Red Prawn Durian
The Red Prawn durian has a distinct orange red flesh which is the main reason for its name. This type of durian is great for durian lovers who prefer to have their durians on the sweeter side. Typically, Red Prawn durians have a strong scent with a predominantly sweet taste that overpowers the bitterness. It also leaves a sweet aftertaste and has smaller seeds. This durian variety is preferred by individuals who would like to get more ‘meat’ in their durians and prefer to have less bitterness in their fruit.
FAQ Regarding Red Prawn
Q: Why is your Red Prawn price in 400g and not per kg like most durian stalls?
A: Our durians are de-husked to ensure easier delivery. Can you imagine if our deliveryman has to put the thorny durians into their vehicles? Each pack of durian comes in packs of 400g, which we weigh electronically. You can check the weight at home if you wish to. A common misconception is that our durians are expensive, which is not true. Typically, it takes about 1.6kg of durians to produce 400g of durians, which is why our red prawn is priced in such a manner.
Q: There is a practice of durian stalls packing over leftover durians and selling them in packs, is that what you guys do?
A: We have been in the durian business long enough to know that such a practice does happen. The reason for durian stalls to pack their durians is to keep them as fresh as possible. However, we have to say absolutely that that is not something we do at all. Our durians are packed on the day itself, which is why you can only order for delivery from a certain time. Our leftover durians are frozen and sold to cake shops, bakeries and pastry shops to be used in their durian food. Such shops would be like Emicakes, etc.
