18 durian delivery services to satisfy your cravings

Royal Durian specialises in the Pahang Mao Shan Wang durian which is freshly brought into Singapore in the day. In the evening, the durian is packed and immediately delivered to ensure its freshness when it reaches you. You can be assured that all their durian is of the highest standard as they never serve overnight durian. Instead, leftover stock is made into their own cold confectionery, like durian puffs and mousse, which are delicious in their own right.
