‘Tis the durian season, and most of us are on the hunt for cheap deals for the king of fruits.

The offer seems to have been a resounding success, with customers flocking to his stall in Selangor for a chance to snag the fruits.

KL Foodie noted that the offer will be valid for a limited time only, though no end date is stated.

In a set of pictures uploaded by Dato’ Sri Aliff, countless customers swarmed the stall to get a taste of the king of fruits.

If you have plans to travel to Malaysia soon and wish to drop by the stall, here’s how to get there:

D’Herbs Holdings
Address: 6-1, Jalan Pekaka, 8/1D, PJU 5 Prestij, Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Dates: Daily for a limited time
Durian sale hours: 12pm – 7pm

Hope the sale benefits the wider community

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.
