We are big fans of durian and we only buy from our favourite fruit stall.
As the elderly fruit stall uncle opened the durians and transferred the flesh into Styrofoam containers, he and 'Good Fren' would have a good chat in speedy Teochew about anything under the sun. Meanwhile, I'd either be standing around and smiling, not understanding much of the conversation, or in the car waiting with the hazard lights on.
In the latest round, the conversation topic was about foreigner vs local labour. Durian Uncle pointed out that foreigners had more purchasing power (at least 30%) than locals because they are not required to set aside 20% of their income for CPF, and that the employer's contribution portion (more than 10%) is given to them in cash.
Before we knew it, we had finished all the durian. We will definitely be going back for more!
