Durian Soldier is a produce market at 11 Sin Ming Road, #01-23 Thomson V, in Bishan, Singapore. It holds a Google rating of 4.8 from 33 reviews.
A good produce market is judged on the ripeness of its stock, how the fruit is displayed, and whether the seller will let you check or taste before buying. Durian should smell sweet and fragrant, with a firm stem and no sour or fermented note, so it helps to ask the seller to open one for you. Fruit sold by weight is best checked for bruising. Regulars tend to visit early in the morning, when the stock is freshest, and return to the same stall for their weekly order.
Thomson V is a residential and commercial block in Bishan, which makes this fruit market a handy place to pick up fresh fruit close to home.
