Golden Bittersweet Mao Shan Wang: The King of Durians.
Durian is known to most Asians as the King of Fruits. Mao Shan Wang, or Cat Mountain King (a direct translation used by locals), is a species of durian known to some as the Durian King. 
The aroma it gives is one that is as strong as any other durians. But you can see the difference in the colour of its wrinkly flesh. The deep golden yellow is unmistakably one of the most prominent characteristics of a Mao Shan Wang.

Ah Meng here, the man who delivers the goods in his van, will tell you that a 100% organic Mao Shan Wang, from Muar, Johor, Malaysia, is simply different from all durians there are out there, namely the D24, D13, XO, 101 and more.
The taste is bittersweet, the texture is thick and creamy, the seeds are small, and your satisfaction is guaranteed at a seasonal price that ranges from S$12 to S$16 a kg.
Now with half of my unfinished durians nicely tucked away in my freezer, (yes, keep your Mao Shan Wang in the freezer just long enough and you can eat them like soft-serve ice-cream), I'm forever indebted to Adeline Chung - my ever resourceful neighbour who introduced me to the knowledgeable durian man, Ah Meng.
For those who do not care much for the durian fruit, there is another option for you to actually get to like the taste.
Check out the homemade Mao Shan Wang ice-cream at Blic Ice-Cream Cafe, at Tampines Ave 4 – http://foursquare.com/venue/1201170
