SINGAPORE – ‘Tis the season for durians and you would have felt their conspicuous, declarative presence in our neighbourhoods by now. But in recent days, the thorny treasures from Malaysia are found in abundance not just at the usual places.
Eat-all-you-can durian buffets are also catching on. Giant Hypermarket held its first durian buffet at its Tampines outlet’s carpark last week and attracted a strong showing. Its spokesman told ST it plans to offer the one-hour buffet again. Other durian stores like Zeng Zu Fu and Lexus Durian King are also offering free-flow durian feast this season.The pungent delicacy wouldn’t have been here, there and everywhere if not for the bountiful supply from Malaysia’s farms this season.
The One Salon in Bedok is offering free haircut for customers who buy at least $20 worth of durians. ST PHOTO: GIN TAY “When sales are slower on weekdays, we may not be able to sell all our stock. Around 20 to 30 per cent of them would be spoiled,” the 30-year-old said.The recent heat spell causes more durians to ripen simultaneously, which compels growers to act fast to deliver them here.

Besides the weather condition, the KLSFFA spokesman pointed out that the increase in supply is to be expected as there are now more farms with more fruit-bearing trees, after an influx of investment in Malaysia’s durian cultivation sector around seven years ago.
