Starting today, (Jan 20) durian lovers in Singapore can enjoy the convenience of purchasing fresh, premium-quality Malaysian Mao Shan Wang durians from vending machines.
Reportedly, the durian retailer Kaki Kaki has installed a vending machine at Tampines MRT station, stocked daily with hand-picked durians sourced directly from Malaysia.
Typically, a 400g box of Mao Shan Wang retails for SGD 38, approximately RM125.
However, from 24th January to 12th February, customers can enjoy a special promotional price of SGD 18.88, approximately RM65.
According to The Straits Times, this initiative aims to make premium durians more accessible to the public.
In an effort to reduce waste, unsold durians will be repurposed into puree for cakes.
With over a decade of experience in the durian industry, Kaki Kaki has established a reputation for delivering high-quality products.
According to co-founder C.Y. Wong, 37, the vending machines enable the company to provide durians with consistency and precision.
Our cold-chain process ensures that the durians remain fresh from farm to table,” said Wong.
By working directly with Malaysian farmers and eliminating the need for middlemen, Kaki Kaki is able to keep prices competitive while maintaining exceptional standards.
Customers who prefer to have their durians delivered can place orders online.
Additionally, those who purchase three boxes during the promotional period will receive a guaranteed prize in the Kaki Kaki Ang Pow Box Giveaway, with prizes valued at up to SGD 500, approximately RM1,650.
This vending machine at Tampines MRT station is part of Kaki Kaki’s larger initiative to make durians more accessible.
The company had previously launched vending machines at condominiums such as Parc Oasis in Jurong East, Casa Merah in Tanah Merah, and Skypark Residences in Sembawang.
Kaki Kaki also operates a stall at Tiong Bahru Market for customers seeking a more traditional shopping experience.
With its innovative approach to durian retailing, Kaki Kaki is setting new standards in convenience and quality for durian enthusiasts.
