While Singapore may have many durian promos, few places can offer a price as low as Dato’ Sri Aliff is promising.
Now that we’re in the midst of the June holidays, it’d be a great chance to invite the family on a trip to Malaysia for a vacation as well as a durian feast.
We’re sure the great reception so far means the fruits may sell out really soon. So don’t waste more time and start planning your travels.
