[EVENT POSTPONED] Durian Opening & Tasting Party

*** It is with much regret to inform you that we’ve had to postpone our Durian Opening & Tasting Party event to an undecided date.

Due to the poor pre-sale response and also family health matters to attend to - we are unable to host this Saturday’s event.

We will be refunding all who have pre-purchased their tickets, but will inform you as soon as we fix a date!

We haven’t hosted a durian tasting party since February, and are as gutted as you are. We will definitely be back!! Keep in touch by clicking on the “Notify when available” button. ***

Join The Thorny Fruit Co at Paddy’s Market Flemington to experience Malaysian durians in Sydney! 

Imported direct from the durian orchards on the mountainside Raub Pahang, and from plantations in Johor, this year’s selection of 2020 season durians will be presented to you as whole fruit with the shell, or on a tasting plate with different varieties.

If you’re after whole durians - we’ll weigh them for payment, open the shell for you, then pop the pulp into containers for you to take home. Or simply select, weigh, pay and take them home.

Or if you need help deciding your favourite tasting durian, opt for our a tasting plate.

***

Select from two tasting plate options with 2-3 different durian clones among them :

THE SWEET TOOTH $25 per plate

Savour the 2 creamy sweet with a hint of bittersweet varieties approximately 300g in total:

• Don’s Durians D101
