Durian season is back, and while some of us are scrambling to get our fix with durian delivery services in Singapore, an all-you-can-eat option has swept into town. New durian cafe DurianBB is now offering a free-flow Chilled Durian Buffet at their Lavender outlet, priced at $36.80 a person.

Customers get an unlimited supply of D197 Musang King (MSW), D24 XO, and D13 Golden Bun durians across a one-hour buffet time limit. Reservations are encouraged, as seatings are limited to 12 diners per session, and are on a first-come-first-served basis. You can book a slot here.

The price for the buffet is fairly reasonable, considering the quality of durian you get, and the air-conditioned cafe setting you’ll have your feast in. For one, MSW durians are the cream of the crop, and highly popular, so much so that prices can climb more than $25 a fruit during peak demand.Â

D24 XO durians are also another crowd favourite pick, thanks to their thick, creamy flesh and bittersweet profile. These used to be the king of all durian cultivars until MSW came for its throne. Lastly, D13 Golden Bun, widely grown in Johor, rounds off the selection as the sweetest of the bunch.
Durian buffets also average around $38 in Singapore, with prices going upwards of $40 when desserts come in the mix.
If the name DurianBB rings a bell, this is because the cafe is actually a concept by a notable durian farm in Pahang, Malaysia, which supplies top-grade MSW durians and more around Asia. The farm has spin-off DurianBB cafes in Hong Kong, Macau, China, Malaysia, and now Singapore. They have also held over 200 buffets since their inception.Â
Apart from the fruit itself, Durian BB also serves a myriad of desserts and ready-to-eat durian products made from their own harvests, spanning burnt cheesecake, polo bao, nougats, and even coffee, all sold at the cafe.
