Your questions answered
When is durian season in Singapore?
Durian is seasonal and supply peaks tend to fall around the middle of the year and again toward the end of the year, though timing shifts with the Malaysian harvest. Because stock and prices change with each haul, it is best to check a stall's social media or call before visiting.
What is Mao Shan Wang and why is it so popular?
Mao Shan Wang (also called Musang King) is a prized durian variety known for its rich, bittersweet and creamy flesh. It is the headline variety at most stalls in this guide and usually the most sought-after, which is reflected in its price.
How much does durian cost in Singapore?
Durian is almost always sold by weight, and prices swing widely with variety, quality and season, so treat any figure as indicative only. Premium Mao Shan Wang typically costs the most, while varieties like D24 or Red Prawn are usually cheaper; confirm the day's price at the stall.
Are these durian stalls halal?
Fresh durian is a fruit, but the stalls listed here are not stated to be halal-certified, and durian cafes may serve other dishes. Muslim customers who want certainty should confirm directly with the stall before purchasing.
Should I check before making a trip to a durian stall?
Yes. Many durian stalls sell out, vary their hours by season, or only open once stock arrives, and several update availability on Facebook or Instagram. Call ahead or check the stall's page so you are not disappointed.
