If there was ever a time to organise your very own durian party at home, this would be it.
According to Giant’s Facebook post on Tuesday (23 May), the following types of durian will be available at the sale at its Tampines branch:
Prices start from as low as S$2, so you don’t have to worry about spending a small fortune just to satisfy your intense craving for the King of Fruits.
However, do note that each customer is limited to purchasing just two pieces of the S$2 durians.

Simply tell them what you prefer or happen to have a yearning for at that moment — something bitter, sweet, creamy, or all three? — and they’ll direct you to the right section.
After that, head home, crack open the thorny shell, and try not to drool as you admire the soft golden flesh inside.
