Went for fresh durian, but the sellers are a dishonest bunch. If you see this and still want to try them, just choose items that do not require weighing, unless you feel like making a donation to them.

I seldom give 1 star, but this is so terrible. It was a Thai durian, but labeled as Mao Shan Wang to sell at a premium price.

Here's the edited review:
Very nice fruit shop at the back of the Bugis Street complex and just across the street from Albert Hawker Centre.
They have a large selection of fruits, and they seem to get fresh stock at least once a week. Prices are fairly reasonable, though they fluctuate almost daily. E.g., mangoes are $0.80 each when new stock arrives; then, the ones that are too ripe or lower quality drop to $0.50 to $0.70 each, while the good, large-sized ones go for $1 each.
Over the last week, they have started to get new fruits—durian, lychee, rambutan, etc. They also sell some cut fruits in Styrofoam packaging, e.g., papaya, melon, pineapple.
Check often for the latest stock and prices.

Looking to buy fruits at affordable prices and good value for money? Come here! Despite its location in the city, fruits are surprisingly cheap. Yes, although everything is labeled 'Sweet,' please make an educated guess if it's true. For example: Are green plums sweet? And who would advertise anything as sour? Come here weekly for cheap deals; they sell every fruit in season, ranging from durians, coconuts (with cutting services), jackfruits, blueberries, mangoes, bananas, plums, oranges, apples, and many other types of fruits (too many to list). See pictures for more info. Sometimes you get a good bang for your buck, and they may give you one or two more pieces of fruit for free. They are constantly stocking fruits, so fruit turnover is pretty fast. Good deals have to be judged by your own eyes; for example, a whole bag of yellow kiwi for 3 dollars is a big steal, to be honest. Strawberries: 3 boxes for 10 dollars is dirt cheap. Be prepared to sweat and squeeze through the crowd of locals, tourists, and people from all walks of life. Bring a trolley so you don't have to carry bags of fruit with you. It's definitely worth a weekly visit on Saturday or Sunday, as those are the days when sales are high and turnover is fastest. Bran says the bag of yellow kiwi for 3 dollars is cheap, and I'm going home to peel them now.

I’ve been buying fruit here for a year because it’s close to my school. But today, while I was choosing fruit, the seller gave me a box of spoiled papaya and accused me of damaging it. She told me to buy it. I asked her to check the camera, stating that if I really did it, I would take it.
Before checking the footage, they kept saying I was the one who did it. People around stared at us as if we were causing trouble. In the end, they checked and found nothing, so they let me go.
It was an upsetting experience.
