A TikTok user has gone viral after sharing that her father allegedly spent $1,600 on durians sold door-to-door by a man claiming to be from Malaysia.
In the one-minute clip posted on Oct 29, TikTok user @dezthedin0 recounted how a durian seller turned up at their home on Oct 28, saying he “just drove all the way down from Pahang, Malaysia” with a truckload of durians he couldn’t sell.
The post, captioned “If my mom sees this, my dad GG alr”, has since garnered over 18,400 views, 570 likes and 90 comments.
Over 100 kg worth of durians
According to the TikToker, her father ended up buying two sacks of Mao Shan Wang durians, weighing over 100kg in total, for $1,600, although it was unclear if the amount was in Singapore or Malaysian currency.
The seller, who was going door to door, reportedly claimed his Singapore customer had cancelled on him, and that he couldn’t return home to his wife and two-year-old daughter unless he sold off the load.
The durian seller “brought his knife and cut open the durians” right there, the TikToker said in the comments, adding that the fruits were “actually really good”.
