Located in Lavender at 462 Crawford Lane, DurianBB is offering a Free-flow chilled durian buffet at S$36.80/pax from now until 27 Dec 2020 and it comes with four varieties of durian (Musang King, XO, Kampung and D13).

It’s eat-all-you-can within one hour, and slots are available between 2pm – 5pm each day on a first-come first-served basis.

At DurianBB’s “Free-flow Chilled Durian Buffet”, you start off with a set of 4 pieces of Musang King, XO, Kampung and D13, and you may replenish the durians as many times as you want,

However, it will always be served in the same set of four varieties, meaning you cannot only order the Musang King for the entire durian buffet.

The annual Durian Fest at Resorts World Sentosa returns again!

This immensely popular durian buffet sees a sell-out every year, with slots taken within days of launch, and if you haven’t been, you totally should this year. With predicted low durian supplies due to the heat wave, you can be the only one out of all your friends to brag that you have had an all-you-can-eat feast of the King of Fruits. The crowd-favourite event is also a display of the world’s largest stack of durians, with premium grades and types for you to go crazy over.

Durian Fest 2016 will be held over a period of three days – 19 to 21 August 2016. It is your time to party with durians, on top of the selection of tropical fruits. It is a definite feast. Durian on free flow – does that not sound like the best summer idea already?!

Here are some highlights from our escapade at Durian Fest 2015, and why we cannot wait for Durian Fest 2016.

Only the best durians will be offered at RWS Durian Fest 2016 and you can pick from the buttery golden Mao Shan Wang, Jin Feng, Ang Heh, D13 and Zhu Jiao durians. Just go to the durian stack, take your pick, and it will be cut open fresh for you.

Thinking it might be too heaty with the durian overload? Don’t you worry about it. Coconut juice is also available on a free-flow basis, so drink up and cool yourselves down! There’s the three-leg cooling water if you’d prefer, too.

Other tropical fruits included in the buffet are rambutan and mangosteens. We remember them from last year’s Durian Fest in particular because they were plump and sweet, and we had so many of those too. Now you see why we say Durian Fest 2016 is a must-go?

This post is brought to you by Resorts World Sentosa.

Every year, Resorts World Sentosa celebrates the love for durians with an annual Durian Fest, showcasing only the best durians available on the market. This year’s event, held on 10 & 11 July 2015, was a resounding success with tickets selling out quicker than you could spell ‘durian’. Pleasing hundreds of people all over Singapore, the main draw of this yearly affair is that premium durians are served and prepared for you free-flow so you can literally have as many as you desire!

Alongside the massive stack of durians available over the two days were seasonal fruits such as longkong, jackfruit, mangosteens and rambutans. To wash down the richness of the durians, bottles of cooling water and fresh coconuts were also made conveniently available. 

The annual Durian Fest at Resorts World Sentosa is truly an unforgettably spectacular event, and here are some highlights to share. You know you have to be at the next one in 2016.

The event was held at The Coliseum at Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, because every year, there is a large number of people to cater to. It is like a gathering for all the durian fans in Singapore! Napkins and gloves are provided for, together with a mini basket for you to dump all your shells and seed at.

The stage at The Coliseum was where all the prized gems were. As the World’s Largest Stack of Durians, expect only the best of the best durians – all ready for you to feast on. You can find the highly raved about ‘butter durian’ – Mao Shan Wang, the classic local favourite – D24, and other delicious option such as the sweet Qing Zhu (or ‘Green Bamboo’).

You can join the crowd at the front of the stage to choose your favourite kinds and to pick your pieces, and there will be someone to cut and prepare the durians for you to consume. Free flow of durians might seem like a dream to many, and the good news is that those dreams can become a reality every year at Resorts World Sentosa for the annual Durian Fest.

If having a lot of your favourite durians might be ‘heaty‘ for you, wash it down with a refreshing coconut that is served to you chilled. Nothing feels quite as rejuvenating as washing down the durian with some sweet coconut water.

Well, once again, you do not have to do the “dirty job”. Just place your order for the coconuts, the server will chop it for you, and you can sit back and enjoy the royally pleasing treat. Best way to combat the summer heat too!

The star of the show may be the durians, but the jackfruit served were so sweet and juicy that we were surprised we could stay away from binge-eating the delicious durians for a moment.

