SS2 Durian

After a heavy western food, I proceed for a durian eating session in SS2. In SS2 along 2/75 street, you can see many stalls selling durian beside the road. Just pick a table, sit down and the person there will pick your order. It is just like restaurant but they just serve you durian. Their staff are very skillful in opening durian and they have many selection to choose from. Among the famous gene of durian that they have are raja kunyit, udang merah (ang heh), D24, Thraka & D101. The difference between the genes are the thickness of the flesh, sweetness, taste, colour & smell. Don't play-play, they have their own website: www.durianss2.com.

Taste:9/10(Offer good quality durian and plenty of selection).
Price:4/10(Expensive. Price wise, it is on higher end. One kilogram of durian price between MYR10 to MYR35 depends on the type).


Just pick a table and sit down.

Ordered XO. I like the bitterness of durian.

Complete with free flow of water, place to wash hands & tissue.
