lb. This durian is about 5lbs and the total is about $5.50. It's actually on par with the price we would pay in Malaysia.
Ah Beng, a family friend came by from Louisiana, we tried to pry open the durian. The durian was still frozen hard and we had a hard time just trying get it to crack. So the decision is to let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few days. We will open it this weekend. Stay tune!
