Cheaper king of fruits in Penang this season

Spoiled for choice: Customers looking at which variety of durian to buy at the Pulau Tikus market in George Town. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star

GEORGE TOWN: Penang’s “vintage durian clones”, which can only be found here, are priced at RM25 to RM35 per kg.

From the Ang Heh (Red Prawn) and Xiao Hong (Little Red) to the Capri, D11, Cheh Phoay (Green Skin) and many more, their prices are easier on the pockets than top shelf varieties like Black Thorn (about RM80 per kg) and Musang King (about RM50 per kg).
