Combat Durian is a reputable durian dealer in Singapore, where you’ll find amazing Musang King durians. Get more details on my Singapore food guide: http://migrationology.com/2016/01/singapore-food/
Compared to other foods I ate in Singapore, durian is a little bit different… it’s the only all natural, uncooked, and unprepared, right off the tree delicacy I had. The reason I had to include durian on my must eat list of foods is not only because it’s the King of Fruit and such an amazing natural creation, but also because I’m a bit addicted to durian and I can’t resist any opportunity to eat it.
Combat Durian – Known as Combat Durian because they want you to “come back,” or rather after eating one of their durians you’ll want to come back immediately – or just sleep for a little while and wake up and eat another durian. I showed up in the mid-afternoon, and the durian was all on display and ready to be sold. One of the varieties of durian that Combat is most well known for is Musang King, which in Chinese is called Mao Shan Wang, and in English is called Cat Mountain King. The type of durian is originally from Malaysia, and even the durians sold at Combat are grown in Malaysia on the private farm of the owner of the shop.
Ying and I chose a nice almost 2 kilo durian, which cost me a total of $32 SGD, which is very expensive for a fruit, but after eating it, I can tell you it was definitely worth every dollar. After choosing our fruit and cutting it up, we took a seat at one of the red tables and began to feast.
The lumps of the Musang King durian were very yellow, like butter, and had a waxy shiny skin on each piece. The fruit was perfectly ripe, and it was one of the creamiest things I’ve ever had in my life – like whipped cream, sweet like honey, and with a tinge of a bitterness to contrast it all. It was indeed probably the best durian I’ve ever had in my life. Ying and I sat there in almost near silence, apart from lots of groaning, and finishing off our Mao Shan Wang. The final bite was a little bitter sweet, knowing it was the end, but knowing that I had just consumed one of the best durians I had ever eaten in my life.

I’m sad. I live in the UK. Can’t buy durian here.
Not everyone can eat durian, but when you used to eating it, you love it for long?
Hello, my friend. Musang King is from Malaysia.
No No And Hell No!
Singapore does not grow durians, most of their durians are imported from neighboring Malaysia.

Why eat Durian in Singapore when the original country is just 2-3 hours drive and it cost 3 times lesser with better quality. By the way, all durian are importer from Malaysia.
