I mentioned recently  in the dinner 2025 topic that my favourite ice cream flavour is durian. At that time I was buying the Marketside brand from the local Walmart store. It was acceptable but can only be had in boxes of four 50 gram tubs at ¥5 a tub.

 

Since then I have changed what little loyalty I have to Walmart into a local brand, 梦雪 (mèng xuě, literally 'dream snow') from the Chinese supermarket chain, 联华超市 (lián huá chāo shì), Lianhua Supermarkets. This comes in 75 gram tubs at only ¥3.9 each. Not is it a more satisfying size and cheaper but it has a more pronounced durian flavour and the store is much closer to my home than Walmart, meaning my ice cream hasn't melted by the time it's safely in my fridge. We are going through a spell of 35℃+ every day.
