FairPrice Xtra Durian Buffet 2026 — 60-Min All-You-Can-Eat MSW, Black Thorn & More (Early Bird $75/pax Till 12 Jun)

DATES + LOCATIONS: the buffet runs at two FairPrice Xtra outlets on different weekends — FairPrice Xtra Parkway Parade from 19 to 21 June 2026, and FairPrice Xtra VivoCity from 26 to 28 June 2026. FORMAT: a 60-minute all-you-can-eat session in air-conditioned comfort (a big plus versus a hot roadside durian stall). PRICE: S$85 per person at standard rate; the EARLY-BIRD promo is 2 tickets for S$150 (S$75 per person — $20 off for two pax), available only until 12 June, after which it reverts to S$85/pax. DURIAN VARIETIES (unlimited): Mao Shan Wang (MSW), Black Thorn, King of King, Red Prawn, D24, and D13 — a premium spread that's the main draw. ALSO INCLUDED per ticket: complimentary fresh mangosteen (capped at 300g) and one fresh coconut per guest — a nice palate-cooler alongside the durian. IMPORTANT CONDITIONS: CDC Vouchers are accepted for in-store bookings, and there's a SURCHARGE of S$3 per 100g for uneaten durian left on your plate (to discourage over-grabbing + waste) — so take what you'll actually finish. Confirm the exact session times, booking method, and full terms on FairPrice's official durian-buffet page before you pay, as event details can be updated.

GETTING THE EARLY-BIRD: the deal is 2 tickets for S$150 (S$75/pax) and it's only available until 12 JUNE — so if you want it, book before then with a durian-loving partner (the early-bird is structured for 2 pax). After 12 June, tickets are S$85/pax. Book via FairPrice's official durian-buffet page/channels; CDC Vouchers are accepted for in-store bookings if you'd rather book at the store. MAKING THE MOST OF 60 MINUTES: (1) Go HUNGRY — skip a heavy meal beforehand; 60 minutes of durian is rich. (2) PRIORITISE THE PREMIUM varieties first — start with Mao Shan Wang + Black Thorn (the most prized), then try King of King, Red Prawn, D24 and D13; don't fill up on the less-premium ones early. (3) PACE + PORTION — take a few seeds at a time rather than piling your plate, because of the S$3-per-100g surcharge on uneaten durian left behind; you can always go back for more. (4) USE THE MANGOSTEEN + COCONUT to cool your palate between rich pieces (in Singapore tradition, mangosteen is the 'cooling' counterpart to 'heaty' durian). (5) HYDRATE — durian is heavy; the coconut water helps. (6) Arrive a little early for your session so you're seated and ready when the clock starts. If you can't finish your durian, take only what you'll eat to avoid the surcharge. Confirm the exact booking steps + session timing on the official FairPrice page.
