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.
