Durian Heroes owner Sabrina Sim said that some staff members bought more than six durians each.With the season in full swing, the king of fruits is very much in demand — so much so that one school invited a durian seller to set up a one-day pop-up stall on campus.
Wang, a 60-year-old driver, told the Chinese evening daily that he was at the school at noon on Wednesday to pick up students when he caught a whiff of the fruit."This is the first time I'm seeing durians being sold in the school, so I was curious."Owner Sabrina Lim, 46, told AsiaOne that she received the invitation from the school two weeks ago.
She added that her team prepared 400kg of Black Gold and regular Musang King varieties after discussing the number of interested buyers with the school.The regular Musang King went for $18 a kilogram, while the Black Gold variety was priced at $22 a kilogram.
