Fun 'N Snow 雪中寶

Buying snow Wan Chai

The durian stall replaced a casual pop up selling everything for 3 Hong Kong dollars. Eating durians in Hong Kong is always a splurge for me, and it was on a wet drizzly day that I suddenly decided that I was desperate for durian. There I was across the street at the stoplight, huddled under an umbrella, my shoes soaked in murky sidewalk rain water and what do I see? Whaaaat was going on? This called for an investigation. I zoomed in for a closer look and a chat with the lady at the stall. Upon smelling them, I decided to go for the pack with an assortment of small seeds. When I was at the shop, I saw a leaflet pasted on the wall advertising a durian buffet in Wan Chai. Sounded interesting, it went into my calendar. As you descend the escalators from Lane Crawford down to CitySuper in Causeway Bay, a welcome whiff or durian greets you. These seasonal displays have taken over the front section and the usual fruit and fresh produce has been shifted inside. I turned left towards the massive array of cheeses, nope the scent was off. So I turned back right and yep, picked up the scent again. Weaving in and out I finally found the durians round the back of the shelf near the drinks section towards the cashiers. The aroma was very robust and with good sharp accents yet had a soft sweet touch to it. Musang king yes. But what else? I was curious which one commanded a higher price. The black thorn became a popular hybrid a few years ago but I remember noting this durian in Penang almost a decade ago. The Black thorn durians are also looking a little larger than the Musang Kings hence the higher price on the ticket per fruit. At Sogo they have the whole durians on sale but you can also buy them already in packets. Looks good. You can see from the picture above, a packet with just one segment will set you back HKD Worth it? Aiyo ka gui bui sai jiak translation from Teochew: ah too expensive cannot eat la. It was the mid-Autumn festival last weekend. Quite drizzly in parts but it did clear up to a full moon on the day itself. The day before, that is on the 8th of September, I was in Tsing Yi and in the Maritime mall waiting to meet up with a friend. In the concourse area was a typical exhibition booth space where many bakeries, restaurants and candy shops were hawking their wares. Of course, most of it was festival related and moon cakes were the main feature. As I strolled around the booths, I was hunting for something very specific. Guess what…? I really like the piggy in the basket moon cake biscuit. I used to love the ones that the Shangri La in Singapore made, shaped in lions or goldfish they no longer do this. Well, quite suddenly, I halted in my tracks. I spotted a stall selling moon cakes with durian. It was the only stall I had seen in the entire exhibition. Just to make sure that this was the case, I walked around twice more and confirmed that this was indeed the only stall. This was certainly the most attractively designed price list among all the stalls to me anyway. You can see how the price escalates to almost double between the D24 and the Mao Shan Wang fillings. All these are snow skin chilled durian moon cakes only, no baked ones. The price on the left indicates the per box cost, while the price on the right indicates how much it costs per cake, if you wish to buy them individually. Interesting that the most expensive one is a durian which I think is called the golden phoenix last on the list. Now, a peep into the fridge to see the goods. The fridge looked empty except for 2 boxes of D These boxes came in a yellowy green hue. Not looking that festive to me, but I guess business was brisk. A check on the other side of the booth revealed similarly good business for the more expensive varieties. A lady had just purchased a box, which you can see the sales person closing the box. It appeared that some of these boxes had been booked and bagged already, awaiting collection. Clearly these durians are from Malaysia. But WAIT. I bought one for my TW who was visiting from Chicago and he was very excited about it. This cake shop clearly has their slew of loyal customers. Judging by those in the queue, this was neither their first time here nor the first time they were queuing. From the orders taken either at the door or by phone, everything was scribbled down by hand. It definitely retained the old-school feel and pumped out free delicious smells while you wait your turn to order. During this waiting time in the queue, there was plenty of time to browse the swiss rolls all neatly stacked in the fridge and to examine the flat cake that was exiting the oven on their trays in the tray trolleys. They were definitely made on site. Please note that this shop is a shop. Not a cafe, not a restaurant, nowhere to perch or sip an espresso. You get there if you drive, put on a coupon for at least half an hour, park on Kandahar Street , get in the queue, wait your turn and get out. If you want the frills, check out the Japanese inspired cafe down the block, but beware the prices. We went in to Sogo Causeway Bay on the weekend yeah, crazy idea right , to look for some outdoor gear. Well, that was what I intended anyway. SW led me into the basement. Anyway, a meander around the fruit section yielded some useful information on where Japanese people go for their durian fix. I noticed that he bought two. Does it seem a lot? Not if you consider the size of each fruit. Positively teeny weeny from a Malaysian perspective. It was a kilo or less I reckon. So, the price of the ones in the pack are pretty similar to each whole fruit. I would hesitate a guess that each whole fruit yields one and a half of these boxes. The stems look good and the fruit looks fresh and fungus free. Beside the durians, they had this fantastically huge watermelon. It could be a prize winner in fruit competitions. I remember at Ocean Park they sold King Watermelons, perfectly round, they are cut in half and sold as a cooling treat. I was shocked. How could ALL of those packets have disappeared off the shelves in such a short space of time? Aha there they were, discreetly placed with the chilled packed fruit. Excited and gleefully, I left with one packet. It was marked down half price as it was very ripe. Looks pretty good right. The durian was quite satisfactory, rich, smooth and slightly fermented taste. What a bargain at the supermarket. All of this at the Seven Eleven in the open arrival hall when you exit customs. This is perpetually crowded with queues snaking all the way round the back of the shop. But if you need a quick liquid durian fix….. I happened to walk by my usual fruit shop along Wan Chai Road next to Serge and spied this…. But I tell you what, the durian is better! At the fruit stall just outside Wan Chai Market, next to Serge et le Phoque, a little fruit stall with a nice fruit seller and some decent fruit, stocks durian from Malaysia. I told him it seemed expensive of course way more than what I would pay in KL , and he told me to come back tomorrow. I suspect that the fruit is already very ripe and he will be re-packing them in individual trays for sale. The wooden shelves and palettes were completely empty. Reliable Mao Shan Wang. Need I say more? They were barely chilled then polished off. It usually looks like this. Ahhh the black thorn is here. But so is the Musang king. How much does each set you back? Musang Kings or Mao Shan Wangs are back in season. Would I have more luck in Hong Kong, I wondered…. Durian moon cake price list. Only 2 boxes of D24 mooncakes left. See before you buy. Durian mooncakes in Hong Kong. Durian Swiss Roll anyone? Overheard while in the queue. Not wanting to argue on the escalator, we proceeded down two floors. Unconvinced, I did another sweep. Well, this is probably the closest thing I found to it. Durian drink anyone? Drinks to go. Seven Eleven at HK Airport. July is almost here and I hope we will be inundated with Malaysian mao shan wangs in Hong Kong. Musang Kings for sale. Fruit stall in Wan Chai. Dedicated to Durians.
