26th August 2011 – Durian Crazy in the Singapore Newspapers
When I opened the Singapore newspaper The Straits Times today I spotted durian mentioned on 3 different pages of the paper.
The first one that I spotted was the one of the presidential candidates sniffing (or admiring) one at a durian stall:

Is it a Mau Sang Wang?
The next one was an ad on the front page of the classified section :
Durian Stall Advertisement
Hey, it really is Mau Sang Wang!
And finally, the following one was the actual advertisement for the stall with an incentive to visit:
Durian Advertisement in Singapore
So if you are looking to have a durian party in Singapore, this might be the place to call to organize it for you…
If the address isn’t clear enough, here it is:
6 Clementi Road
#01-08 (AYE Exit 9), Near NUS
Opening hours, 1pm-2am daily
Tel: 9122 5222
Maybe if I can visit their stall I can ask them whether they’ll give a special discount to Stinky Spikes readers

Taste of Stinky Spikes
I was taught to eat durian by my father at the age of 4. Peeping into the kitchen late one evening, I saw my parents crouched on the floor over a makseshift carpet of newspapers, energetically ripping the husks of a stinky green fruit apart. I was more amazed with the enthusiasm of my parents towards their activity than the fruit itself. My father happened to look up and saw me watching quietly from the kitchen door, he beckoned me to come over to have a look.
Casting a glance at my mother to check that it was alright to be out of bed at that hour, I decided that the coast was fairly clear and proceeded over. At that point, my dad had just opened a husk and grabbed a small piece. He made out as if he was demonstrating how he was going to eat it, but instead shoved it into my mouth. I didn’t know what to expect and so decided to give this alien item a chance.
Those chances still keep coming.
