Durian Season Part 2: Pekan Nanas, Johor

with the Durianistas from my office

Last year, we made a road trip to Kampung Teratai to sample the delights of fresh durians. This year, we decided to do the trip again...but decided on Pekan Nanas which is much nearer...only about 50 mins drive from Johor Bahru.

The durians featured here are not the "branded" styles, but coss grafted, mixed, and kind of mogrel type...what is known as durian kampung (village durians).

The durians were mainly thin flesh, huge seeds. But most of the fruits we had were bitter sweet. None of them were exceptional, but all were very good.








GPS Location:

Dear Mr Chong,
my name is Andrea Montanari, I am an Italian postgrad student at NUS and my research project is about durian consumption in Singapore. Would it be possible to have your contacts? I would like to informally interview for my research; if you kindly give me your email I can write you more details. Thank you very much (also for your useful and delightful blog). I look forward for hearing from you.
Best Regards,

Dear Wesley
I believe I am confused with the GPS coordinations that being listed both in the FB and http://bit.ly/LfVrIk. I have plotted the 1.501780
103.546890 and found that it is located after Kota Tinggi and not near Pekan Nanas.
Can I have the GPS coordinates for Uncle's Lim Durian? Appreciate it very much.
Regards
Ronnie
