I smelled durian while watching this and I thought, wow this video so powerful. Turns out it was just from one of my neighbours.

It's time to give in and buy some for yourself.

The supply of durians this year is so high that Malaysian vendors are selling them for a few RM each. Just don't get too greedy like me and end up with sore throat from eating too much.

Not a durian fan but the other food looks good too. Very 古早味。

Very nice concept for a fruit "buffet" in the Hillview area. Basically you can pick all the fruits and vegetables that are misshapen, discoloured or not suitable for supermarket sale for either $10 or $20, as long as you can fit them into the provided containers.

Not a bad idea! Better than letting all that food go to waste.

Yeah exactly, food wastage is quite a big problem in Singapore.

I wonder if people will just stuff their boxes with mangoes like how regular buffet customers stuff their plates with salmon and other seafood.

I think I'll whack the peaches to make peach smoothies.

Definitely won't be stuffing the boxes with leafy veggies or apples...
