Musang King let its presence be known a powerful, gassy aroma punched out like it had something to prove.Bright yellow flesh, almost neon, smooth as silk and dense as fudge on the first bite. Bittersweet, rich, and outrageously creamy. It so yummy be it MSW or Black Thorn.

I am travelling and visited this shop based on the excellent reviews, and I want disappointed. The Durian was absolutely delectable, sweet, and very large! In addition I was a few dollars short with the last of my cash but the brother still gave me. The shop is only a 2 minute walk from Toa Payoh station. Additionally, the prices seemed quite competitive compared to other stalls I had passed - musan king about $28/kg

Ordered durians for a company event. The durians were fresh and good. Service is very good as they are very helpful to mix different types of durians based on our request. Delivery was on time, and everything went smoothly. We enjoyed the durians. Will order again for future events.

Went twice. Boss is professional in selecting only the good durians for us. Only downside is not enough seats and maybe abit crowded during peak hour

Craving for a durian treat after dinner and came by to try this one out seeing the high reviews.. The MSW was pretty tasty, with small seeds and thick flesh. They also serve you small bottled waters, tissues and gloves while you dine in there Definitely will be back for these treats!
