Awesome Penang Durians, Labu, Red Prawns, Green Skin, Jantung, Red Meat, Tian Sern and Khoon Pa

This round I manage to have a good dose of Penang wide variety of durians. Truly for those who have had enough of 101, D24 and Musang King.

My personal assessment base on my taste buds. The best would be Red Prawns when the quality is good. The 2nd would be Khoon Poh.
