Using credit card to pay for durian?
Yes.. in Penang you can. Shopping for durian has gone upmarket in Penang and I found this to be really interesting. At least three stalls in Penang now accept credit cards… the stalls are located at Jalan Van Praagh, Relau and Mt Erskine.
Seng Durian Enterprise owner Ngang Boon Seng said: “Just like supermarkets and boutiques which accept credit cards, we want to offer such flexibility to our customers, too.”
“And business has been good as customers tend to buy more using credit cards,” he said, adding that a customer recently bought RM800 worth of durians.
It looks like the king of fruit has been accorded a special status not yet accorded to other fruits that are sold on the streets. I guess other fruits sellers around the nation will follow suit soon. Hmmm… I long for durian. I can’t even remember when was the last time I had durian.. it must have been a very long time ago. How about you?
