Durian Delivery Review: We Tried Durian SG Prime and Here’s What We Think

My husband’s colleague raved about Durian SG Prime after ordering delivery, so we jumped on the bandwagon. Living where we do, getting quality durians means settling for whatever Sheng Siong has—and honestly? Not worth the price tag.

Here’s the thing about Durian SG Prime: they’re not just some random delivery service. They’ve got an actual shop at 456 Geylang Road, #24A, Singapore 389415 if you want to pick up yourself.

Packaging was pretty basic—the durians came in simple plastic bags, nothing fancy.

An honest seller who prioritises customer satisfaction—they offer a 1-to-1 replacement if you’re unhappy with your durians.

First Order: Testing the Waters

Since durian prices fluctuate, do check their website for the latest prices. Also, wait for the pop-up window to appear as you scroll all the way down the homepage and sign up for their newsletter — they’ll email promo codes that you can use when placing your durian order.

Hubby scored a 67% off promo code from their EDM. Doorstep delivery costs an extra $8.90, which seemed reasonable.

We ordered at night for next-day delivery. They let you pick time slots—we chose 1-3pm and the delivery guy showed up at 1.30pm. Bang on time.

How Durian SG Prime Packages Their Durians

They sell durians in 800g boxes. That’s more than double what you’d get in those small styrofoam boxes from other durian stalls.

We weighed each box ourselves. Spot on—give or take a few grams from 800g.

The moment we peeled off the plastic covers, the aroma hit us. Shiok.

Normal MSW Durian ($23/kg)

Super creamy texture. Sticky consistency. Bitter aftertaste that lingers nicely.

Mostly small, flat seeds throughout. The whole box only had 2 bigger seeds—more flesh for us.

Tiger Old Tree MSW Durian ($25/kg)

Less bitter than the normal MSW. Slight alcoholic flavour that adds complexity. Just as creamy and sticky.

The seeds are so flat, which really shows how meaty these durians are.

Between the two, I preferred the Tiger Old Tree. That alcoholic note made all the difference.

Not the cheapest durians around, but for doorstep delivery? Worth every dollar. The durians tasted fresh—that’s what matters most.

Round Two: Going Premium

Few days later, the craving hit again. We ordered in the morning, got same-day afternoon delivery. This time we splurged on pricier varieties, including their most expensive offering.

Tiger Black Gold Durian ($27/kg)

Not as creamy or sticky as the Normal or Old Tree MSW durians. But still moist inside. Meaty texture that fills your mouth.

More balanced flavour profile—not overwhelmingly bitter or sweet. Half the seeds were bigger sized but still somewhat flat.

Of all four varieties we tried, this won hands down. That balance just worked.

Leaf Black Gold MSW Durian ($33/kg)

Their most expensive lot. Creamier than Tiger Black Gold. More bitter too.

Mostly small flat seeds throughout the box.

The Verdict on Durian SG Prime

We’re initiated into luxury durians now. Aspiring durian connoisseurs, if you will. Going back to regular MSW feels impossible—oh no.

But honestly? Good durians deserve the splurge. Every now and then, or as often as you fancy, so long as you’re not worried about getting heaty from overdoing it.

Zero regrets.

Durian SG Prime delivers fresh, quality durians right to your door. Their 800g boxes give you proper value. Delivery’s reliable. The durians themselves? Top-notch.

If you’re stuck with subpar supermarket durians or can’t be bothered trekking to Geylang, give Durian SG Prime a shot. Your taste buds will thank you. 😉
