Common questions

When is Golden Phoenix durian in season in Singapore?
Malaysia: Jun–Aug. Fresh-crop months by origin.
Which country's Golden Phoenix is best in October?
Golden Phoenix is not usually on shelves in October.
How do I pick a ripe durian?
Smell: Strong and sweet, never sour or alcoholic. Stem: Moist and fresh. A dried, dark stem means it's old. Thorns: Press two thorns together: slight flex means ripe. Ask: Good stalls will open one so you can check the flesh.
How should I store durian?
Eat the same day. Lasts 1–2 days opened. Put opened flesh in an airtight box in the fridge, ideally double-wrapped, or everything will smell of durian.
