Dunno which idiot posted FB photo on durian. So my hubby said he saw the photo, how can I say no to his craving as he seldom has one.
So we went geylang for frog leg porridge. And went to this shop opposite 126 to buy durian.
WONDERFUL DURIAN AT LOR 17
My requirement is simple: deep yellow meat, sweet. But I am not requesting good quality! Should have specify upfront, yes partly my fault.
But the seller immediately broughtt me to $12/kg section Mao Shan wang!and everything happen too fast for a pregnant lady!! He just opened one big one and said see yellow, good one, Only 1kg plus, knn I so naive. Coz $12 x 1kg acceptable to me. but It freaking weighs near 3kg on the scale lor... Then he quickly opened the 2nd one and put on the scale. I keep telling him we cannot finished, looking so stunned at the same time. And he went on to open the 3rd one!!! Total 8.7kg x $11 (he give me discount).
We were really too shocked to react and being usually nice, we feel bad that he had opened the durians so we feel obliged to take those. While he was packing the durians, he sensed my unhappiness and picked out a smaller cheaper one and said give me for free.
I got so upset that I literally shouted at him throughout the period he packed the durian. This buay paiseh continue to nag at me saying i will be grateful that this price can get this quality. On retrospective, he could have swooped the durians when he brought it to the back!!! And if msw is small seeds, I am quite sure he mixed with others coz I ate some with big seeds. Darn him.
When I walked out from the stall, I cried.
Total 5 full boxes of durian! i want so much for what?!?! You sell also must understand people's requirement what.
I am angry with him and myself. I should have walked away!!! We just want to buy abit, cheap quality also okay. Lesson learnt. It's the selling techniques that irks me. And I will never patronize him again! Beware!
And I am soooooo full now, I couldn't sleep. Zzzzz adding on to the frustration!
Super thanks to Eric and Pam! Four of us only cleared two boxes. We forced the couple to bring back one box and we passed two boxes to my reliable friend. Hehehe. At least no wastage. See! If only two of us, we can only eat 1/2 box max stuffing ourselves to death.
And to the seller, you cheat a pregnant lady. May karma stays with you forever...
