Seafood and meat supplier, Frozen & Co, is bringing back its durian market at Labrador Park this week from tomorrow (16 July) to 18 July 2021.

Here’s the promotion poster:

During this event, 200g MSW Durian will be retailing at S$12/box. However, each customer is entitled to purchase a maximum of 2 boxes or 400g of durian.

Besides the MSW promotion, there are other types of durians on offer:

• Premium MSW – S$29.90/400g
• Old Tree Pahang MSW S$35.90/400g
• Blackgold MSW – S$37.90/400g
• Jin Feng – S$29.90/400g

Be prepared for crowd

As this event was first held last week, there were many disgruntle patrons who have taken to Facebook to voice this dissatisfaction over the long wait for durians.

The organizer have since apologized.

Let’s hope they learned from their shortcoming last week.
