Gerenti Baik
Huh? What GERENTI BAIK? Ahh.. i suppose u know it by now after reading it for second time.
Yes, it means ‘Guranteed Good Durian’… :p Direct translation from malay.
Haha, i found this board on the way walking to my office. There was a durian stall there, but it did not open everyday.
I’ve noticed it for quite sometime. But did not take down the pic. (actually i was shy to take, coz the board was along the roadside where there are mamak stalls, people walking around and cars passing by)
Cant help to wonder why would they spell it that way…hmmm
By the way, caker the durian lover, is it a norm to spell that way at those durian stalls?

As long as the durians are cheap and good, who cares what’s written on the board?

Durians must be banned. There’s a reason why it’s thorny outside so no one opens it. :-P

Aiyo - This proves how bad u Malaysians are … Durian pun tak tahu beli ka
I grow up in a durian loving family and my grandfather’s family has got a few durian orchard … i have a plot myself too …
Ok this is how it goes, when people sell durian, not those RM10 for 3, 5 , 10 of the fruit, this “Gerenti Baik” means “Pau Sik” - or literally mean the fella give you a guarantee that its good la …normally on those expensive variants la, not those thai durians la … those d24, d12, grey skin and etc etc … ok you choose which one u wan, u smell, u shake it, lick it, bang it against ur head, until u know which wan u wan, or u can just ask him to recommend la … then the fella weight it, u ok with it, he open la … ok if its nice u choose another one and do the same as above la …
if its not nice, the seller will confirm this and takes it back and the fella makan sendiri la, u get to choose another one, even though u makan like one two seed or 3 from the durian … but dont go choosing all and say not nice, you see the knife they open the durian, he will open ur head with it …
Ok this Durian buying lessons is brought to you by the letters K, U, K, U, J, I, A, O …
