168 Ah Choon Durian
146, Jalan Tun Sardon, 11000 Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Long-time fixture of the Balik Pulau durian scene. Ah Choon manages his orchard behind the main road Jalan Tun Sardon, and other areas. And the store front is a red tentage that you simply cannot miss as it’s positioned right at a bend, making it look like the end point of a cul-de-sac.
Because there are so many durian stores along this road, you’ll most probably already had you durian fix by the time you get to the location.
Some rare durians that would be hard to find anywhere else. Saying that he does his wholesale business from this location too. So the rare durians do sometimes get moved to retailers who collect durians from here by the baskets.
If you don’t have a destination in mind, then this is a nice pitstop to ponder your next moves while slurping on a green skin. Ah Choon will chat you up like an old friend.
