8 Durian Food Review: Farm Fresh Durian Delivery Singapore

Durian season is here, fans of the King of fruits get ready to consume your favourite durian this season.

With the situation that we are facing right now, it will be the ideal if we can also have fresh durian deliver to our home without the need to travel out to source for it.

Today I am going to introduce you to Singapore's favourite online durian delivery, 8 Durian.

Their durians come from a plantation in the high and mountainous regions of Pahang, Malaysia. 

8 Durian is one of the very few sellers in Singapore to be the providers of premium grade AAA Mao Shan Wang and Black Gold Durians.

The durians are freshly plucked and delivered on the same day. They have fresh shipments from Pahang Plantation twice daily at 10am and 6pm. It takes 8 hours to deliver from Pahang to Singapore and another hour to reach our door step, all within 12 hours. This will ensure we receive the freshest of the best quality of durians.

8 Durian's website is updated daily to show the available stock and rates for the different types of durians.

Here are the available types of durians. 

Do secure your order earlier for the best rates and avoid having your favourite durian being out of stock. 

There are 2 options for durians: Fresh durian and Frozen durian.

Frozen durians are left over stocks that are not being sold out daily. The left over durians are being chilled and sell as frozen durians at a much cheaper price. 

The delivery charges and time slots are as follows:

 Free Delivery: For orders above $100.00 

Same Day or Next Day Delivery: $10.00  

Express 1 Hour Delivery: $18.00 (To select ‘As soon as possible’ as your time slot). 

Delivery Time Slots: 

- 12 noon to 5 pm 

- 5 pm to 10 pm 

- 10 pm to 11:45 pm

My delivery arrived at about 2.30pm which was within my chosen time slot between 12pm to 5pm. The durians are de-husked and hygienically heat sealed in boxes to ensure ultimate freshness.

Should your order fails to arrive at the stipulated timing, a full refund via store credits will be made to you.

Here's what we ordered: Penang Red Prawn ($28.90), Premium Mao Shan Wang ‘AAA Grade’ ($42.90) and Premium Black Gold Durian ($47.90).

Premium Mao Shan Wang ‘AAA Grade’
$23.50/kg 
$42.90 per box

The first box that we opened was Mao Shan Wang (MSW) durian, it is the all time favourite among my family. Each box contains about 450g of durian flesh and seeds. It comes from 1.8 kg of husked durians. Though the durians are slightly pricey, the quality of the durians make up for it.

MSW has a signature of long flesh and small seeds. Itt has a rich and creamy texture with a balanced combination of bittersweet taste. We love how the flesh was dry and not the watery type which allows us to taste the premium of the flesh.

Premium Black Gold Durian

$27/kg

$47.90 per box

 8 Durian premium black gold durian comes from the oldest trees which ripe the best fruits. As such, the supply black gold durian is limited.

Black Gold is known for its legendary bitter flavour. The bitterness aftertaste is slightly stronger than MSW and not too sweet. It also has a brighter colour among the rest.

The box of Black Gold was simply satisfying and curb my parents' cravings for quality durian. The smaller seeds allow us to enjoy a greater proportion of the durian flesh.

Penang Red Prawn

$15.00/kg

$28.90 per box

Red Prawn is freshly plucked from authentic origin 15 year tree. Red Prawn has the sweetest flesh among the 3 flavours.

The creamy and sweet characteristic of Red Prawn has overpower the light bitterness taste.

Each of the flavours have its own distinct taste, there will be one that capture your appetite. Thanks 8 Durian for the sweet gesture, my family loves the durians very much.
