Fruit & Spice park in early Octuber?
« on: August 24, 2018, 03:55:48 PM »
I'm planning a 5/6 day getaway with the family, first choice was Vegas, but then I remembered in LA I could get some nice Monthong in China Town, so I suggested Disney and Orlando LOL, but then I thought of fruit and spice park, will there be still some fruits on the trees that worth the trip over there? Also is there a China town or a place that sells frozen Durian like CA?

I've seen frozen durian for sale in many Asian shops around my area either whole or in a plastic box. There should be lots of fruit on the trees still just no mangoes.

There is a place by me that sells whole durian, have never not seen it there. Of course if I send you there they will probably be out or out of season lol It is in South Broward.

 Yes, I’ve seen it frozen at Asian grocery stores also. It usually goes for about five dollars a pound.

There are oriental markets all over South Florida where frozen durian can be found (of course based on whats in stock).

What I meant is we are focusing mainly in Orlando Area, I want to visit Fruit and Spice park but the logistics of the tour are complicated.
