Kompas.com reported that Kedai Ucok Durian Jakarta is owned by Nurul Wardah, a re-seller. Nurul said that Kedai Ucok Durian Jakarta buys the durians directly from Ucok Durian Medan.
However, unlike other Durian Ucok re-sellers, Nurul decided to open an eatery, not an online shop, allowing durian enthusiasts to enjoy the king of fruits in several variations.
Kedai Ucok Durian Jakarta opens daily from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. A box containing peeled durian is priced at Rp 95,000 (US$7.15), while a box of durian pancakes is offered for Rp 100,000. Special prices are available for the purchase of two boxes. Furthermore, durian ice cream is priced at Rp 19,000 and durian sambal is priced at Rp 40,000. (jes/asw)
