The quality of the produce in the Kowloon City Market draws famous visitors like film star Chow Yun-fat, who is sometimes spotted buying his groceries here. Among the 581 stalls are vendors selling imported fruits from Southeast Asia, including mangos, rambutan and — most exotic of all — durian. Not everyone loves durian’s potent aroma and creamy, sweet-yet-savoury flavour, but it has legions of fans who come to Kowloon City during the late-summer durian season to hunt for some of the best specimens in Hong Kong.