Longkongs (or sometimes referred to as Langsat) contains a translucent juicy center that bursts with sweetness as you bite into it. The Longkong is a splendid combination of sour and sweet, providing a nice tartness and tanginess.

The rambutan flesh tasted almost like the longkongs – sweet and sour all at a time. We loved the crunch of the fruit too!

The mangosteen is a beautiful seasonal fruit and was also available as part of the buffet line-up. This fruit is relatively expensive, but here at the buffet, you can eat your fill and eat all you want! All of the seasonal fruits are best eaten after a round of durians, to cleanse and prepare your palates for perhaps, even more durians!

D24 has long be thought to be one of the best durians and is also a favourite among Singaporeans and durian connoisseurs. Some like their durians nice and bitter, some like it just a little sweeter. Bitter durians might be an acquired taste to some, but for many at the buffet, it was a hit! D24 is known to be a creamy and bitter variety of durian, and is highly favoured for its premium taste as such.

‘Mao Shan Wang’ literally translates to ‘Cat Mountain King’, and it spots a very distinct bright yellow colour. This fleshy gem is referred to as ‘butter durian’ as it is extremely creamy, possibly the creamiest durian in the market.

It has the perfect balance of bitter and sweet and the richness of the durian flesh is to die for. The buttery smooth taste of the ‘Mao Shan Wang’ brands itself as the ‘King of Durians’ and we are not complaining.

The ‘Qing Zhu’ (Green Bamboo) is the sweetest of the lot and popular amongst those who dislike bitterness in their durians. Even though this range is not as creamy and fleshy as compared to the other two, the nice sweet taste of the flesh is one to remember. And we actually enjoyed this range the most!

Every year during durian season, you might find yourself chalking up bills of a few hundred dollars just from buying a few of these premium durians. The annual Durian Fest is the perfect opportunity to binge as much durians as you want without victimising your bank account.

For just S$98nett (adult, non-member), it is a completely fantastic deal. However, if you sign up for a RWS Invites membership, together with the purchase of 2 adult passes, you only pay S$75 per person. This is just one of the many countless benefits of being an RWS Invites member, together with other dining benefits and discounts. To find out more on how you can become an RWS Invites member, head on to www.rwsinvites.rwsentosa.com.

There is also a durian mascot going around to keep the little ones entertained!

The new Sentosa Boardwalk is a great way to travel to Sentosa on foot. Featuring tropical landscapes, the garden-themed boardwalk has a stunning view of the bay as you take a leisure stroll from VivoCity Shopping Mall’s waterfront promenade, made easy by two-way canopy-covered travellators.

From 9th to 26th Jun 2011, Sentosa Boardwalk has a Crab and Durian Buffet for $38++/pax. I think that this is a value-for-money buffet, especially so if you like crabs and durian.

The Ultimate Crab and Durian Buffet at Sentosa Boardwalk has more than 40 items available, and the crab dishes highlights include: Salted Egg Yolk Crab, Nonya Curry Crab, Wok-Fried Chili Sri Lanka Crab, Black Pepper Sri Lankan Crab, Masala Mud Crab, and Ginger Scallion Flower Crab.

The durian highlights are Durian Pengat, Durian Cheesecake, Durian Mousse, and ‘Live’ Durians. Besides crabs and durians, there are also other dishes such as Fresh Oysters, Sashimi and Sushi, Poached Tiger Prawns, Slippery Lobsters, Shrimp Paste Chicken, Roast Beef Rump, Whole Bake Salmon and more.

At a media tasting last week, they served us some of the dishes (actual plating will be buffet style): chilli crab, pepper crab, salted egg yolk crab, roast beef rump and durian desserts.

Whilst the salted egg yolk crab was not exactly warm, I thought that the taste was competent. The others preferred the (extremely) spicy wok-fried chilli crab and black pepper crab. Given that the crab buffet is only $38++/pax, I’d think that it is worth trying even though the crabs chosen were slightly smaller.

This is an all-you-can-eat-buffet. You know what this means? You can feast all you want, and blame it on me for introducing you this Sentosa for arranging the crab & durian buffet.

For reservations, please call 6279 1767 or email to carla_cardona@sentosa.com.sg.

// Latest update: The Ultimate Crab & Durian Buffet is fully booked, you can still try your luck by calling and see if there are any last minute cancellations.
