The last few days, many people just went amok stocking up on rations as if disaster is looming.
Supermarket shelves were cleared, especially on instant noodles, rice, basic necessities.
Singapore's food supply can easily last 6 months. Why the panic?
Be rational!!! I rather 'stock up' on my health with more exercise and vitamins/minerals, etc. Booster your health helps reduce the chance of falling sick, energize your immunity, than lost the sanity and falling sick due to negative mindset.
I see more foreigners (our core workforce on keeping Singapore clean) buying fruits all the time. I don't see them getting paranoid grabbing all kinds of food stuff, but taking care of their immediate health.
Durians are known to be rich in vitamins and minerals. Potassium and zinc are good in helping fight bacterial.
So, rather than stock pile on food items, go and pump up your immunity please.
It was reported that China consumption of durian has dropped drastically, thus durian price had declined. I'm not sure. Doesn't matter.
The different variant of durians at the shop includes MSW, D24XO, Jing Fong and D13.
I tried some D13, and D24XO.
The D13 I had, doesn't even have a hint of sweetness. It was more bitter, the usual Kam Kam taste of D13, with a nice note of durian aroma lingering through the nose.
This D24XO was on the softer side.
Oh my, it's so nicely bitter and the aroma hit my nerves immediately. The alcoholic sensation was just so awesome. I simply loved it.
