Love it or hate it, durian season has arrived in Singapore. The island is bursting with pop-up stalls, all-you-can-eat buffets, and street-side tastings that will make your taste buds tingle (or tremble!).
What Makes Durian Season So Special?
In Singapore, durian season typically peaks between June and August, when fresh harvests arrive daily from Malaysia. This is the best time to try the creamiest, freshest, and most aromatic durians — and if you're lucky, at slightly better prices.
It’s not just a snack — it’s a cultural obsession. Locals gather with friends and family at open-air stalls under umbrellas and string lights, cracking open spiky shells to savor golden, custard-like flesh. For many, it's more than a fruit — it's a ritual.

A luxury twist on durian season! Expect Mao Shan Wang cakes, puffs, ice cream, and even crepes. Perfect for dessert lovers.
2. Combat Durian (Balestier Road)

Pro Tips for First-Timers
Go with locals if you can — they’ll teach you how to pick the best ones.
Use your hands — it's tradition, just keep tissues and wet wipes ready.
Avoid white clothes — durian can get messy.
Don’t bring it on public transport — the smell is banned on buses and MRTs.
